Neither are correct. Just use show_foo(): <?php echo show_foo(); ?> The only reason to ever use shortcodes is to insert dynamic content into a page or post from within the editor (Although, these days the ‘proper’ way to do that would be with a block, although that’s more difficult). Shortcodes should not be used for … Read more
well, it turned out not to be an issue with tiny mce at all, rather php DOMdocument that was filtering tinyMCE’s output, interpreted in the wrong charset, then passing garbage characters to the page. Fun!
The second parameter of your shortcode function is the content. So rewrite the function: function shortcode_call_to_action( $attributes = NULL, $content=”” ) { $stylesheetdir = get_bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); if ( ” === $content ) { // use a default text if there is no content $content=”default text”; } return “<div id=’call_to_action’> <img src=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/58438/$stylesheetdir/images/call_to_action.jpg” alt=”” /> <p>$content</p>”; } If … Read more
You can’t put AJAX into the callback for a shortcode. It doesn’t make any sense to. If you’re making an AJAX request then you’re making it on the front-end and the shortcode has already rendered. So anything you do with the response to the AJAX request needs to occur on the front-end. So what you … Read more
There are multiple ways to accomplish this. I’m showing you a way that will not fundamentally change how you are doing it: First in My_Plugin class: class My_Plugin { // … private function define_public_hooks() { $plugin_public = new My_Plugin_Public( $this->get_plugin_name(), $this->get_version() ); $this->loader->add_action( ‘init’, $plugin_public, ‘init’ ); // … } // … } Then in … Read more
There are different ways to get the result. You can use a class, store the div content in a class or instance variable and output it when needed. As alternative you can use a function with a static variable, to hold the content. I’ll use this second alternative, converting it in a class is an … Read more
so I would like to execute a filter or something that works on every shortcode Looks like you’re after do_shortcode_tag. It “Filters the output created by a shortcode callback.”. Aurovrata Venet gives a demo usage similar to: add_filter( ‘do_shortcode_tag’,function ($output, $tag, $attr){ //make sure it is the right shortcode if(‘aShortcode’ != $tag){ return $output; } … Read more
You can also use output buffering to catch all output you generate. Use it like following: function fl_aries_co_today_shortcode() { global $wpdb; $results = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT horoscope FROM wpaa_scope_co WHERE date = CURDATE() AND sign = ‘aries'”); ob_start(); foreach($results as $r) { echo “”.$r->horoscope.””; } $content = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); return $content; } add_shortcode( ‘fl_aries_co_today’,’fl_aries_co_today_shortcode’ );
As Milo indicated: functions.php is a file within your current theme, not the functions.php file in wp-includes. There’s nothing wrong with your code as-is as long as it’s in a file that’s actually being loaded at the correct time. Addressing your other question from the comments, yes, this code can be wrapped up into a … Read more
Try switching to a different theme (such as 2012) and back to this theme again. Some times caching plugins and some hosting environments can cause issues.
