[Plugin: FLV Embed] do_shortcode PHP not working properly

  • This is a great plugin, my favorite flv embedding tool, but I have found one problem: the shortcode cannot be called directly in PHP (for use in templates) using WP’s do_shortcode function.

    For example, the code <?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[flv:/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/header.flv 720 480]’ ); ?> does not display a flash video, but simply outputs [flv:/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/header.flv 720 480] as text.

    Perhaps this has something to do with the unusual shortcode structure of [flv:/url] rather than [flv url=”url”]? Or maybe I’m just doing it wrong.

  • Hi, i believe i found a workaround. Instead of using <?php echo do_shortcode( '[flv:/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/header.flv 720 480]' ); ?> try using <?php echo flv_parse( '[flv:/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/header.flv 720 480]' ); ?>
    flv_parse is a function defined in the plugin code. This solution has worked for me. This thread has led me to this solution.
    Take care, Stan
