Shortcode [wp_eStore:product_id:1:end] not working in Custom Fields

[Jared]

I tried other shortcodes, ones specifically that didn’t have a ‘:’ in them ([wp_eStore_fancy1 id=1] for example), and they would display in the post div. I checked my Custom Fields Template settings, and I didn’t see any option to enable certain characters. Using [wp_eStore:product_id:1:end] or [wp_eStore_buy_now:product_id:1:end] would only display that function as text in the div. Is there something else I need to enable or is it another issue?

I forgot to mention I’m using WP 3.1 with all updated plugins.

The [wp_eStore:product_id:1:end] and [wp_eStore_buy_now:product_id:1:end] shortcodes were implemented pre WordPress 2.5 time frame when WordPress didn’t have the shortcodes API that is now does. So those shortcodes are implemented using a filtering technique and doesn’t work in your custom field.

I am in the process of slowly adding the proper shortcode version of the older shortcodes (need to keep backwards compatibility). I will add the following shortcode to the plugin which will replace [wp_eStore:product_id:1:end]

[wp_eStore_add_to_cart id=1]

The following shortcode will replace [wp_eStore_buy_now:product_id:1:end]

[wp_eStore_buy_now_button id=1]

Download a new build of eStore in about 6-8 hours from now and you should have these new shortcodes ready:
