Hi,

I have created a custom shortcode by adding code in theme's function file. It is working fine when I use shortcode on a standalone page.

However when I try to add it on a layout template for a custom post, it does not work. Nothing is displayed. Can you help me on this?

I suspect the problem is in the code of the shortcode itself, perhaps because the context is different than you anticipated when writing the shortcode.

You can verify that shortcodes should be parsed and output within a Layouts template by registering a [dummy] shortcode with the following code and inserting the shortcode in your template:

add_shortcode('dummy', function () {

    return "Dummy text";
});

If you share the code of your shortcode I might be able to spot the problem.

Hi,

As I mentioned, shortcode is working fine when included on a separate page but not working in a layout template. My first question is whether can I include a shortcode within a layout template or not?

Shortcodes work in Layouts templates, yes.

In the screenshot you can see the result of the test I described in my first reply.

The problem will be with your shortcode code. You can try the same test to verify.
