I created a wordpress plugin and I added shortcode feature to it.
but i want to execute only one shortcode and prevent applying of multiple shortcodes if the administrator did so.
thanks.
You may find what you need here:
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/40733/check-for-shortcode-in-post-pages-and-widgets-and-template-files
However please note that if you allow only one shortcode to run, if your client installs a plugin that used shortcodes this will not work.
Why you need this anyway? Maybe we can find a better solution :)

I am having an issue finding any way to display a single post on the woocommerce checkout specifically on a payment plugin, I use other shortcodes in these gateways and they work perfectly.
However when I try using some display post shortcodes it doesn’t work at all and instead shows up as text.
Example of my issue - i edit and put in the shortcode [display-posts] and instead of displaying the posts it simply displays [display-posts].
I have tried using multiple shortcode plugins and even tried creating my own. The main one I have tried to use is [display-posts] with the plug-in. I always put it in my themes functions.php as well!
I have tried these short codes on the regular Wordpress pages that I have that are published and have found I have the same issue, so I don’t believe it’s the placement I want the shortcode to appear at. Can anyone help me with this?
To make all the posts display you can create a custom shortcode and the shortcode which you are using is [display-posts] is not default WordPress in build shortcode. To have your same shortcode run please install the below plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/
Then you [display-posts] shortcode will work or another solution is custom shortcode as I mentioned above.
Please let me know if find any issues.
Thanks.
So I am trying to do this and I don't know how. I have a wordpress powered website with a plugin called "frontier-post" in it. This plugin makes a new front-end post submission. The way to use it is to put the shortcode "[frontier-post]" in any post in my wordpress page and that page turns into this.
I want to make a custom page for myself, where I can have the content created by this plugin there too. So I do not want it to be a post in my wordpress, but lets say at a corner in the custom page. I have searched and found these but the suggestions there would not work. I am able to include the wordpress so that the custom page has access to posts, etc. but even using this
echo do_shortcode('[frontier-post]');
would not help me. (even if header is included)
These are the similar things i found:

I would really appreciate it if you could help me with this.
If you are creating a PHP page that isn't going to be rendered inside WordPress, you can't use a Plugin of the WordPress engine to accomplish what you are wanting to build. (As the accepted answer to one of the pages you link to indicates).
Instead, you might be able to use the json-api plugin and have your custom page query it for the data. While it won't render the shortcode, it will give you the raw data to work with.

Edit:
Based on a comment, your do_shortcode should work...just try it without the square brackets.
I'm writing a custom wordpress plugin and trying to incorporate some functionality from a third-party plugin. That plugin seems to use add_meta_box to create the fields for settings options on the plugin admin pages. I searched the entire source code of the plugin for add_settings_field and it doesn't occur once. Are the two functions basically interchangeable? From the WP Codex, it seems that add_meta_box is primarily for the purpose of adding "a custom section to the post and page editing screens" -- i.e. not so much intended for the admin settings/options forms. On the other hand, the 3rd-party plugin seems to work very well, which is why I'm borrowing from it...
So in short my question is this: can someone please explain correct usage for the add_meta_box and add_settings_field functions? Thanks! Please let me know if anything about this question is unclear and I will do my best to rephrase.
This is a settings field (Slug):
This is 2 Meta Boxes (publish and categories):
I would like to know which WP plugin should I choose to allow every user who come to my page to add a post to my page form the frontend.
He just click on a button add a new post or something like that. Than a form appear and he inserts the title and uploads an image.
After that its published as a post.
Is there a solution like this available for WP?
Thanks in advance.
From what I know, there is no existing plugin doing it as you need. Even if it existed, I wouldn't recommend it's use for security reasons; it is hard to follow every uses and make sure visitors would post the way you want.
You are definitely better to code it by your own, and it's quite simple using the wp_insert_post function. This function will work anywhere you put it inside Wordpress (no need to build a plugin from scratch), so a simple form with validation would make it.
Hope it guides you on what you're looking for.
I am trying to see if I could change a plugin's admin options within my theme functions?
For example, the plugin allows you to upload a logo. Can I filter it somehow to remove that option from the plugin within my theme function.php?
Thanks...
It depends on if the plugin is hookable. Most of the time the answer to that question is no, unfortunately. I would approach the plugin author regarding that.
