Using $this from child class inside shortcode function

Your issue is in the callable object you add: array( __CLASS__, “build_shortcode”) This translates to: array( “WC_Product_Categories”, “build_shortcode”) Which is equivalent to: WC_Product_Categories::build_shortcode(); But build_shortcode is not a static function/method, and static functions/methods do not have a $this object, because there is no object associated. What you actually want is: array( $this, ‘build_shortcode’ ) Which … Read more

Page code showing in WP Dashboard

Shortcodes should not echo any output. They should always return the text that is to be used to replace the shortcode. You either write the html code on a variable: function my_shortcode() { $output=”<div>something</div>”; return $output; } Or you can use php output buffering: function my_shortcode() { ob_start(); ?> <div>something</div> <?php return ob_get_clean(); } In … Read more

How to use the same shortcode with different attribute values on same page

There is nothing wrong with your code when it comes to attributes (except maybe that having $attts and $atts makes the code much harder to read than it needs to be). I reduced your code to this test case: function display($atts){ ob_start(); $attts = shortcode_atts( array( ‘id’ => ‘2’, ), $atts, ‘Adds’ ); echo $attts[‘id’]; … Read more

Code is providing a row of data but not formatting it as table

It’s not displayed as table, because you don’t return correct HTML code. Let’s take a look at your code (I’ve put comments at end of incorrect lines): $content=”<table>”; $content .= ‘</tr><th>Week Beginning</th><th>Monday</th><th>Tuesday</th><th>Wednesday</th><th>Thursday</th><th>Friday</th><th>Saturday</th><th>Sunday</th><th>Weekly Total</th><th>Previous Week Totals</th></tr>’; // <- here you open TR with </tr>, so it’s already incorrect $results = $seconddb->get_results( ‘ SELECT * FROM seconddb_PontoonBoats_LineOne_2Log’ … Read more

Just display content between shortcode brackets

Adding a template part as part of a shortcode

get_template_part doesn’t return its value, it outputs it, which is how it would normally be used. Think of it this way, how would it know wether to echo the template or return it? So instead, we use output buffers to catch the output and flush it to a variable, e.g.: ob_start( ); echo “test”; $output … Read more
