I'm using shortcodes in my Wordpress page to display a responsive Google Map centered at specific location. To do it I'm using shortcode supported by external Wordpress plugin. Such shortcode is let's say [map address="New York"].
As all my Wordpress posts titles are names of the cities, I would like to automatize the process and be able to display the titles of the post in place of the address parameter in [map] shortcode.
Is it possible? Is there any way to do it? As far as I know nesting code or variables in shortcode isn't supported by Wordpress but maybe there is some kind of a workaround.
The same behavior I'd like to accomplish for 'custom field' - really similar situation.
I'd appreciate any help and any advice
Try to put this code to functions.php file in your theme:
function mymap_shortcode() {
echo do_shortcode('[map address="'.esc_html( get_the_title() ).'"]');
}
function mymap_shortcodes_init() {
add_shortcode('mymap', 'mymap_shortcode');
}
add_action('init', 'mymap_shortcodes_init');
And then in posts/pages (or even put it directly to template, or create another filter to add that) use shortcode [mymap] that will run [map] shortcode with current page title as parameter.

I'm working on a Wordpress theme, where I want to change the generated markup of the [product_category] WooCommerce shortcode. I browsed through the templates directory in the plugin, but can't find the file related to this particular shortcode.
So my question is, which files I have to copy to my template and modify to change the HTML outcome of [product_category]? (CSS modifications are already done, but I need to display a very different HTML markup, and I don't want to hack around with JS).
Also it would be better not to rewrite the whole function with a hook, but change the original HTML a bit (for example, set the background color based on a custom meta field).
Esiest way :)
add_shortcode('test','test_show_shortcode');
function test_show_shortcode( $atts ) {
echo do_shortcode('[products limit="100" columns="..." category="..."]');
}

I am looking for a simple way to add shortcode to a custom widget(Not in custom template) which i have created using my function file in wordpress,so this shortcode can be used to show my custom stuffs..?Any help
WordPress widgets aren’t enabled to manage shortcodes.So there is a simple trick which can
be used here.
Open your function file and write the following code
add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’);
More can be found here
if you want to use the shortcode in widget script, you need to add a function like:
echo do_shortcode('[your_shortcode]');
I'm using Genesis framework and I have this page (http://staging.seedcreativeacademy.co.uk/short-courses/) showing the categories of my custom post type short_courses. I have changed the category name to course_type, by creating a new custom taxonomy.
This is how I want it to work so far (styling needs sorting out admittedly!) Im also using CPT UI plugin.
Now, when I click through to a category, is displays each 'Course in a nice masonry block as you will see here: http://staging.seedcreativeacademy.co.uk/course_type/digital-marketing/
However, I dont want this pages to look like this and I've tried adding custom template for the following:
Archive-short_courses.php & taxonomy-short_courses.php
Archive-course_type.php & taxonomy-course_type.php
But it doesnt seem to alter the layout at all...
Once I pass this hurdle I will want to alter the single.php page for these short courses, but I thought I would start with this first.
Im not sure if genesis blocks this and sets a site wide default? I know if sets a site wide default for the archive settings but I cant find anything about a template, plus i dont know if I shoujld be searching for tutorials on archive.php pages, category.php pager or taxonomy.php pages...
Can someone help me clarify things please?
course_type is a term name, not taxonomy name.
So, these are correct for your case:
category-course_type.php (category-{slug}.php is correct format. So check if course_type is correct slug of that category)
single-short_courses.php
Just in case, try reload permalinks via Settings->permalinks->save after making these changes.
Looks like your theme or some plugin is adding masnory class to body tag, which then is styled by your child theme. You need to filter that class out of your body tag and then might styling goes to non-masonary styling.
Add following code to your taxonomy-course_type.php file, and also make sure you have genesis(); call as the last thing in the template.
add_filter('body_class', 'remove_body_class', 20, 2);
function remove_body_class($wp_classes)
{
foreach($wp_classes as $key => $value)
{
if ($value == 'masonry') unset($wp_classes[$key]);
}
return $wp_classes;
}
Above could should be in custom taxonomy template, which also have genesis(); as last line.
I am making a custom theme with shortcodes. The theme is ready, but now I need to make the shortcodes.
The problem is that the shortcodes don't work in my posts, they are only visible on my pages. When I add a shortcode in my post, the post displays nothing.
Here is the shortcode code:
function rss_subscribe_link() {
return 'Enjoy what you\'re reading? Subscribe to our RSS feed here now.'; }
add_shortcode('rss-subscribe', 'rss_subscribe_link');
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

This could happen if your post content is displayed via get_the_content() which is a function that returns the content without applying the default filters (wpautop, do_shortcode etc) that are applied normally when you use the_content(). Could you confirm if this is the case?
Does anyone know of a way to change the title of a page that is created dynamically in Wordpress? The pages in question are created dynamically via a plugin, and do not appear in the list of pages or Wordpress SEO in the admin section.
Here is an example of a page I would like to change the title of: http://www.forestlakechevrolet.com/inventory/New/
The inventory tool is maintaining the inventory of two dealerships, but only one is featured on this site. So it uses an SEO title based on the makes available at both dealerships.
Essentially, I am wondering if there is a function that I could add that would say "If URL is ... then force page title to be ***."
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you,
Jared Wilcox
Just use the wp_title filter
Add something like this to your theme's functions.php file:
<?php
function assignPageTitle( $title ){
global $post;
if ($post->post_name === "test") {
$title = "Title goes here";
}
return $title;
}
add_filter('wp_title', 'assignPageTitle');
?>
You may also need to change your theme's header file if the wp_title call is adding the Site Name.
