Hello,

I have clonable grouped metaboxes containing WYSIWYG meta boxes. I'd like to use shortcodes inside the WYSIWYG meta boxes, however, I have been unable to get this to work.

I realize shortcodes are meant to be used either in the_content or hardcoded outside of it, however, if it is possible to use them inside of meta boxes, I'd like to know how.

Hi,

If you put a shortcode in WYSIWYG field, you need to render it automatically. Here is a thread on Github about that. Briefly, you need to use this code in the frontend:

<?php echo do_shortcode( rwmb_meta( 'field_id' ) ); ?>
