Short Code Registration & Gutenberg

What is the best way to register a short code with Woodmart.

I am trying to create short code to use in the Product Layout template that will display and image or a video via ACF that my team will use.

In order to test I create a simple shortcode that outputs a string.

add_shortcode('shortcode_test', 'display_shortcode_test');
function display_shortcode_test() {
    // Restrict to single product pages only
    if (!is_singular('product')) {
        return '';
    }

    // Return test string
    return 'Short Code Test';
}

I then use the Gutenberg short code block on the Single Product Layout from Woodmart with the following [shortcode_test].

However on the front end its just displays plain text: [shortcode_test]

its almost as if its not registering it.

I am using the lates Woodmart with a child theme.

Thanks

Hi copacetic ,

Thanks for reaching to us.

Please refer to this article for more details https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-a-shortcode-in-wordpress/

Regards,

I followed the article above and nothing works. The shortcode just gets printed to the page. See attached image.

Basically I am trying to add a custom pixel to my checkout page and it does not work. I tried in my checkout page. I also wanted to the same in my Single Product Layout page. Nothing.

I added credentials below for you to check out on my staging site.

Its strange becuase the checkout page is just the standard Woo checkout and that is just a shortcode.
However, if I add my shortcode it just prints out the shortcode to the page.

Im running the latest version of Woodmart with the Furniture 2 import.

I have a simple test shortcode in functions. I also created a separate plug in that outputs and nothing.
