Where to add the code in functions.php

[headmetal]

I am trying to add a carousel to the bottom of each post. I have the option to use php code <?php post_carousel_id('1217'); ?> or shortcode [post-carousel id="1217"]

I have some other code in the following location
`add_action( “x_after_the_content_end”, “add_post_shortcode” );
function add_post_shortcode() {
if(is_singular( ‘post’ )){
echo ’

'; } }`

hoping to get some help to add this carousel below these two images.

Hi @headmetal,

We need to use this function:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/

The code can be added like this:

add_action( "x_after_the_content_end", "add_post_shortcode" );
function add_post_shortcode() {
if(is_singular( 'post' )){
echo '<center>
<a href="https://www.profoundtalent.com"><img border="0" alt="back home" src="https://www.profoundtalent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/back2.jpg" width="162" height="28"></a>
<a href="https://www.profoundtalent.com/category/magazine"><img border="0" alt="see" hspace="20" src="https://www.profoundtalent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/see1.jpg" width="162" height="28"></a>
</center>'.do_shortcode("[post-carousel id='1217'] ");
}
}

Hope this helps. Please also note that further customization from this would be outside the scope of our support. Thank you.

</center>’.do_shortcode("[post-carousel id=‘1217’] ");

saddly this did not work. The carousel did not show. guessing there is no way to add the other php script in this functions.php?

Hi @headmetal,

I tested the above code in my local setup and it works fine, please make sure you’re adding the above code in the child theme’s functions.php file and your child theme is active.

Another factor could be the wrong shortcode, please check if the ID 1217 is correct and the plugin is currently installed and active.

As a test you can try the following code:

add_action( "x_after_the_content_end", "add_post_shortcode" );
function add_post_shortcode() {
	if(is_singular( 'post' )){
		echo '<center>
		<a href="https://www.profoundtalent.com"><img border="0" alt="back home" src="https://www.profoundtalent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/back2.jpg" width="162" height="28"></a>
		<a href="https://www.profoundtalent.com/category/magazine"><img border="0" alt="see" hspace="20" src="https://www.profoundtalent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/see1.jpg" width="162" height="28"></a>
		</center>'.do_shortcode('[author title="About the Author"]');
	}
}

You should see the Author box at the end of each post along with linked images (see screenshot) if it works correctly you can then simply replace the shortcode [author title="About the Author"] with yours [post-carousel id="1217"]

Hope this helps!

thank you, it is working. I had to remove the same shortcode that was in the article for this to work but it is.
amazing support as always
