Custom Shortcodes on Archive Page not rendering

[thomasavvion]

Issue Overview

Custom shortcodes that work fine on pages / post types and inside pods templates - are not rendered on the archive page.

Expected Behavior

I have defined custom shortcodes in my functions.php that render the pods field labels in the frontend.

I want to use these custom shortcodes not only in pods templates and inside custom post types, but also on my customized archive.php.

Current Behavior

Points 1-4 below illustrate what I have done and what the results are

1. Here is the code for the shortcodes in my functions.php:

`/*

• Pods Shortcode
  */
  function pods_get_field_label($atts) {
  //if($ct === false || $label === false)

$tmp = explode('_', $atts['field']);
$ct = false;
if(is_array($tmp)) {
$ct = $tmp[1];
}

$ct = pods('post_type_' . $ct);

return $ct->fields( $atts['field'], 'label' );
}
add_shortcode( 'get_field_label', 'pods_get_field_label' );

/*

• Image Sizes in List
  */
  function pods_get_image($atts) {
  $mypod = pods( 'post_type_project', $atts['pods_id'] );
  $mypod_image = $mypod->field('field_project_image_teaser');
  $rand_size = array('project-teaser-large', 'project-teaser-small');
  $rand_num = rand(0,1);
  $size = wp_get_attachment_image_src($mypod_image['ID'], $rand_size[$rand_num]);

//return '

';
return '

';
}
add_shortcode( 'get_pods_image', 'pods_get_image' );`

2. Here is the pods template "template_post_type_project_list" that uses the shortcodes:

<a href="{@permalink,esc_url}" class="custom-template project-list-item {@taxonomy_project_category}"> [if field_project_image_teaser][get_pods_image pods_id="{@ID}"][/if] <div class="project-list-text"> [if field_project_name]<div class="field-project-name">{@field_project_name}</div>[/if] [if taxonomy_project_series]<div class="taxonomy-project-series">[get_field_label field="taxonomy_project_series"]: {@taxonomy_project_series}</div>[/if] [if field_project_client]<div class="field-project-client">[get_field_label field="field_project_client"]: {@field_project_client}</div>[/if] [if taxonomy_project_category]<div class="taxonomy-project-category">[get_field_label field="taxonomy_project_category"]: {@taxonomy_project_category}</div>[/if] [if field_project_date]<div class="field-project-date">[get_field_label field="field_project_date"]: {@field_project_date}</div>[/if] [if field_project_description]<div class="field-project-description">{@field}{@field_project_description}</div>[/if] </div> </a>

3. Integrating this pods list on any page or post type inside the wysiwyg area renders perfectly in the frontend, the custom shortcodes from 1) are rendered as expected:

[pods name="post_type_project" template="template_post_type_project_list"]

4. However, integrating the pods list in my custom archive.php like so:

<?php echo pods($post->post_type,$post->ID)->template('template_'.$post->post_type.'_list'); ?>

.... renders the custom shortcodes from 1) in plain text in the front end, ie [get_field_label field="field_project_client"] etc. Note: The content itself is rendered correctly.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Simply reproduce steps 1-4 above.

Hello @thomasavvion,

I believe Pods()->template(); doesn't apply shortcodes automatically.
Please try wrapping your template call in the do_shortcode() function from WP like so:

echo do_shortcode(
    pods( $post->post_type, $post->ID )->template( 'template_' . $post->post_type . '_list' )
);

Let me know if this helps!
