Use shortcodes in terms description?

Question

Anyone knows a way of using shortcodes on terms description? This is possible?

Answer 1

I believe the following should work:

<?php
  $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
  $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]&gt;', $content);
?>

You could put this in the template of in a hooked functions.

I've cribbed this from here and here, where the intention is to write content from get_the_content() (raw) in an equivalent way to the_content() (amongst other things: parsed shortcodes).

Good luck!

Answer 2

I am not sure if it's only code that is needed, but Hybrid has this filter mod for such:

add_filter( 'term_description', 'do_shortcode' );

If this doesn't work I'll try to go over code more thoroughly.
