The following is problematic in the OP’s code snippet: Missing shortcode_atts() for default attribute handling. Incorrectly defining the shortcode’s input argument, use instead function create_my_shortcode( $attr = [], $content = null ){ … } Not escaping user input, check e.g. wpdb::prepare(). We want to avoid possible SQL injections. Uses hardcoded table prefix, wp_, instead of … Read more
Thanks to @mmm I figured it out. What I am doing now is adding the form in between php tags. EXAMPLE of what I was doing ?> <input type=”checkbox” name=”overwrite” value=”true”>Overwrite?<br> <?php What I need to be doing is adding the content that I want to add to the page into a string that is … Read more
You can create the shortcode as a string like this : $rate = 2587.36; $code = “[mycred_exchange from=\”mycred_default\” to=\”mycred_usd\” min=\”0.00001\” rate=\”$rate\”]”; and then, to execute the code echo do_shortcode($code);
You have the posts_per_page attribute in your shortcode, but you’re not actually calling it in your WP_Query. Your’re doing a few unnecessary things in your code, but for now, the issue at hand is that you need to add: if( !empty( $posts_per_page )) { $query .= ‘&posts_per_page=”.$posts_per_page; } Before you call: $wp_query->query($query); As it is … Read more
I think the underlying issue here is that shortcodes are not evaluated when placed inside HTML attributes. You could modify the template and output the necessary HTML using PHP and do_shortcode( ‘[urlparam param=”Book” /]’) as an alternative approach: <!– Calendly inline widget begin –> <div class=”calendly-inline-widget” data-url=”<?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[urlparam param=”Book” /]’ ); ?>” style=”min-width:320px;height:580px;”></div> … Read more
Short codes are for generating HTML for the front end, and no front end functionality should write to the DB because: With enough traffic it will bring down your site. If you use caching or CDN for your content it will simply not work at all, if you expect it to work for all page … Read more
From reading this guide, could you try using a variable to output the return as such? $output=”This is the return”; return $output; Also, if you’re calling the shortcode with do_shortcode(‘[michael]’); in a php file, you’ll need to echo this, like so: <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[michael]’); ?>
A partial solution I’ve found so far is to escape the brackets in the initial call, then replace the escaped characters in the do_foo_shortcode function. function do_foo_shortcode($atts, $content = null) { extract(shortcode_atts(array( ‘bar’ => ”, ), $atts, ‘foo’)); $bar = str_replace(“[”, “[“, $bar); $bar = str_replace(“]”, “]”, $bar); $bar = do_shortcode($bar); $content = do_shortcode($content); return … Read more
I’m not entirely sure if that’s what you wanted, but… Here’s the code that will register a shortcode, which will get given row and output all the fields of it: function shortcode_db_row_cb( $atts ) { $atts = shortcode_atts( array( ‘id’ => false, ), $atts, ‘db_row’ ); global $wpdb; $row = $wpdb->get_row( $wpdb->prepare( “select * from … Read more
Inside the __construct() you can put this global $shortcode_id; $shortcode_id = 0; in the display_gallery_shortcode() function you can do this <?php global $shortcode_id; $shortcode_id ++; $settings_arr = array();//Here is your settings for each shortcode ob_start(); ?> <script> if(!my_plugin_data) var my_plugin_data = {} my_plugin_data[<?php echo $shortcode_id ?>] = <?php echo json_encode($settings_arr) ?> </script> <div>MY SHORTCODE CONTENT … Read more
