Ahh,, figured it out. Works fine,,, except

My short-code shows in the xml feed of the site as short-code. How would I apply the filter to prevent this from happening?

So,,

I created a basic plugin and inserted this into it

// [tag3]something[/tag3] -> You just said "something", didn't you ?
function shortcode_example3($attr, $content) {
return "You just said '$content', didn't you ?";
}
add_shortcode('tag3', 'shortcode_example3');

In the post I inserted this:

[tag3]Hello[/tag3]

and my output in the post is still

[tag3]something[/tag3]

Jasmine » Your shortcode function *echoes* something when it's supposed to *return* content.

I am trying to use short code to display the post id inside a post, however when I use [id] it is showing the post ID at the start of the post of the post content, not where I have typed it.

The shortcode I am using, I have placed this in the plugin folder.

PLAIN TEXT

PHP:

function shortcode_id() {
$id = the_ID();
echo $id;
}
add_shortcode('id', 'shortcode_id');

What displays on the post page: 10741This is a good post. This is Post ID:

I also tried:

PLAIN TEXT

PHP:

echo the_ID();

but it doesn't work either.

Paul Menard » I had the same concern and proposed that instead/in parallel of [stuff] it should be but despite some traction the idea was rejected...
So basically, yes, when you disable a plugin that parses shortcodes, everybody see them. Quite lame.
