I have a simple function, which returns the content of a page with the given pageID:
function get_page_content(){
$id = $_REQUEST['id'];
$page_data = get_page($id);
echo apply_filters('the_content', $page_data->post_content);
//echo do_shortcode($page_data -> post_content);
wp_die();
}
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_get_page_content', 'get_page_content' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_get_page_content', 'get_page_content' );
But after an Update of WP and some Plugins the returned content still containes unresolved shortcodes like so:
[vc_row row_type=“row“ use_row_as_full_screen_section=“no“ type=“grid“ text_align=“left“ background_image_as_pattern=“without_pattern“][vc_column width=“1/1″]
The shortcodes come from a Plugin called Visual Composer (which got updated in the process to the latest version)
Question:
How can i render the shortcodes befor i return the content?
I tried both
echo apply_filters('the_content', $page_data->post_content);
and
echo do_shortcode($page_data -> post_content);
