Add option to not apply content filters in shortcode

Hi Adeval,

If adding the option to disable the content filter for the shortcode solves your issue I would be happy to add this to my plugin.

I’m quite busy at the moment, so if you could send me the required code changes I shall release the updated version. Otherwise it will go on my to-do list.

Hi Johan,

Here it is (tested with your just released version 2.7.9):

function custom_post_widget_shortcode( $atts ) {
	extract( shortcode_atts( array(
		'id' => '',
		'slug' => '',
		'class' => 'content_block',
		'suppress_content_filters' => '0'
	), $atts ) );

	if ( $slug ) {
		$block = get_page_by_path( $slug, OBJECT, 'content_block' );
		if ( $block ) {
			$id = $block->ID;
		}
	}

	$content = "";

	if( $id != "" ) {
		$args = array(
			'post__in' => array( $id ),
			'post_type' => 'content_block',
		);

		$content_post = get_posts( $args );

		foreach( $content_post as $post ) :
			$content .= '<div class="'. esc_attr($class) .'" id="custom_post_widget-' . $id . '">';
			if ('0' == $suppress_content_filters) {
				$content .= apply_filters( 'the_content', $post->post_content);
			} else { $content .= $post->post_content; }
			$content .= '</div>';
		endforeach;
	}
	return $content;
}

Default usage is unchanged (i.e. previous usages of the shortcodes apply the_content filters as usual). To suppress the filters, use e.g. [content_block id=6636 suppress_content_filters="1"].

Oh, and it was 3 lines added, not just a one-liner ??

As said, I’d be thankful if you can include this (or similar) in the plugin. (The option name is a bit verbose, but I thought it was better to be explicit. Choose your name anyway)

Hi Adeval,

Since using a 0 for the shortcode attribute value might confuse some users, I have changed this to ‘yes’. So if you want to suppress the filter you add suppress_content_filters="yes" to the shortcode.

Does this work for you?

function custom_post_widget_shortcode( $atts ) {
	extract( shortcode_atts( array(
		'id' => '',
		'slug' => '',
		'class' => 'content_block',
		'suppress_content_filters' => 'no'
	), $atts ) );

	if ( $slug ) {
		$block = get_page_by_path( $slug, OBJECT, 'content_block' );
		if ( $block ) {
			$id = $block->ID;
		}
	}

	$content = "";

	if( $id != "" ) {
		$args = array(
			'post__in' => array( $id ),
			'post_type' => 'content_block',
		);

		$content_post = get_posts( $args );

		foreach( $content_post as $post ) :
			$content .= '<div class="'. esc_attr($class) .'" id="custom_post_widget-' . $id . '">';
			if ( $suppress_content_filters === 'no' ) {
				$content .= apply_filters( 'the_content', $post->post_content);
			} else {
				$content .= $post->post_content;
			}
			$content .= '</div>';
		endforeach;
	}

	return $content;
}

yep, fine with me, thanks!

Great, I have just released V2.8 which includes your code.

Could you please after installing the update press the ‘works’ button at the bottom of this page? (see https://imgur.com/4D1Dikq for a screenshot of the button)

Done ??
And thanks for your speed with incorporating suggestions!
