Attached PDF’s and docs in media not displaying in posts

There are several plugins that support a shortcode to display attachments. For example, https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/eg-attachments/

Is there a way to automatically put a short code on each and every post? Even if it is a custom post type?

You can use a filter on the_content to put stuff on every post.

Of course, if you’re doing that, then you can add your own code and don’t have to rely on a shortcode.

Thanks for the help so far!

So I added this to post-template.php

 add_filter( 'the_content', 'addDocShortCode');
/**
 * Add a icon to the beginning of every post page.
 *
 * @uses is_single()
 */
function addDocShortCode( $content ) {

    if ( is_single() )
        // Add shortcode to each page
        $content = sprintf(
           '[dg]',
            $content
        );

    // Returns the content.
    return $content;
}

I added it right after the function the_content. It works, however, it replaces all of the content from the post. I want all previous content from the post to remain and add the short code “[dg]” to the end. What am I doing wrong?

if ( is_single() ) {
  return $content . do_shortcode('[dg]');
}
else {
  return $content;
}

That puts it after the content.
