The only problem with shortcodes is they only render to your blog not to the timeline. So you can end up with a post with no real context like this one. @manton I'm guessing this is by design?

It looks like the RSVP plugin does render to the timeline, I guess it just depends. Hmmm

@shindakun @manton Unfortunately, the timeline won't render iframes or JavaScript. But there's hope! 😊 Make sure there's a nice fallback to supported HTML elements, and your shortcode should work just fine.

For example, your Bandcamp shortcode could output a link right below the iframe integration.

C​:​\​>COPY *.* A: /V by MASTER BOOT RECORD on Bandcamp

@shindakun There's a bug where shortcodes aren't immediately processed in the timeline, but it should then refresh with the correct final post. I'll get that fixed.

@shindakun Sorry, ignore my last reply. I misunderstood the problem... What @sod said is exactly right.

Ahhh that makes perfect sense. Thanks @sod!

@shindakun short codes generally work, but embeds sometimes won’t.
