Hi there - I'm starting a new thread since other was marked as solved without detailing how.
I need to add a shortcode to a CPT in the backend using a custom field that will then show on the front end. Is this possible?

ModeratorHi,
Thank you for reaching out.
Please follow this documentation to know how to use the shortcode
[ rwmb_meta ]

ParticipantHi Long - thanks for your quick response.
Let me clarify - I don't want to create a shortcode of the Meta Box custom field, I need to add an existing shortcode from another plugin (in this case to show a registration form on the front end).
Here's my workflow:
Create CPT > Add custom field for shortcode > copy/paste registration form shortcode into custom field > registration form is visible on the front end.If it matters, I'll be using Elementor to pull the custom fields to a template for the CPT.
Maybe there is a function I can add to my theme file to let me add shortcodes to the custom HTML field?
April 15, 2021 at 5:59 AM #27252ModeratorHi,
Thank you for your additional information.
If you want to insert a shortcode from another plugin, you can just use the widget Shortcode of Elementor to insert it, no need to insert via a custom field.
Or you can insert a shortcode via the field type WYSIWYG https://docs.metabox.io/fields/wysiwyg/

ParticipantHello Long.
I inserted in WYSIWYG-Field a shortcode from Plugin "Content Blocks (Custom Post Widget)".
But if i use rwmb_meta("acf-single-prod-summary-prolog") it outputs only the string of shortcode like this: [content_block slug=s-prod-summary-prolog-3dportrait]
I came from "acf", it had always worked there.
Hope there is a solution.
Thank you in advance

September 23, 2021 at 11:51 AM #30906ParticipantI've now noticed that there is a need to run an extra line of code.
echo do_shortcode( wpautop( $value ) )
I work with Oxygenbuilder's repeater element.
I have no way of executing this code in it.
Is there a way i can basically define the output as rendered, or do you have another idea?Thank you in advance

ParticipantHey there, is there any solution to this?
I have also migrated from ACF to MB and I can as well confirm that in ACF shortcodes as values were generated properly on front end. Now with Metabox, using similar settings, shortcode is generated as text on front end.[oxygen-template id="746"]: Label 1 [oxygen-template id="795"]: Label 2November 29, 2021 at 1:10 AM #32224ParticipantI switched back to ACF temporarily until there is an solution.
As you can see the support is bad here.
A pityNovember 29, 2021 at 1:41 AM #32225ParticipantAstwert, if it helps in any way, for one of my simple use cases (not in repeater) I'm applying a workaround to put all possible shortcodes inside oxy template and make use of MetabBox fields for display conditions. It's a pain but it works.
@MetaBox, any guidance (or better yet a properly integrated solution to this) would be highly appreciated.
November 29, 2021 at 12:57 PM #32233ModeratorHi friends,
As you can read on the documentation, the helper shortcode
[rwmb_meta]supports rendering the inner shortcode inside the field value. You need to set the attributerender_shortcodetotrue.

ParticipantYup, '[rwmb_meta id="seo_text" render_shortcode="true" raw="true"]' renders TablePress shortcodes for example.
