I want to insert a hardcoded short code in my code, and not from the usual Text Editor we usually use.
Basically I want this to add a gallery, and the user doesn’t need to change the shortcode from the CMS so I will be hardcoding this.
How would I need to do this, I tried to just post it in my .php file but it doesn’t work.
This is the code I want to add:
[jj-ngg-jquery-slider gallery=”1″ width=”866″ height=”341″ ]
This will do the trick to include in
.phpfiles:shortcodes were created to include in post or pages. I could be wrong but wordpress checks the input of a post and if it finds a shortcode it will replace it with the html. I don’t think it will work if you add shortcodes in your .php file because wordpress doesn’t look for shortcodes in your php files
You could just create a function in functions.php to generate the html you need. Then you just call that function within your theme .php file. That’s how most plugins are made. Shortcode for post & pages and function in the php files.
example:
Did you try this method ? do_shortcode($content)
I’ve seen it on http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API
