Shortcode does not render custom form, rather showing its name as text
-
Hi,
I have started learning WordPress recently. I am trying to create a custom form for users to post data using a custom post type which I have created without plugin. For this I have created a custom plugin and activated it from admin. The plugin which looks like this:<?php /* Plugin Name: Custom frontend entry form Description: Custom frontend entry form for publishing trip reports by users Version: 1.0 Author: Subrata Sarkar */ /* Register Custom Post Type */ function trip_report_init() { //Set up labels $labels = array( 'name' => 'Trip Report', 'singular_name' => 'Trip Report', 'add_new' => 'Create New Report', 'add_new_item' => 'Create New Report', 'edit_item' => 'Edit Trip Report', 'new_item' => 'New Trip Report', 'all_items' => 'All Trip Reports', 'view_item' => 'View Trip Report', 'search_items' => 'Search Trip Reports', 'not_found' => 'No Trip Report Found', 'not_found_in_trash' => 'No Trip Report found in Trash', 'parent_item_colon' => '', 'menu_name' => 'Trip Reports' ); //register_post_type $args = array( 'labels' => $labels, 'public' => true, 'has_archive' => true, 'show_ui' => true, 'capability_type' => 'post', 'hierarchical' => false, 'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'trip-reports'), 'query_var' => true, 'menu_icon' => 'dashicon-normalize', 'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'comments', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'page-attributes' ) ); register_post_type('trip_report', $args); //register taxonomy register_taxonomy('report_category', 'trip_report', array( 'hierarchical' => true, 'label' => 'Report Category', 'query_var' => true, 'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'report-category') )); //echo 'Trip report entry form'; } add_action('init', 'trip_report_init'); /* Ends registration */ /* Build the form */ function trip_report_entry_form() { ?> <form id="trip-report-entryform" name="trip-report-entryform" method="post" action=""> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> Report title <i class="red-text">*</i> <input type="text" id="txtTitle" name="txtTitle" class="form-control" maxmaxlenght="30" required /> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> <input type="submit" value="Submit" class="btn btn-primary text-small" /> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> </form> <?php } /* Ends form */ add_shortcode('new_trip_report', 'trip_report_entry_form'); //if ( shortcode_exists( 'new_trip_report' ) ) { echo "The shortcode exists";} ?>
But when I add the shortcode in a page content editor, the page does not render the form rather it only displays the name of the shortcode as text.
What I am doing wrong?
