A shortcode is the wrong way to go about this. Shortcodes are for outputting content, not handing things like redirects. What we need to do is: Create a rewrite rule for the /random/ URL that will trigger the redirect. When the /random/ URL is visited, get a random post/page/product/ and redirect to its URL with … Read more
A shortcode should only ever return content, never echo it. The bits between the ?> and <?php tags — the <script> tags and the rest — are effectively being echoed to the browser, which means that the JSON content that Gutenberg expects is no longer valid. From the add_shortcode() docs: Note that the function called … Read more
You need to use hooks to create custom columns and data for a custom post type are manage_{$post_type}posts_columns and manage{$post_type}_posts_custom_column respectively. {$post_type} is the name of the custom post type. I have created common function to add column and and their data. You can use below function to add column and it’s data. function cv_add_column_to_admin_dashboard($column_title, … Read more
You can’t return the include statement. And you shouldn’t use include template parts. And here’s how to do it correctly: function custom_code() { ob_start(); get_template_part( ‘custom-template.php’ ); return ob_get_clean(); } add_shortcode( ‘custom_shortcode’, ‘custom_code’ ); So what we’re doing here is: Start output buffering. Include given template part using get_template_part function. Return all the output generated … Read more
The shortcode generation should output a string, so that should in theory be possible if you know and trust the shortcode’s output. But many shortcodes are generated with the front-end in mind and within the loop context, so the mail context might not always work though, if they depend on conditional checks like is_single(). There … Read more
The best way to add the shortcode is to create a shortcode in your child theme functiuons.php file. function footag_func( $atts ) { //Example return “foo = {$atts[‘foo’]}”; } add_shortcode( ‘footag’, ‘footag_func’ ); You can refer to this document for WordPress shortcodes detail https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_shortcode
[display-posts] is not a default shortcode that’s included in the WordPress software. It is, however, part of the WordPress.com hosted service. You can read more about the differences between the two here. So the reason the shortcode is not working is because you don’t have a WordPress.com hosted site (I can tell because .com would … Read more
If a child theme does not have a file (i.e. page.php), WordPress looks in the parent theme for that file. That’s much of the reason for how child themes exist – to override specific content of the parent, but not to override anything else. So in this case you are wanting to add an additional … Read more
I want the $icon variable to become the value of icon attribute of custom-link I set: If I understood your question correctly, this is what you want, function custom_link($atts, $custom_title) { include “PATH_TO_YOUR_PHP_FILE_CONTAINING_ICON_VARS”; $url = $atts[‘url’]; $color = $atts[‘color’]; $icon = $atts[‘icon’]; $icon = $$icon; // $$icon is $icon_paypal return ‘<a class=”button-round custom-link” style=”background-color: ‘ … Read more
I’m not sure, if it is the root of the problem, but the thing that I noticed is that your code ends up calling get_post_meta quite many times (64? 8 loops within 8 loops, yes?) for the same post. Perhaps you could get all of the post meta just once, before the for loop. Then … Read more
