extract( shortcode_atts( ‘post_type’ => ‘publications_test’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’ ‘id’ => ”, ); The above is wrong. You have an array inside that function but it’s not in an actual array. Try this instead: extract( shortcode_atts(array( ‘post_type’ => ‘publications_test’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘id’ => ”, ), $atts, ‘testshortcode’); shortcode atts
You should not echo any content in your shortcode. the_weekday() function echos the date. You can use output buffering or directly get the date: Output buffering: function custom_shortcode() { ob_start(); the_weekday(); $week = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); return ‘<img src=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/wp-content/themes/coworker/images/daily-social-image-” . $week . ‘.gif” width=”100%” />’; } add_shortcode( ‘weekday’, ‘custom_shortcode’ ); Or use the global $wp_locale to … Read more
You’re missing semicolons after </li>, </ul>, and $output. You also shouldn’t be echoing inside string concatenation and not adding the <li> tag to $output. The below is your code with these fixes. function allphotos_shortcode(){ $images = get_field(‘fl_gallery’); if( $images ) { $output .= ‘<ul>’; foreach( $images as $image ) : $output .= ‘<li><a href=”‘ . … Read more
You’re using a mix of echoing and returning. Here you’re starting by echoing: echo ‘<div class=”clear”></div>’; Here you’re putting the output into a variable (correctly): $output=”<div class=”row”>”; And here you’re just writing the content in quotes without echoing or assigning to a variable: ‘<div class=”col-md-8 grid-entry-wrapper”> <!– grid-entry-wrapper open –> <!– BLOG LOOP –> </div><!– … Read more
I love to solve problems and to keep that habit fresh I’ve solved your problem. There were lots of issues. Now the form and ajax is working perfectly but still, there are some issues. For instance, you didn’t use nonce or CSRF token, which will lead to CSRF. You didn’t use any validation which is … Read more
The cause was obvious. I had earlier created a plugin that uppercased the entire post. The shortcode was not recognised because it was in all caps — just as the screenshot shows. Disabling that plugin allowed the shortcode to work as intended.
Shortcodes come in two flavors: [shortcodename param1 = value, …, param-n = value] and [shortcodename param-1 = value, …, param-n = value]some content[/shortcodename] In both cases, add_shortcode(‘shortcodename’, ‘functionname’) function is identical. The functionname() function’s parameters, determine which flavor will be used: functionname($atts) is for shortcode with no closing tag, and functionname($atts, $content) is for shortcode … Read more
It looks like you are trying to apply a shortcode to the title field. That is not supported by itself (only shortcodes in the post content are evaluated automatically), but easily remedied by adding it as a filter to get_the_tile in your plugin: add_filter (‘the_title’, ‘do_shortcode’); (I’m assuming that you ruled out other possible problems … Read more
shortcode_atts() returns an array (which is assigned to $atts in your code). It does not create new variables like extract() would – by the way using extract() is usually not recommended. So in your code, $custom_field (line 11) is not defined. The value you are looking for is in $atts[‘custom_field’] instead. Changing line 11 to … Read more
To create a custom shortcode, use wp’s add_shortcode(). The simplest place to add it is your theme functions.php, but the preferred way would be to add it to a child theme. The first parameter is your shortcode’s name. The second is the function the shortcode will use to generate the inserted content. Writing the function … Read more
