displaying pages containing wordpress shortcode

Question

I wrote a shortcode for wordpress to display wordpress posts and pages. Displaying posts is fine but when I try to display pages, it goes on infinitely. I guess one of the pages contains the shortcode and hence it displays recursively. Can anyone suggest me the solution for this. As to how I can prevent short code from being executed while displaying ?

Answer 1

not totally sure if I understand correctly. Maybe you just need to have the shortcode run not from a page but in a template php file.

otherwise you will need to exclude that page from being displayed in your shortcode manually, is it a plugin you are working with?
