When WordPress displays post content, it’s not running do_shortcode() on the post content, it’s running apply_filters( ‘the_content’, $content ). Shortcode filters are applied on the_content filter, which is why you have to add extra filters to get them to work in widgets or the footer or elsewhere.
Since WordPress 3.6+ There is a function to print out all the media in the content. get_media_embedded_in_content();
As above, https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/195673/22728 solved it: add_filter( ‘wp_kses_allowed_html’, function ( $allowedposttags, $context ) { if ( $context == ‘post’ ) { $allowedposttags[‘input’][‘value’] = 1; } return $allowedposttags; }, 10, 2 );
Your ploblem is that wp_localize_script print to the html markup a javascript object similar to: var slider = {“id”:”a_unique_id_here”}; if you call it more times, e.g. using more shortcodes in same page, whati is printend in html markup is var slider = {“id”:”a_unique_id_here”}; var slider = {“id”:”another_unique_id_here”}; var slider = {“id”:”third_unique_id_here”}; so you are overwriting … Read more
Yes, you should use wp_enqueue_script(). The script will be loaded in the footer (action: wp_footer()). Just once. To inspect the order of available hooks, functions etc. per request try my plugin T5 WP Load Order.
Try this. Add the code below to your functions.php file – add_shortcode(‘cat_description’, ‘my_cat_description_shortcode’); function my_cat_description_shortcode($atts){ $a = shortcode_atts( array( ‘id’ => 0, ), $atts ); return category_description($a[‘id’]); } Should you wish to call the shortcode from a template (unnecessary really unless you add more to the shortcode) you can use this code – <?php echo … Read more
When you look at how do_shortcode() actually works, then it’s this: do_shortcode( $content ) Where $content is defined as the following: (string) Content to search for shortcodes What you are trying to do is to echo what the shortcode does, leading to a false assumption. There is no magic function discovering your shortcode. The shortcode … Read more
Here is the simplest shortcode that will do the job for you add_shortcode(‘USER_META’, ‘user_meta_shortcode_handler’); /** * User Meta Shortcode handler * usage: [USER_META user_id=1 meta=”first_name”] * @param array $atts * @param string $content * @return stirng */ function user_meta_shortcode_handler($atts,$content=null){ return esc_html(get_user_meta($atts[‘user_id’], $atts[‘meta’], true)); } USAGE: [USER_META user_id=1 meta=”first_name”] [USER_META user_id=1 meta=”last_name”]
here is a handy function i use a lot which is based on the_posts hook function check_for_shortcode($posts) { if ( empty($posts) ) return $posts; $flag = false; foreach ($posts as $post) { if ( stripos($post->post_content, ‘[YOUR_SHORTCODE_HERE’) ) $flag = true; break; } if ($flag){ //add scripts and styles here eg: //wp_enqueue_script //wp_enqueue_style } return $posts; … Read more
