Cool,
Thank you for the reply. I was looking to use postloop to help my forum get started, but I guess I can’t. Still, really good plugin, nicely done.

NVM, This plugin is not dead. still going strong.

@incredibleanand No, I ended up creating a new editable section on the Homepage template where I added my shortcodes.

Hi Evan,
I have actually just ran into this problem, I have tried replacing

// get_the_content format text
function skt_white_get_the_content_format( $str ){
	$raw_content = apply_filters( 'skt_white_the_content', $str );
	$content = str_replace( ']]>', ']]>', $raw_content );
	return $content;
}

in the functions.php with you suggested

// get_the_content format text
function skt_white_get_the_content_format( $str ){
     return apply_filters( 'skt_white_the_content', $str );
}

But I was still unable to use shortcodes inside the section areas of the SKT-white theme. The page shows the shortcode as it is “[shortcode]”. Do you have any suggestion?

Hi Evan,

We are aware of it. But we can’t update the theme as WordPress theme review team has changed and made compulsory to use customizer instead of using theme options.

So even if we want to change it we can’t because that would mean breaking 10,000+ sites which use this theme and then making it as per rules of new WordPress theme and also porting all data into customizer which won’t be possible as well as per new rules.

Thanks again for pointing this out anyways.

I understand that changing this would break many websites already using the theme. Is there a workaround for users of your theme who want to use shortcodes inside the section areas on the front page? I really like the theme, but I also need to explore its potential.
Thank you
