shortcodes in post body

@webguyx

So is that shortcode one of the fields you want to use in the main post body?

well all the other html i’ve put in the post body is showing up

but i want it to actually print

[this] (rather than what “this” is)

even if i change [ to [ and ” to " no luck.

@webguyx

So what does the shortcode meant to do?

Is it just a merge tag from the form or something else?

it is something like

[this] content for these [/this]
[notthis] content for those [/notthis]

from another plugin

@webguyx

So which plugin are they coming from?

affiliatewp, here’s the block for starters:

[affiliate_info_referred] you’ve been credited $25 towards your first purchase by [affiliate_info_name] ([affiliate_info_email])
[/affiliate_info_referred]
[affiliate_info_not_referred] oops [/affiliate_info_not_referred]

@webguyx

So are the AffiliateWP fields being stored in the users profile as user meta fields?

@webguyx

You could also look at using this method.

i believe it’s a cookie that determines whether someone see the info on the page or not.

here’s the problem

i put <div id=”perk”>[do_widget id=text-20]</div>

and it renders as <div id=”perk”>& # 0 9 1 ;do_widget id=text-20 & # 0 9 3 ;</div> (without the spaces of course)

how about this… when creating the page, how would i go about setting the sidebar that belongs to that page?
