I installed a Plugin in a wordpress site which uses some shortcode (like metaslider). But when I insert the shortcode in the page it is not displayed the content of the shortcode but only the string [shortcode].
Have I to insert something in the function.php file of the theme I use? (it is a custom theme)
Thanks in advance
If only the string [shortcode] is shown instead of the actual plugin output, it seems that the output of your pages does not use the do_shortcode filter properly. Without exactly knowing what's happening, try the following:
function filter_content_example($content) {
$content = do_shortcode($content);
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'filter_content_example');
This is only a first guess. Without further investigation i could not solve that problem.

I want to take the text from an custom field made with acf, and put it into the excerpts shown the posts shown on the front page. I am using genesis, and I think I have to do "remove_action" and "add_action" to do this, but I can't figure out how to do it.
You can try a filter that WordPress has called the_excerpt
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'your_function_name');
function your_function_name($excerpt) {
$my_acf_field = the_field('my_acf_field');
return $my_acf_field . ':' . $excerpt;
}
This would append the acf field string in the beginning of the excerpt. If you want this to apply only on the front page, you can only add this code in your front-page.php file OR you can put the above code in your functions.php and use the Wordpress conditional is_front_page() in the function code above.
(This code is untested)
I'm coding plugin that create custom post type with custom fields. Now I need to build custom archive/category/tag templates which should contain custom fields.
The problem is that I couldn't insert template part inside archive loop from plugin.
Is there some hook to insert custom loop inside activated theme? Something like this:
add_filter('the_content', 'change_content_in_single_post');
Now I'm using this hook:
add_filter( 'template_include', 'change_whole_cpt_archive_template' );
... but when I use template_include hook it changes whole template and I need to do something like the_content filter. That hook get template of current theme and replace standart content template with my custom template - make it part of activated theme. It makes my CPT single page template compatible with any wp theme. Now I need to replace standart archive loop with my custom loop. For example: on archive page show posts without images... It must be something that replace result of standard get_template_part() function with custom template from plugin. That's what I`m searching for...
Anyway, maybe you know some better ways to make plugin (archive template) compatible with wp themes?
Huge thanks for any help!
you need to introduce some logic to only run on your cpt archive page.
add_filter( 'template_include', 'change_all_archive_template' );
function change_all_archive_template($template){
if ( is_post_type_archive('cptname') ) {
$template= 'find the template!';
//if( file_exists ) --> look in theme 1st??
//else --> load from plugin..
}
return $template;
}
There are quite a few plugins that use this technique to look in the active theme 1st and if not found, find the file in your plugin.
I found solution in woocommerce plugin files.
So... the best way to build custom archive template from plugin is to use template_include hook and in custom template file set header and footer from activated theme:
<?php get_header();
// custom archive loop
get_footer(); ?>
To make it more compatible with any wp themes use stanard wordpress and bootstrap classes.
I need help with wordpress shortcode. I have written shortcode function in functions.php in my theme files. Now I create page in wordpress administration and then I need to place this shortcode into special place in my theme but with content which I wrote in administration.
I hope that you understand what I mean.
Thank you for your help.
In your template code:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[your-shortcode]'); ?>
Replace [your-shortcode] with whatever your shortcode is, including parameters/attributes and/or closing tags if required.
I'm developing a plugin that creates custom wordpress pages, however I ran into a problem when trying to get shortcodes from other plugins to integrate into my plugin, well more like I couldn't find any info on it.
For example if someone uses my custom page builder and adds a short code [gallery] that is associated with an enabled plugin, I want the shortcode to do it's thing.
Could anyone point me in the right direction for this?
Try wordpress
http://wordpress.org/plugins/synved-shortcodes/
while this plugin let's you integrate shortcodes on every wordpress page , I suppose that you issue is with wordpress functions.php file where you can have a look at , with this plugin installed !
You can check if a shortcode exist before printing it with the function shortcode_exists() (https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/shortcode_exists)
Example:
<?php
if ( shortcode_exists( 'gallery' ) ) {
// The [gallery] short code exists.
}
?>
Then, if it exist and you want to print that shortcode with PHP code you should use do_shortcode() function (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/)
Example:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[gallery]); ?>
Always use in WordPress's in-built
the_content
hook to print your custom page content.
WordPress by default process all shortcodes before outputting any stuff from this hook.
More info can be found here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_content
I create a page in the model twentytwelve theme and I install the plugin cool video galery. my problem if I create it shows me the shortcode, not the video, how do I correct the problem?
Have you try to use do_shortcode function for using shortcode in Template.
So, Suppose if you short code is [cvg-gallery galleryId='gallery-id'] then wrap it with do_shotcode. Like
// Use shortcode in a PHP file (outside the post editor).
echo do_shortcode('[cvg-gallery galleryId='gallery-id']');
And then use it in template or in Lightbox.
