I believe the issue is that in the shortcode you don’t actually have access to the global $post object. You could switch out your WP_Query with a get_posts() that returns an array. You could use get_the_ID();. You could call global $post at the top of your shortcode function. The problem is that global $post is … Read more
I think you are having syntax errors in the shortcode like missing single quotes.Please check the code properly.
extract( shortcode_atts( ‘post_type’ => ‘publications_test’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’ ‘id’ => ”, ); The above is wrong. You have an array inside that function but it’s not in an actual array. Try this instead: extract( shortcode_atts(array( ‘post_type’ => ‘publications_test’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘id’ => ”, ), $atts, ‘testshortcode’); shortcode atts
You should not echo any content in your shortcode. the_weekday() function echos the date. You can use output buffering or directly get the date: Output buffering: function custom_shortcode() { ob_start(); the_weekday(); $week = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); return ‘<img src=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/wp-content/themes/coworker/images/daily-social-image-” . $week . ‘.gif” width=”100%” />’; } add_shortcode( ‘weekday’, ‘custom_shortcode’ ); Or use the global $wp_locale to … Read more
I want my shortcodes and JS libraries to remain in place no matter if the theme updates, wordpress updates, or I change themes completely. Normally the suitable place for such in WP would be a plugin or as variation of must use plugin. More elaborate site might also use some other (generic PHP) methods, such … Read more
This happens because of the order of execution of your WordPress page. In your code it goes like this: At init, which is early in the generation process of the page, you are registering the scripts. That is, you are telling WP that you want to use these later on. No html is generated. At … Read more
All you need to do is to write a shortcode add wrap a function around it: function get_post_details($atts) { // Get the shortcode’s attributes $atts = shortcode_atts( array( ‘post’ => 0, ), $atts, ‘get-post-details’ ); // Fetch the ID from $atts array $id = $atts[‘post’]; // Stop the shortcode if no ID is set if … Read more
UPDATE Seems like the shortcode you’re trying to use is not well coded. If they use it somewhere in the templates alone like echo do_shortcode(‘[share]’); it doesn’t really matter since the ‘[share]’ is the only content passed to do_shortcode(). In your case you’re trying to reuse the shortcode in a context where it’s placed among … Read more
You’re missing semicolons after </li>, </ul>, and $output. You also shouldn’t be echoing inside string concatenation and not adding the <li> tag to $output. The below is your code with these fixes. function allphotos_shortcode(){ $images = get_field(‘fl_gallery’); if( $images ) { $output .= ‘<ul>’; foreach( $images as $image ) : $output .= ‘<li><a href=”‘ . … Read more
Folowing on Milo’s comment, do_shortcode expects the parameter to be exactly as if it is a shortcode inserted as part of the content, therefor your attempt to quote avatar_upload is just wrong and it should be do_shortcode(‘[avatar_upload]’); In addition it is probably better to just avoid using do_shortcode and call the relevant official API, if … Read more
