Hi,

I have a CRED form that has my own (custom) shortcode included to display some content.

The cred form including my shortcodes displays no problem on initial page load. However after I submit using AJAX, the form is regenerated, but does now displays my shortcodes as text. (The CRED shortcodes display normally without any problem). SCreenshots attached.

I tried adding my shortcodes to "3rd party shortcodes" in settings

This is eventually due to the AJAX call, and your ShortCode is not re-firing on that call.

For example, in Toolset Views if you update a search by AJAX you can re-hook custom JS code to certain events such as when the results are updated by AJAX.

Toolset Forms has no such hooks as public API.

But then, I am as well not sure what code you use, since when I use a Dummy ShortCode of my own, I have no issues using it, before or after AJAX submit of the Post Form I created.

Eventually this has as well to do with your Custom ShortCode.

I mean, the ShortCode cannot really break as the Form does not reload the page, it just cleans the fields and leaves it ready for a new post.

I guess the Custom ShortCode is complex you use and subject to custom code, but I could still have a look to see if I can spot what's breaking it's output in an AJAX form
