WAIT: Membership Works: Shortcode element doesn't work with some shortcodes?

[ianforest]

So a customer of mine is having a site refresh and I’m trying to integrate a membership package they use called membership works. It has a WordPress plugin and you just stick shortcodes into pages and they just get replaced with whatever that shortcode does, i.e. display a map, a directory, a dashboard or whatever.

Thing is, I can’t get the shortcodes to work at all with Bricks. I reached out to membership works and they told me…

“The issue would be due to the page content not being processed through the WordPress the_content or widget_text filters, which is standard behavior. We have found some theme or page builders that do not do that. The most likely culprit is the page builder - so the first thing to try is to switch to the standard WordPress editor on those pages and entering the shortcode using the WordPress editor (using a Text element).”

I did that, and it worked…but I can’t get it to work with bricks using the shortcode element although it does work with the “rich text” element.

Can the shortcode element be enhanced so we can use that instead maybe?

Hey Ian,
Thanks a lot for your report, and sorry for the late reply!

Can you also repdroduce the problem with Bricks 1.7? There we use a custom filter instead of the standard filter, which fixes the problems for other membership plugin users:

SOLVED: Ultimate Member (and others) not working properly with Bricks - Bricks issue

Bricks Version: 1.6.1 Browser: Edge 108 OS: Ubuntu 21 For the past few weeks, I have been trying to implement the functionality of blocking access to the site’s resources using plugins like “Membership”. However, each of them caused the problem that the restricted pages were blocking the Rich Text fields contained in the header and footer. Recently I’ve been struggling with Ultimate Member, I’ve been able to unblock post titles and menu items using various settings, but the footer is still bl…

Hi, sorry for the late reply. With 1.7 it’s not working at all.

I have tried the shortcode element, basic text element, code element and rich text element and none of them now display the content that the membership works shortcodes create.

As I stated in my previous post, rich text DID work but in 1.7 it now does NOT work.

Looks like I may need to roll back to 1.6.2.

In further testing, I have just installed a basic Wordpress theme, and the plugin shortcodes work as expected so there is definitely something broken within Bricks 1.7 that stops these shortcodes from rendering.

Hey Ian,
This is probably because we now use our own filter, which solves the problems with most of the other membership plugins. Membership works seem to work differently, but I can’t find any information.

Accordingly, please create a test environment with Bricks 1.7 and send us the access data + a link to this thread to help@bricksbuilder.io.

Hi, this has been done, thank you.

Sorry for the delay.
