Square Brackets in my registration email's CSS being interpreted as shortcodes.

Hi,

I wanted my email outs from the system to appear consistent with my other marketing material, that which I currently send out using campaign monitor.
My email templates css uses square brackets, but once I hit save, Event Espresso assumes these are shortcodes and obviously says they aren’t valid shortcodes.

Can anyone think of a work around for this? (Not changing the css).

Not an ideal solution, but perhaps I could hard code the CSS into the php page where and before it sends out the content from the WYSIWYG editor? If that could work, do you know where this would be? Better suggestions are more than welcome 🙂

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul,

You could try entering them as HTML entities. These seem to work ok:

Left
& #x0005B;
& #91;

Right
& #x0005D;
& #93;

Note: I had to include a space after each & symbol, so be sure to remove that before saving your message template
