A shortcode has to return just a string, you should not print something like in wp_list_pages() or echo. From Shortcode API: The return value of a shortcode handler function is inserted into the post content output in place of the shortcode macro. Remember to use return and not echo – anything that is echoed will … Read more
Store each field the user creates as an array in a post meta field, the array would contain the name and a reference to the field type. You could also store additional data within the array, like if it’s required and the type of validation to apply.
If you were to enable debugging and test the code (not sure why you are reluctant to do that), you would see that there are problems with the code. Your array elements need to be separated by commas and PHP variables begin with $. What you have won’t work as is. That kind of pure … Read more
You could use it like [form id=”abc123″] where the value of id is the meta_value. You could generate the shortcode so the user can easily copy/paste it into the editor. Or even have a custom made button in the editor to insert it. You can check how it’s done in other plugins like Contact Form … Read more
Not sure if is this, but you can add taxonomies in query: new WP_Query(array(‘posts_per_page’ => $num, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,’taxonomy’ => $taxonomy)); You can filter by term with $taxonomy => $term: $taxonomy = ‘seasons’; $term = ‘spring’ /* $terms = array(‘summer’,’winter’) an array */ new WP_Query(array(‘posts_per_page’ => $num, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,$taxonomy => $term)); More on WP_Query … Read more

You should have the function defining the shortcode in your custom theme too. Look for the add_shortcode function in your default theme and add the add_shortcode line and it’s callback function to your theme’s functions.php file.
Excerpts remove all mark-up and shortcodes. Try adding the following into your functions.php: add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘do_shortcode’); This should enable shortcodes in your excerpt again. Bear in mind the generated HTML5 will be stripped out.
Put the script into an external file, set the selector there and enqueue it from your shortcode: if(! function_exists (‘aisis_toc’) ) { function aisis_toc() { if ( ! is_singular() ) return; wp_enqueue_script( ‘jquery-toc’, plugins_url( ‘js/jquery-toc.js’, __FILE__ ), array ( ‘jquery’ ), NULL, TRUE); return; } }
If this works for you in the template: $s=”[cfdb-table form=”Contact form 1″ show=”Submitted Login,your-email,your-message” search=”AndrewA”]”; echo do_shortcode($s); then you could try: global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); $s = sprintf(‘[cfdb-table form=”Contact form 1″ show=”Submitted Login,your-email,your-message” search=”%s”]’,$current_user->display_name); echo do_shortcode($s);
