Component Insertion

I’ve got an archive page template where I pull the description into a dynamic text element. I’ve got a situation where I need to insert a button into the copy and figured I’d be able to drop in the component short code. I do, but it doesn’t work at all. Any tips on how, or if this can be accomplished? I can create a new field for this but was hoping not to since this is an isolated incident.

Hello @dabigcheeze,

Thanks for writing in! Using the component shortcode in a Text element should display the component. Do you have any conditions in your component?

Before I provide the secure access, I realized I may have glossed over something in my initial post. The component insert is being placed inside a category description, which is then pulled into a text element. The taxonomy category description accepts html so I figured it would also accept your component short codes.

Hello @dabigcheeze,

Even if a field accepts HTML, it does not mean that it will accept and render a shortcode. It is best that you added the component using the Component element or as a shortcode inside a Text element.

Best Regards.
