I’m developing a new custom theme – and noticed that if a post contains the shortcode it gets ignored (edit: I mean that the HTML delivered to the browser does not include , nor anything in its place… I think there’s a blank line or two)
My Theme is
- grabbing post contents via
the_content('→'); - also removing the standard
<p></p>wrapper viaremove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');
The Codex does not list this as one of the features you explicitly have to add support for – but we know the codex can be outdated/incomplete at times.
Anyways, what is it needed for a theme to recognize (and/or other such standard shortcodes) ?
Have you added any images to the page in which you are using the gallery?
The [gallery] shortcode won’t work without there actually being attachments on said post.
