I am trying to use the content to signify which template_part code to load on my page. For example, if the content == "volume" I want to load get_template_part('lib/volume');
<?php
$content = get_the_content();
$content = strip_tags($content);
$content = html_entity_decode($content);
$content = filter_var($content, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
get_template_part('lib/'.$content);
?>
This is the code in my template, however it doesn't load the desired template part.
You can strip all html tags with using wp_strip_all_tags() to get only the content. strip_tags() won't help you get rid of comments and wordpress gives us the great function to also delete the script and style.
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_strip_all_tags/
So you can use one line of code to get a clean content:
$content = wp_strip_all_tags( get_the_content() );
Maybe this is the reason. Have you tried so display the value of $content to make sure you have the string you want to have? If it outputs the string the right way, there might be a problem with the get_template_part() function.
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_template_part/
You can try putting the string together, before using in the function:
$content = wp_strip_all_tags( get_the_content() );
$content = "lib/".$content;
get_template_part( $content );
If this is not working, check the name of the folder lib (has to be subfolder in the root of your theme folder) and the name of your php files. It could also be possible that there is something wrong with the template part file and that is the reason it is not loaded. Next check the page template inside of which you are trying to get the template part.
If nothing helps you out, it could be an alternative using include() instead of get_template_part().
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"]');
Best Regards,
I have a two part shortcode, with opening and closing shortcodes, in a template file. See example below.
echo do_shortcode('[myshortcode][/myshortcode]');
I see from the Codex that I can do this:
echo do_shortcode('[myshortcode]' . '<div class="anyHTML">Any Text</div>' . '[/myshortcode]');
Is it possible/correct or will it work to do this instead?
echo do_shortcode('[myshortcode]');
$somePHP = possibleWordPressLoopCodeOrOtherPHP;
echo do_shortcode('[/myshortcode]');
I'm wondering about this to see if I can include PHP inside a two part shortcode, possibly a WordPress loop for a CPT or even other PHP code.
You need to have the whole shortcode block inside the do_shortcode function. So you could do something like this:
$text = some_code_or_function_that_returns_text_your_shortcode_can_act_on();
$sc_string = sprintf("[myshortcode]\n%s\n[/myshortcode]", $text);
echo do_shortcode($sc_string);
I'm currently building links like this:
<?php echo get_the_title(111); ?>
I was building links like this using the WPML plugin (but steering away from it due to various reasons):
<?php icl_link_to_element(111); ?>
This builds a link similar to my first example.
So my question is is there a native Wordpress function that does this? I'm sure there must be, but cannot find the solution anywhere. I'm looking to reduce my markup...
Thanks!
EDITED WITH ANSWER
This is how I built my custom function:
function build_pretty_link($id,$link_title='') {
if($link_title=='') {
$link_title = get_the_title($id);
}
$link_url = get_permalink($id);
echo "{$link_title}";
}
WordPress give a function that print an anchor tag with the title and the url, but you have to be in a the loop (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/permalink_anchor).
I suggest you to create your own function (the functions.php file in your theme is here for that).
You can do someting like that :
function vp_link_to($post_id) {
echo '<?php echo get_the_title($post_id); ?>';
}
get_permalink(x);
Where the ID of the page is x and wrap this in whatever you need, so
$id = 10;
$link = get_permalink($id);
echo 'Linked text';
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.
