WP REST API rendered output & Visual Composer

Visual Composer shortcodes are normally not converted within the WordPress REST API rendered output.

This can be accomplished by calling WPBMap::addAllMappedShortcodes();

add_action( 'rest_api_init', function ()

{
   register_rest_field(

          'page',

          'content',

          array(

                 'get_callback'    => 'convert_do_shortcodes',

                 'update_callback' => null,

                 'schema'          => null,

          )

       );


});

 

function convert_do_shortcodes( $object, $field_name, $request )

{
   WPBMap::addAllMappedShortcodes(); // This does all the work

 
   global $post;

   $post = get_post ($object['id']);

   $output['rendered'] = apply_filters( 'the_content', $post->post_content );

 
   return $output;

}
