Cornerstone not rendering shortcode correctly -> cookie problem

[TristanP]

Hi. I use an awesome membership plugin called Activemember360, that, in together with Pro, basically let me do magic.

Activemember360 uses shortcodes, which normally work just fine with the Pro builder, if I put them anywhere in either text elements, or content (or classic raw content) blocks.

However, I am now running into an issue with one, where apparently Pro doesn’t render the shortcode as expected. This is a shortcode to set a cookie. the shortcode is [mbr_cookie set some_variable=‘some value for the variable’].

As I said, all shortcodes typically work fine with Pro. However, this shortcode - instead of what it is supposed to do, set a cookie, now renders on the front end of the site as (<:=mbr_cookie_set1 name=‘some_variable’ value=‘some value for the variable’ expires=‘3600’=:>) and does NOT set the cookie.

If i put the shortcode in a Gutenberg HTML block on an otherwise empty page, it works as intended.

Any thoughts?

Hi Tristan,

Thanks for reaching out.

May I know to which element you’re adding this? The ActiveMember plugin could be using a find/search shortcode when executing its shortcode which may not accessible through v2 elements, hence, it’s best adding them to classic element. But, I like to test it as well, would you mind providing the site’s URL and admin login credentials in the secure note?

This is a 3rd party plugin, if it happens to be using a non-standard way of calling shortcodes then I may not able to provide solutions. Standard shortcodes works well in the builder, and that standard is based on Wordpress. It will work on other empty editor like Gutenberg since it doesn’t have any structure that wraps it.

Thanks!
