shortcode to add content to other parts of the page

  • i created a shortcode for my site that allows them to have content show up in a lightbox. when the html for the lightbox content gets rendered, it is displayed inside of the parent tag that holds the shortcode.

    is there a way i can write my shortcode function to somehow hook into wp_footer and add dynamic content to it? having the lightbox content inside of the parent html tag is causing rendering issues sometimes.

    Not entirely sure this will work, but it’s worth a try. From within your shortcode handler, add_action('wp_footer', 'your_callback'); where the your_callback() function echoes the footer content. The trick is how to get data passed from the shortcode handler to the action callback. I suggest using a transient.
