Wordpress get_page() and plugin shortcode not working - php

Question

I have a query to get a post in wordpress:
<?php
$page_content = get_page(2);
echo do_shortcode($page_content->post_content);
?>
The page that is being loaded has a shortcode in it that loads a slider. The slider markup is loading but the javascript and css files required for the plugin are not showing up in the source code. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

you did not supply any relative source code or link, but did you load the JS and css ?
Is the slider comes from a plugin ? is it your plugin ? is the plugin activated for said page ? did you enqueue your styles and scripts ??
Anyhow, as a first measure , try to load it manually on the page
function my_scripts_enq()
{
// Register the script for a plugin:
wp_register_script( 'custom-script', plugins_url( '/js/custom-script.js', __FILE__ ) );
// or
// Register the script for a theme:
wp_register_script( 'custom-script', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/custom-script.js' );
// then enqueue the script:
wp_enqueue_script( 'custom-script' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_scripts_enq' );
For fast debug you can can simply try :
if( is_page(42) ){
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_scripts_enq' );
}
for styles you should do :
function load_styles()
{
// Register the style for a plugin:
wp_register_style( 'custom-style', plugins_url( '/css/custom-style.css', __FILE__ ), array(), '20120208', 'all' );
// or
// Register the style for a theme:
wp_register_style( 'custom-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/custom-style.css', array(), 'se16205117', 'all' );
// then enqueue the style:
wp_enqueue_style( 'custom-style' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_styles' );
BTW - as a side note , From codex
$page_id = 2;
$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
// You must pass in a variable to the get_page function. If you pass
in a value (e.g. get_page ( 123 ); ), WordPress will generate an
error. By default, this will return an object.
