Extra paragraph tags in an enclosing shortcode

OK, it seems someone has trod this path and there is in fact…. shortcode_unautop() Job Done. It looks elegant in the editor and works in the output.

Random post + categories + tags

You had it right with categories, just do the same for tags (using get_term_link instead) – better yet, use the core WordPress functions that automatically generate a list of category/tag links: function random_post_shortcode( $atts ) { $posts = get_posts( array( ‘numberposts’ => 1, ‘category_name’ => ! empty( $atts[‘category_name’] ) ? $atts[‘category_name’] : null, ‘orderby’ => … Read more

As was pointed out by Michael, I had been missing the wp_head() and wp_footer() functions. To anyone who might be in the same boat as I, you can have a look at the function references here (head) and here (footer). Thank you, to anyone who took their time to help me out, even if all … Read more
