Expanding Read More shortcode in product category description

[lew-egr]

Hi, Great theme!

I am using https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-show-more/ plugin to create expanding ‘Read More’ sections for product categories, however it just displays the shortcode as plain text.

I had the same issue with another theme, this time getting it to work on brand descriptions, and adding the following fixed the problem.

add_filter( 'term_description', 'do_shortcode' );

Unfortunately in Nota, changing that to:

add_filter( 'category_description', 'do_shortcode' );

didn’t fix the problem.

The shortcode works elsewhere on the site, even in the .term-description.container. This shows the cat description under the product filters (with functioning shortcode), but I want the category description to sit under the page title.

Where am i going wrong?

Thanks

Hi,

Glad you like the theme, could you screenshot where you want to place the shortcode just to clarify?

Cheers,
David.

It looks like you are adding the shortcode to the category descriptions correct?

If so, please install and activate the supplied child theme, inside the child theme folder functions.php create a file called page-title.php.

Inside this file paste this code: https://gist.github.com/webadelic/212654ee685a68cd9535734569c15e81.

Thanks.
