how to use shordcodes in Author-Description

I would like to add certain shortcode elements to my author box.

i found the text to be within a class “td-author-description”
which I only found in the loop-single.php

when I edit loop-single.php to show an extra header2 “test-header” and then do_shortcode I do not get any result. All Caching plugins are removed, I re-read the page with Ctrl-F5 and dont take it from browser-cache as well as I tried it with mobile & ipad. How would you suggest I can add shortcodes to author-box


<div class="td-author-description"><h2>test-header</h2>
<?php echo esc_html(do_shortcode("xxx" . get_the_author_meta('description', $author_id))) ?>
</div>


tx a lot, very very helpful! Now I know why searching for the class-describers didn’t find the right function file, you have a tremendous amount of functionality in the plugins! Sneaky !!!

just for s.o. else who also wants to have shortcodes in Author part:

1052 line-Number
$buffy .= ‘<div class=”td-author-description”>’;
$buffy .= do_shortcode(get_the_author_meta(‘description’, $author_id));
$buffy .= ‘</div>’;

Update for newspaper 11 – Shortcodes in AUTHOR-Box

…. plugins/td-cloud-libary/shortcodes/single/tdb_single_author_box.php

edit almost last line 576

return do_shortcode($buffy);

then the same on td-cloud-libary/shortcodes/author/tdb_author_box.php or author_description (I changed both)

Here the HOW TO USE ShortCodes for COMMENTS

to keep website neat and clean I want to toggle (accordion) the comments.

so edit file:

/clickandbuilds/Ganzemedizin/wp-content/plugins/td-cloud-library/shortcodes/single/tdb_single_comments.php

almost last line where $buffy is returned and change it to

return do_shortcode('[toggle title=" view comments or write a comment "]' . $buffy . '[/toggle]');
