I've created a shortcode that calculates the length of a post title.
I've inserted that shortcode in a column of a View that gives a tabular display of the post type.
That all works fine.
I've now just added a front-end filter to the view (such an excellent feature!) and I want the filtered view to displayed via JS rather than reloading the whole page.
Unfortunatlely, the shortcode doesn't get executed when there's a JS reload, and the filtered view shows the shortcode itself.
Is this what you'd expect to happen? Is there a fix?
In the worst case, I can calculate the title length when the post is created or edited and store it in the post as another custom field - but I'd rather calculate it on the fly: it's much more straightforward!
Thanks.
Hi Alex,
Thank you for contacting us and I'll be happy to assist.
I performed a few tests on my website, with a custom shortcode and a view with AJAX results, but couldn't reproduce the issue.
Can you please share temporary admin access, so that I can check how the view and the custom shortcode are set up?
( I've set your next reply as private )
Important: Please make a complete backup copy of the website, before sharing the access details.
regards,
Waqar
Hi Alex,
Thank you for sharing the details.
I noticed that in your custom shortcode's settings, the option to execute in "AJAX calls" was not checked.

I've enabled that option and that shortcode now renders properly when the results update, through AJAX.

Oh my!
I've never looked at those settings - they seem to be all set by default. I guess I must have inadvertently clicked the checkbox.
My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
