Timeout issue with apply_filters('the_content', $content);

[zetokore]

If I throw a shortcode in the Visual Editor, i.e.

[callout]MY CONTENT[/callout]

And if I'm doing this with that shortcode's content:

<?php echo apply_filters('the_content', $content); ?>

The page time's out.

If I replace this:

<?php echo apply_filters('the_content', $content); ?>

With this:

<?php echo $content; ?>

it resolves the issue, but I need that content filtered. :)

Just to confirm, do not get this issue when Page Builder is deactivated?
Also, where are you getting that shortcode from? Is it from a plugin or
have you custom coded it?

That's right, if I have the Page Builder deactivated and paste my shortcode into the standard visual editor it works fine. The shortcode is custom coded, I've stripped everything out from it, the shortcode below exhibits the bug:

function callout( $atts, $content = null ) {

    if(has_filter('callout'))
        return apply_filters('callout', $atts, $content);

    extract(shortcode_atts(array(), $atts));
    ob_start();

    apply_filters('the_content', $content);

    $output_string = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    return $output_string;
}
add_shortcode('callout', 'callout');

I can see how that would cause an infinite loop. I'll take a look at that
when I'm back at my office and see if I can figure anything out.

One fairly simple fix would be to remove the Page Builder filters on
the_content and readd them afterwards. That's a bit of a hack though. I'd
rather try see if I can get Page Builder itself to deal with this situation.

I don't suppose you could suggest a simple hack to work around this issue in the meantime?

I had the same conflict between my plugin Modal -Portfolio and Page Builder.

This is the alternative that works:
wpautop(get_post_field('post_content', $post->id));
(It should perhaps change $post->id depending on your configuration)

The cause of this conflict is simple : it is not possible to use apply_filters function in another apply_filters function (already used by Page Builder).

As apply_filters() function uses the wpautop() function to add line breaks, just use this function to solve the problem with any displaying function for the content. :-)

Note: I'm French, sorry for my bad English ...

Thanks for the input @Internet-Formation That's a good suggestion.

@SteveS123 You can also take a look at the default-filters.php file and apply only the filters you need. Otherwise the editor will try to process your shortcode over and over again. Hope that helps.
