I have visual composer which is packed with total theme. When I put the following grid short code in my page in the editor it works correctly.
[vc_basic_grid post_type="post_type" max_items="10" item="masonryGrid_SlideFromLeft" grid_id="vc_gid:1458178666639-80ebf3775500c87d35de078c3422fe96-10" taxonomies="555"]
However, when I call the exact same code using do_action it gives the following javascript error. I checked the html output and it is the same using do_action like putting the short code in editor.
Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: {'status':'Nothing found'}

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Well, you can't output contents directly in your templates by using core shortcodes of VC like that.
1. Problem:
For security, besides nonce, VC uses page_id and shortcode_id to check AJAX request/respond data.
The shortcode_id is automatically generated by VC, you can not harcode it.
For example, this is the shortcode you see on admin editor screen:
[vc_basic_grid post_type="post_type" max_items="10" item="masonryGrid_SlideFromLeft" grid_id="vc_gid:1458178666639-80ebf3775500c87d35de078c3422fe96-10" taxonomies="555"]
Let say the page ID is 4269, this is the generated HTML code on front-end:
<!-- vc_grid start -->
<div class="vc_grid-container-wrapper vc_clearfix">
<div class="vc_grid-container vc_clearfix wpb_content_element vc_masonry_grid" data-initial-loading-animation="zoomIn" data-vc-grid-settings="{"page_id":4269,"style":"all-masonry","action":"vc_get_vc_grid_data","shortcode_id":"1458178666639-80ebf3775500c87d35de078c3422fe96-10","tag":"vc_masonry_grid"}" data-vc-request="http://example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php" data-vc-post-id="4269" data-vc-public-nonce="0641473b09">
</div>
</div>
<!-- vc_grid end -->
Now, if page_id and shortcode_id don't match each other, {'status':'Nothing found - $shorcode_id'} will be throw out and no contents will be displayed.
You can find out more inside vc_grid.min.js file.
2. Solution:
Generate a fake page with VC, then copy generated html code to your template file.
Create a template with VC directly.
Use Shorcode Mapper to create your own shorcode.
First you build a new page and add a grid post on it,
then we get
_vc_post_settings
post meta , and try to build a new one
then update post meta data
now we can by pass VC Ajax security check
in the following code "1513628284966-37b8c3ca-d8ec-1" is VC generated guid
you should change it to yours .
$meta = get_post_meta(1365,'_vc_post_settings');
$settings = array();
#$settings['vc_grid_id'] = $meta[0]['vc_grid_id'];
$key = random_int(1513628284966,9513628284966);
$settings['vc_grid_id']['shortcodes'][''.$key.'-37b8c3ca-d8ec-1'] = $meta[0]['vc_grid_id']['shortcodes']['1513628284966-37b8c3ca-d8ec-1'];
$settings['vc_grid_id']['shortcodes'][''.$key.'-37b8c3ca-d8ec-1']['atts']['custom_query'] = "tag=shop";
$settings['vc_grid_id']['shortcodes'][''.$key.'-37b8c3ca-d8ec-1']['atts']['grid_id'] = ''.$key.'-37b8c3ca-d8ec-1';
$n = add_post_meta(1365,'_vc_post_settings',$settings);
return do_shortcode("[vc_basic_grid post_type=\"custom\" show_filter=\"yes\" filter_style=\"dropdown\" item=\"5959\" grid_id=\"vc_gid:".$key."-37b8c3ca-d8ec-1\" filter_source=\"post_tag\" custom_query='tag=".$tag."']");
I've solved.
I had the same problems, with the Visual Composer Editor offered by WpBakery
https://wpbakery.com/
and after understanding the connection between the IDs of the block, and the ID of the Post, I put more attention to the settings of the Block.
There is infact one field called "Element ID", and here we have to put our ID of the Post we are editing.
In my case the Block was a block containing some Posts.
After saving, and viewing the page without the Editor, I was finally able to see the block, and not the message
{"status":"Nothing found"}
I found a solution to this problem.
I modified the woocommerce category template and linked to the woocommerce_archive_description hook to add additional descriptions from some pages, for this I got their id, and then display the content.
echo do_shortcode($post->post_content);
The gallery(media grid) didn't work because there was a mismatch between the page id and the shortcode id. Therefore, the logical solution was to redefine the global variable $post to the $post of the page from which I get the content.
global $post;
$post = get_post( $id );
And it turns out that the post id matches.
After that, don't forget to return the normal $post value;
wp_reset_postdata();
By the way - use this option to load custom styles for wpbakery elements.
echo '<style type="text/css" data-type="vc_shortcodes-custom-css">' . get_post_meta( $id, '_wpb_shortcodes_custom_css', true ) . '</style>';
The whole code
function extra_product_category_desc(){
if( is_product_category() ){
$id = get_term_meta (get_queried_object()->term_id, 'pageId', true);
if($id !== ''){
global $post;
$post = get_post( $id );
echo do_shortcode($post->post_content);
echo '<style type="text/css" data-type="vc_shortcodes-custom-css">' . get_post_meta( $id, '_wpb_shortcodes_custom_css', true ) . '</style>';
wp_reset_postdata();
}
}
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_archive_description', 'extra_product_category_desc', 11 );
You may also try with do_shortcode('');
Like
do_shortcode('[vc_basic_grid post_type="post_type" max_items="10" item="masonryGrid_SlideFromLeft" grid_id="vc_gid:1458178666639-80ebf3775500c87d35de078c3422fe96-10" taxonomies="555"]');

I have a WP shortcode that is giving me problems.
