Convert HTML Script to Shortcode [closed]

by

Your JavaScript targets a HTML element with the id ‘banner_div’. So the first step is to output such an element in the shortcode.

add_shortcode( 'shortcode_name', function () {
    $out="<div id="banner_div'></div>';
    return $out;
} );

Now you need to save the JavaScript (everything between the <script> tags) as a file. This you can now enqueue which is a whole other question. Here’s a question about doing this with a widget.

I would go with:

wp_enqueue_script( 'unique-name', '/path/to/script.js,  array(), false, true);

What is going on here? Let me summarise for you.

  • Param 1 is a name for your script.
  • Param 2 is the URL for where-ever you put the script file.
  • Params 3 and 4 are not used in this example
  • Param 5 sets the script output to the footer so it runs after the widget div is on screen.
