Php and shortcodes

    Hi,

    I’m using a plugin to restrict certain content by using a shortcode the plugin has provided.

    Now I want to use this shortcode only when someone is logged in.

    So my php code on my WordPress page is:

    <?php
    if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
    echo “[pms-register]”;
    }
    ?>

    But this doesn’t work. Does someone know the solution?

    Thanks,
    Sylvia

    Quick question, suppose I have shortcodes that have parameters with double quotes. I tried using \ to escape it but it doesnt work. Can you help?

    echo do_shortcode( ‘[pay name=”Form name” description=”Payment description”]’ );
    echo do_shortcode( ‘[pay_field type=”Email” label=”Your email” required=”true” /]’ );

    Thanks
    Sylvia

    Double quotes are OK when inside single quotes. You’d only have to escape if you had double quoted strings inside a double quoted string.

    It doesn’t work

    [pay_field type=”label” label=”Product ABC for €19,95″ amount=”19,95″ /]
    [pay_total /]
    [pay_button label=”Pay” /]
    [/pay]

    For instance I can see the last command whereas the code above is parsed

    If do_shortcode returns the string you provided, then it’s not finding the shortcode (in this case, the shortcode [pay])

    https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/is_user_logged_in/

    is_user_logged_in() returns TRUE or FALSE.

    So you would use something like

    <?php
if (is_user_logged_in() === TRUE)
   { echo '[pms-register]'; }
?>

    Yes so the shortcode that I need in php is:

    [pay name=”Form name” description=”Payment description”]
    [pay_field type=”email” label=”Your email” required=”true” /]
    [pay_field type=”label” label=”Product ABC for €19,95″ amount=”19,95″ /]
    [pay_total /]
    [pay_button label=”Pay” /]
    [/pay]

    I added echo do_shortcode. When I click on the Pay button it says that the amount it not valid.

    Thanks

    Contact the dev of the plugin that’s provide the shortcode(s) as your code is correct, as far as I can see.
