WP-Table Reloaded is a great plugin which allows you to create tables and use their shortcodes in your post. Bear in mind, however, that not all themes are “table-friendly”. Alternatively, you can try Dean’s FCKeditor Plugin For WordPress, which appears to have an “Insert Table” function to keep you from messing around with HTML. And … Read more
You need to use do_shortcode built in WordPress function as shown below: if ($like_status) { echo do_shortcode(‘[fb_fans]’); } else { echo do_shortcode(‘[fb_nonfans]’); } Please refer do_shortcode official documentation.
Referring to the codex article on shortcodes, you cannot use a shortcode within itself…which is to say that the following is invalid: [foo] [foo] [/foo] [/foo] you should probably make an inner-content shortcode or something.
Your code is fine, the issue is in your shortcode. If you look around line 200 of /wp-includes/shortcodes.php, you can see that only / is supported for the close tag, not \. If you change [\reytab] to [/reytab] it will work!
If you are going to use that shortcode inside post/page content, then you can build any layout/design with that shortcode. You can do even more if you are calling do_shortcode() in your theme. Technically its possible to do it and whether it would be a good implementation or not depends on the use case. Like … Read more
Remove the space after the shortcode name. add_shortcode( ‘bio_image ‘, ‘bio_image_func’ ); becomes add_shortcode( ‘bio_image’, ‘bio_image_func’ ); I think WordPress is looking for a closing tag for bio_image[space], which doesn’t exist.
This is rather a simple PHP question and almost off topic. You can simplify your code drastically: $metas = array ( ‘twitch’, ‘own3d’, ‘livestream’, ‘ustream’, ‘justin’ ); foreach ( $metas as $meta ) { $value = get_post_meta( $post->ID, $meta, TRUE ); if ( $value ) { echo do_shortcode(“[livestream type=”$meta” channel=”$value”]”); break; } } This will … Read more
Either way you’re going to need to store the data you retrieve from an external database, in your WordPress database, if you don’t want to continually run the same query on your external database each time the page is accessed. You can either store the data in your WordPress database using Custom Fields (post meta) … Read more
Using WP’s templates you can create a page with static content already in it, and just grab the dynamic parts using WP_Query class. <h1>Static Header</h1> <div id=”dynamic_content1″> <?php $recentPosts = new WP_Query(); $recentPosts->query(‘showposts=3’); while ($recentPosts->have_posts()) : $recentPosts->the_post(); the_content(); // Put Loop Stuff Here endwhile; ?> </div> <div id=”other_dynamic_content”> <?php $anotherQuery = new WP_Query(); $anotherQuery->query(‘someotherquery=1’); while … Read more
That is not a shortcode. Take a look at the Shortcode API for examples of how to do this. Here is your specifc example: function wpse61674_archives_shortcode_cb( $atts ) { return wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly’); } add_shortcode( ‘archives’, ‘wpse61674_archives_shortcode_cb’ );
