Hello.
When i place a WP shortcode (from other plugins) inside a post and nothing else, there a big empty space above it.
At first i thought it was a specific shortcode from a plugin but it seems that every shortcode is behaving the same.
See the capture for clear example.
Any ideas much appreciated. Thanks
Hi @anonymous20,
This happens because the do_shortcode() function starts when you insert a shortcode into the mail content.
You can disable WordPress Shortcodes in Post Content option from Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Feature admin page, or use some additional symbols with the shortcode. e.g. the ' symbol.
'['shortcode']'
Hi Robert,
Why disable the shortcode ? I need it !! Or i missed what you mean ?
Also doing this
'['shortcode']'
seems to disable the shortcode ?
Also you mention "mail", i don't use it in any mail. I use it in a Forum Post.
This may be a simple CSS issue, please leave a direct URL to such a post.
