Well you need to make sure that the ‘Allow Shortcode’ checkbox is ticked in your slider settings.
And probably not all shortcodes will work within slide content – most do from my testing, but I did once encounter an issue with using shortcodes within slide anything for a certain page builder product (cannot remember which one) – using shortcodes in this way you end up with multiple tiers of shortcodes:
– tier 1 is your page builder shortcodes
– tier 2 is your slide anything shortcode
– tier 3 is your 3rd party plugin shortcode
So that’s why this option is disabled by default as there is always a possibility of this introducing issues.
