All functions have to return a string, you should not use echo anywhere. Rewrite the functions, use an internal variable to handle the strings and return that: // Output a single menu item function projects_menu_entry($id, $title, $link_self) { global $blog_id; $out=””; if ($link_self || $id != $blog_id) { $out .= ‘<li>’; if ($id == $blog_id) … Read more
When using the_content(), WordPress will run several filters to process the text coming from the editor. These filters process the content before it is sent to the browser. do_shortcode is the filter that handles shortcodes. From /wp-includes/default-filters.php: // Shortcodes add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘do_shortcode’, 11 ); // AFTER wpautop() do_shortcode() is used to search content for shortcodes … Read more
There could be a couple ways to do this. Unfortunately, I don’t think any will result in exactly what you’re going for. ( [paragraph last] ) You could just create separate shortcodes for [paragraph_first] [paragraph_last] [paragraph_foobar] that handle $content without needing any attributes You could set the default value for last to false instead of … Read more
Define an array of parameters to be injected into the script: $script_params = array( ‘myWidth’ => get_option(‘my_width’) ); Localize the script via wp_localize_script: wp_localize_script( ‘your-script-handle’, ‘scriptParams’, $script_params ); scriptParams now is a js object you can access from within the script: alert( scriptParams.myWidth ); // the value from the PHP get_option call in the js
There is no filter that I know of that is meant to target individual shortcodes like you want. You can filter attributes with shortcode_atts_{$shortcode} though. You can hijack another shortcode by creating your own callback and registering it with the original shortcode slug. I think that is what you are probably going to need to … Read more
WP Ajax runs both public as well as closed calls via admin.php. This means that you don’t have access to the whole wp environment, such as do_shortcode(), which is inside /wp-includes/shortcodes.php. This still can get worked around (and as well for oEmbed). See the following example that you could use in your AJAX callback to … Read more
First off, this is very borderline within the scope of WPSE, it at all. Apart from the shortcode to trigger the initial HTML output, this is really just AJAX. Anyhow, that being said, this is how it’s done: The PHP Assuming that the above PHP snippet you supplied is functional, place the following in a … Read more
2 questions so 2 answers 🙂 Why is the current functions.php not working and adding styles to all pages? I’m not sure if it’s the global call or the if statement… It doesn’t work because of the order in which these functions are called. Your shortcode callback is called during rendering post content (most probably … Read more
Using a global variable will work. Here’s a demonstration: function wpse_shortcode_function( $atts ){ // User provided values are stored in $atts. // Default values are passed to shortcode_atts() below. // Merged values are stored in the $a array. $a = shortcode_atts( [ ‘id’ => false, ], $atts ); // Set global variable $value using value … Read more
There are a couple of things to check here One: Is your plugin activated. Two: Is your shortcode in your main plugin file. If that code is in another file inside your plugin, did you make sure to include that extra file into your main plugin file Three: Don’t you have any type of error … Read more