Basically, the shortcode just pulls content from another post using a couple of parameters. It then loads up a partial template.
The problem occurs in WP Admin when saving the page that contains the shortcode. When saving the page updates do in fact save correctly but the resulting page is a page that outputs the contents of the shortcode.
I'm using output buffering around get_template_part() for two reasons: 1. So I only have one instance of the template in my code - and - 2. Because the template is actually pretty substantial and appending all of it to an output variable would be a daunting task.
The shortcode works fine in every way except when saving the page.
Here is a video demonstrating the issue:
https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/1146323?key=103ae00d841b47cee8a902eb18c8988a
Here is my code:
function get_main_page_content( $atts ) {
$main_page_id = $atts['main_page_id'];
$section = $atts['section'];
$people_display_option = $atts['people_display_option'];
$GLOBALS['sc_display_option'] = $people_display_option;
ob_start();
if(have_rows('flexible_content', $main_page_id)):
while(have_rows('flexible_content', $main_page_id)): the_row();
if ( $section == 'agenda' ) {
get_template_part('partials/agenda');
}
if ( $section == 'people_cards' ) {
get_template_part('partials/people-cards');
}
endwhile;
endif;
ob_end_flush();
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $output;
}
add_shortcode('get_main_page_content', 'get_main_page_content');
It looks to me like ob_end_flush() is not needed and is redundant. That might be causing the OB to send twice, resulting in that code on your screen.
I'd be curious if your problem persists if you drop that line. Also, for a very simplified version of your exact usecase, check this blog post:
https://konstantin.blog/2013/get_template_part-within-shortcodes
I am currently creating a widget to display the registration form on a WordPress website that uses WooCommerce. For now, I only have 3 basic fields which are email, password, repeat password. I'm looking forward to add more WooCommerce fields, but want to solve that problem before jumping to the next step.
I'm having some problems with the messages output (wrong password, account already exists, etc).
I searched on the web and there was no shortcode already built for WooCommerce registration, beside their registration page. So I went ahead and created a shortcode, with a template part.
function custom_register_shortcode( $atts, $content ){
global $woocommerce;
$form = load_template_part('framework/views/register-form');
return $form;
}
add_shortcode( 'register', 'custom_register_shortcode' );
This is a snippet I use to get the template part inside a variable, since the default function would "echo" the content instead of "returning" it.
function load_template_part($template_name, $part_name=null) {
ob_start();
get_template_part($template_name, $part_name);
$var = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $var;
}
So, the problem is, when I call woocommerce_show_messages or $woocommerce->show_messages(); from my template part, nothing is showing, or if it is, it shows at the top of the page.
I did try to put the calls inside my shortcode function:
function custom_register_shortcode( $atts, $content ){
global $woocommerce;
$woocommerce->show_messages();
$form = load_template_part('framework/views/register-form');
return $form;
}
add_shortcode( 'register', 'custom_register_shortcode' );
Doing so, the message output inside the <head> tag, which is not what I want.
I tried to do the same trick with ob_start(), ob_get_contents() and ob_clean() but nothing would show. The variable would be empty.
I also did try to hook the woocommerce_show_messages to an action as saw in the core:
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop', 'woocommerce_show_messages', 10 );
For something like:
add_action( 'before_registration_form', 'woocommerce_show_messages');
And I added this in my template-part:
<?php do_action('before_registration_form'); ?>
But I still can't manage to get the error messages show inside the box. It would always be inserted in the <head>
I will share final solution when everything is done.
Thanks for your time,
Julien
I finally got this working by hooking a custom function to an action which is called in my header.php
I guess hooking functions inside template part does not work as intended.
In header.php, I got this:
do_action('theme_after_header');
And here's the hooked function. Works perfectly.
function theme_show_messages(){
woocommerce_show_messages();
}
add_action('theme_after_header', 'theme_show_messages');
However, I will look into 'unhooking' the original show message function since it might show twice. Need to test some more ;)
You can also just use the [woocommerce_messages] shortcode in your template where you want it displayed
Replying to a bit of an old question, but you can also try the following:
$message = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_my_account_message', '' );
if ( ! empty( $message ) ) {
wc_add_notice( $message );
}
Almost sure that I'm not the first one that has this question but when I test my (WordPress) page on Google Snippet Test Tool I got hatom-enty errors like:
hatom-feed
hatom-entry:
Fout: At least one field must be set for HatomEntry.
Fout: Missing required field "entry-title".
Fout: Missing required field "updated".
Fout: Missing required hCard "author".
