Can Global Block shortcodes be used on the WP Admin Dashboard?

Quick question - Can Global Block shortcodes be used on the WP Admin Dashboard?

The idea is to render a customizable interface for content within the WP Admin Dashboard screen elements or via a hook.

Hi @mediaryte,

Thanks for reaching out.
Not sure what do you mean by WP Admin Dashboard here. If you trying to mean the Default Editor by that, you can use the Global Blocks shortcode into it as a normal shortcode.

Hope it helps.
Thanks

Hi Tristup,

I am actually referring to this area:

Will the Global Block shortcode render here if used within a function?

Hi @mediaryte,

We haven’t tried to display the Global Blocks inside the dashboard but ideally, it should be working if you use a function to display the Global Blocks in your dashboard. You need some custom coding to do that, please note that we can’t provide any customization because it is outside the scope of our theme support.

Hope that helps.
