Hey guys, I use the shortcode [year] in my title to display the current year. However when I added the plugin Contextual Related Posts – https://wordpress.org/plugins/contextual-related-posts/ my shortcodes are not working on the related posts grid.
Provided the examples in the private section.

Hi there,
Do you mean you add
[year]to the h1 headline?Can you show me the PHP code that was used to create the
[year]shortcode?Does the shortcode work in the content area via a shortcode block?
Let me know 🙂

Hey Ying,
THe shortcode is throughout the whole site. So if I mention the term [year] it will display the current year in the main content, Page title, Category Pages, etc.
I had the problem before where it wouldn’t appear in the category pages when posts were displayed but they fixed within that code.
PHP code for the shortcode is here: (also left in the private information)
Here’s the shortcode I currently have in the code snippets. PHP
function modify_post_title_shortcode( $title ) {
// Execute the shortcode and replace it with its output
$title = do_shortcode( $title );// Return the modified title
return $title;
}
add_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘modify_post_title_shortcode’ );Let me know if you need anything else!

Hi there,
you would need to speak to the Contextual Related Posts developers.
And ask if its possible for their plugin to render a shortcode in the title. -
Thanks David, I went through their support forum there (didn’t even know they had one) and saw this thread here https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-not-working-with-plugin/
Very simple step just adding the code
add_filter( ‘crp_title’, ‘do_shortcode’ );
Appreciate your support man!