I found some tutorials about this but that is for standard WordPress themes. I'm using Inovado from ThemeForest and I can't figure out in which file I have to edit this data.
Someone familiar with this?
I also got problems with snippet review... Good in testresults but doesn't show up in de Google Search Results. Don't know why...
You can Add this code to the function.php file in your theme's directory and it will solve the problems.
//mod content
function hatom_mod_post_content ($content) {
if ( in_the_loop() && !is_page() ) {
$content = '<span class="entry-content">'.$content.'</span>';
}
return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'hatom_mod_post_content');
//add hatom data
function add_mod_hatom_data($content) {
$t = get_the_modified_time('F jS, Y');
$author = get_the_author();
$title = get_the_title();
if(is_single()) {
$content .= '<div class="hatom-extra"><span class="entry-title">'.$title.'</span> was last modified: <span class="updated"> '.$t.'</span> by <span class="author vcard"><span class="fn">'.$author.'</span></span></div>';
}
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'add_mod_hatom_data');
The code contains 2 functions. The first function will use the WordPress filter hook for “the_content” to add the class of “entry-content” to the article. To add in the other essential hAtom fields, the second function will add a short sentence to the end of your post article, which contains updated time, post title and author, with required microdata.
I'm trying to run a do_shortcode in functions.php with no luck
I'm using Types plugin http://wp-types.com/ for creating custom post types and custom fields.
What I'm trying do is adding a custom column in admin for view all custom posts that displays a thumbnail from a custom field.
This is what I got so far, but it seems that the shortcode doesn't work inside functions.php
// add a column for custom post type (products)
add_filter('manage_product_posts_columns', 'add_thumbnail_column');
add_action('manage_product_posts_custom_column', 'add_thumbnail_content', 10, 2);
function add_thumbnail_column($defaults)
{
$newSlice = array('thumbnail' => 'Image preview');
$counter = 2;
$array_head = array_slice($defaults,0,$counter);
$array_tail = array_slice($defaults,$counter);
$defaults = array_merge($array_head, $newSlice);
$defaults = array_merge($defaults, $array_tail);
return $defaults;
}
function add_thumbnail_content($column_name, $post_ID)
{
// this one works when putting into post content
echo do_shortcode('[types field="square-picture" id="' . $post_ID . '" size="thumbnail"]' . '[/types]');
}
Can anyone help please?
In the Wordpress notes for the function it says
"If there are no shortcode tags defined, then the content will be
returned without any filtering. This might cause issues if a plugin is
disabled as its shortcode will still show up in the post or content."
Types may be conditionally declaring their short code only when you are on the frontend. What may be happening is that, in the admin, the short code is not defined and you are simply getting a false return. While on the frontend, the shortcode is defined and you get the results you intended.
I am editing a Custom Post Type template, and am using custom fields to enter info into a meta box to be included on the page, as well as include some static default text on all the pages.
I basically need to "chunk" together the post info in the_content along with the static text and some meta box info. Here's what I want:
the_content
static text
meta box 1
more static text
meta box 2
end of the _content
I have plugins that add social buttons before the_content and a signature after the_content so I am trying to figure out how to get all my custom stuff sandwiched in between those.
If I just add the meta boxes i nthe template, they display outside of the_content and the plugins display in unwanted places.
I ended up figuring this out on my own. The solution: using functions.php and add_filter, I had to create a new function to create the default content, and it works great.
here's the general code for anyone interested:
function custom_post_type_default_content($content) {
global $post;
if ($post->post_type == 'your-custom-post-type') {
$content .= '<p> '. get_post_meta( $post->ID, "metabox-1-slug", true ).'
<br />
<p> '. get_post_meta( $post->ID, "metabox-2-slug", true ).'</p>
<p>YOUR TEXT HERE.</p>';
}
add_filter('the_content', 'custom_post_type_default_content', 0);
Note that the zero just near the end controls placement. I have a social media plugin that has a priority of "1", and to get the default content to appear above that I have to make this a priority of "0".
Also note the single apostrophes that open and close the code following $content .=
You basically add whatever you want between those apostrophes, and in this case I am pulling metabox info which have their own apostrophes containing code. It gets confusing!
In other words, your code should be $content .='YOUR CUSTOM CONTENT' and within those apostrophes, add your text, code, etc. The standalone metabox code is '. get_post_meta( $post->ID, "metabox-1-slug", true ).' which is nested inside where the YOUR CUSTOM CONTENT text is.
I am basically explaining this to myself, as these were the things that tripped me up so figured would explain them in detail to help someone else like me. Or me when I have to go look this up again!
Post your single.php here or on pastebin along with the custom field names you're using (& where you want them) and I'll try to help you figure out what you want.
Copy this code to your function.php file.
function content_function_update($content) {
global $wp_query, $post;
if ($post->post_type == 'your-custom-post-type') {
$postid = $wp_query->post->ID;
$value1 = "your value 1";
if($value1 !== '') {
$content = $content . "<br>" . $value1
}
else {
$content = $content;
}
}
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'content_function_update');
Add any custom content in variables and append it to $content variable.
