Introduction
Shortcodes are commonly used on WordPress websites to embed dynamic content. However, their functionality does not extend natively into the BuddyBoss App.
Shortcode Compatibility in the App
- Shortcodes are not supported out of the box in the BuddyBoss App.
- The app communicates with your site using APIs, not traditional shortcodes.
- Any shortcode or shortcode-based plugin content will not render in the app interface unless custom development is done.
How to Display Shortcode-Based Content
If you need to display content built with shortcodes:
- Use a Web-Fallback page to load a web version of the content inside the app.
- This provides a seamless way to maintain access to the content without native support.
Troubleshooting and FAQs
Q: Why do my shortcodes work on the website but not in the app?
A: The BuddyBoss App uses API-based rendering and doesn’t process shortcodes like a web browser would.
Q: Can I use Elementor shortcodes in the app?
A: No, not natively. You’ll need to render the page via a Web-Fallback.
Q: What’s the easiest way to show shortcode content in the app?
A: Use a Web-Fallback that links to the page containing the shortcodes..
