Hi,

I am trying to execute a shortcode via a hook. Using this shortcode works fine via Elements > Header. However Using the same shortcode via Elements > Hook is not working.

Execute Shortcodes is enabled and I only see the shortcode itself on the page: {{custom_field.description}}.

Settings:
Inside_side_container
Execute shortcode
Priority 1

Any suggestions to get this running?

Hi there,

That is template tag (not shortcode) which doesn't work in hooks.

You will need to use the method David explained here:

Hi Leo,

I used at the end this code, which is working perfectly well:
