Parsing Shortcode within Image Descrption

    Hello NGG Team!

    I remember reading about this years ago and cannot seem to find the topic.

    I would like to use a shortcode such as [hello] which will display a button based on the gallery type (done by the shortcode).

    I have tried to add this shortcode within the descrption of an image but it does not seem to parse, just displays as text. I have also tried the php echo do_shortcode route but does not work either.

    Years ago, I remember there was a function.php snippet to be added to allow NGG to permit parsing of shortcodes within the description of the images, did you still have this code snippet?

    Thanks heaps!

    You can use do_shortcode to create a gallery based on a NextGen Gallery shortcode.

    Here is an example of how to include an album display of our Album id “3”.

    Code:

    $shortcode = do_shortcode('[ngg src="albums" ids=“3" display="basic_compact_album"]');
echo apply_filters('the_content', $shortcode);

    Hello, Thanks for your comment, sorry for the misunderstanding, I meant as in the shortcode within the description of the image itself.

    Unfortunately, NextGen wouldn’t allow parsing shortcodes withing the image’s Description field.
