Inspired by this video which showcases how to dynamically replace content in WordPress using ACF, I wanted to implement something similar but for those of us using Jet Engine.

This simple code snippet makes it possible. Just drop it into your functions.php, and you'll be able to insert dynamic placeholders directly into your content, just like in the video. For instance, creating dynamic mailto links becomes as easy as mailto:{{page-slug::mail}}.

Usage:

To display any Jet Engine Option Page value in your content:

1. Use the format {{page-slug::value}}.
2. Replace page-slug with the slug of your Jet Engine Option Page.
3. Replace value with the name/ID of the desired option.

Note: Please ensure your page slugs and option names avoid using :: as it's designated as the delimiter. Currently, this code functions within content only. Any solutions for the Footer and Header are appreciated! :-)
