Enable the use of shortcodes in Header Menu items

By default, we do not have this option. You can use the following function code. Please see the steps below:

Note: Make sure to have a complete site backup before proceeding

1. Go to Appearance > Theme Editor.

2. Under Select theme to edit, choose (BuddyBoss Child/whatever theme is active), then click Select.

3. Below Theme Files, select Theme Functions (functions.php).

4. Append the code just before the closing PHP tag “?>”:

/** * Enable shortcodes for menu navigation. */ if ( ! has_filter( 'wp_nav_menu', 'do_shortcode' ) ) { add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu', 'shortcode_unautop' ); add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu', 'do_shortcode', 11 ); }

5. Click Update File to save the changes. 

6. Go to WordPress Admin > Appearance > Menus and add a shortcode to a menu item’s navigation label.

7. Save Menu.
