This is a basis of the shortcode to be placed in your functions.php or custom plugin. You will need to edit it to fit your needs: //Shortcode function can be called whatever you want function merchantname_shortcode( $atts ) { $atts = shortcode_atts( array( //Creates a arg “merchantname” with no default value. //To use this arg … Read more
Your code is badly broken. You start a function definition but never finish it. There is no associated } to end the function. You start an if conditional and never close it. You start a while loop and never close it. Those are why your page won’t load with that code. You are getting a … Read more
Shortcodes should return their HTML, not output it. You need to reorgenize your shorcode code to do that. You get some correct output just by luck now, if you were testing with actual content you would have seen that your code outputs at the wrong place.
…ajax calls can’t show shortcodes because of the admin ajax url that they dont have full access to wordpress enviorment Not true. AJAX calls have exactly the same resources at their disposal as regular WordPress requests. Just make sure to parse the content in the same way the_content() does: $parsed_content = apply_filters( ‘the_content’, $post->post_content ); … Read more
What you want is to use shortcode attributes. I Googled “wordpress shortcode attributes” and found the sample code below in the WP Codex // [bartag foo=”foo-value”] function bartag_func( $atts ) { $a = shortcode_atts( array( ‘foo’ => ‘something’, ‘bar’ => ‘something else’, ), $atts ); return “foo = {$a[‘foo’]}”; } add_shortcode( ‘bartag’, ‘bartag_func’ ); You … Read more
As already said in comments, do not ever use extract(). It’s use was removed from core a few years ago. The codex was also cleaned up. The use of extract() is even discouraged in PHP. You can rewrite your attributes as follow: (NOTE: Requires PHP 5.4+) $attributes = shortcode_atts( [ ‘posts’ => -1, ‘order’ => … Read more
I think you are looking for this- function star_rating( $atts ) { $max = 5; $atts = shortcode_atts( array( ‘grade’ => $max, // default ), $atts ); $star_icons=””; $full_star = floor( $atts[‘grade’] ); for( $i=1; $i<=$full_star; $i++ ) { $star_icons .= ‘<i class=”fa fa-star”></i>’; } $half_star = 0; if( (int) $atts[‘grade’] != $atts[‘grade’] ){ $half_star … Read more
I tested following code and it worked just fine for me: function my_name_shortcode( $atts ) { return “<h3>PRASAD</h3>”; } add_shortcode( ‘name’, ‘my_name_shortcode’ ); add_filter( “the_excerpt_rss”, “do_shortcode” ); The result can be seen in below screenshot.
This happens when there is echoed output from the shortcode rather than the result being returned… I’d wager nt_course_note_entry_field likely echoes rather than returns. If there is one – or you can create one) – use a similar function like nt_get_course_note_entry_field that does not echo. If you can’t change the function you can wrap it … Read more
As you are using URLs from oEmbed provides (YouTube, Vimeo, Soundcloud, etc), I would use wp_oembed_get() function. This function uses oEmbed and tries to get the embed HTML of the provided URL. $embed = wp_oembed_get( $some_url ); if( $embed ) { echo $embed; } else { // The embed HTML couldn’t be fetched }
