Hey

I have created a custom shortcode, by using my functions.php file, but i would like the shortcode really to have the following code to count the published posts:

<?php echo wp_count_posts()->publish; ?>

Is there any way to implement this easily as the code for the shortcode only specifies an output which is HTML based?

function custom_shortcode() {
$output = ‘HTML BASED OUTPUT’;
return $output;
}

Hey guys,

Just an update- I have managed to work around this now

I installed the following plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-code-for-posts/ (created a shortcode with the PHP script embedded and that worked perfectly)

If there’s any work arounds to integrate this into a child theme that would be awesome, but for now at least i could use the work around 😉

Kind Regards,
Jordan

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

You can add something like this from your functions.php

function short_code_name() {

$output = 'HTML BASED OUTPUT';
return $output;

}

add_shortcode('short_code_name', short_code_name);

Then simply add [short_code_name] to your editor content. You can add many as you want, just as long as the shortcode names are unique.

Thanks!
