shortcode on all blog posts

You’d want to edit your theme’s functions.php file and use the filter “the_content”. The code to put at the end of the file would be something like this:

function add_my_extra_content( $content ) {
	$content .= '<p>Latest articles</p>';
	$content .= '[shortcode]';
        return $content;
}

add_filter( 'the_content', 'add_my_extra_content' );

Thank you very much, this almost worked ??

your code works but when i replace the [shortcode] with the actual shortcode, it crashes, any ideas why ?

You can see here your code with the shortcode

[ Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button. ]

function add_my_extra_content( $content ) {
	$content .= '<p>Latest articles</p>';
	$content .= '[ess_grid alias="Articles similaires" settings='{"max-entries":"4"}' special='related'][/ess_grid][ess_grid alias="Articles similaires" settings='{"max-entries":"4"}' special='related'][/ess_grid]';
        return $content;
}

add_filter( 'the_content', 'add_my_extra_content' );

Try replacing the line that adds the shortcode with this:

$content .= '[ess_grid alias="Articles similaires" settings=\'{"max-entries":"4"}\' special=\'related\'][/ess_grid][ess_grid alias="Articles similaires" settings=\'{"max-entries":"4"}\' special=\'related\'][/ess_grid]';

Sorry to not get back to you, i had a small problem to fix

We are almost there, the code works but it is on posts and pages, How do i make them show up on only posts not pages, or even better on only certain categories “if it is not hard to do”

thank you very very very much

Hey atok I just put this together real quick so there’s probably a better way to do it, but for now this should work for you. In the “$included_cats” array you’d put the category id’s that you want to have the shortcode show up on.

thank you very much Trey, ill try this as soon as get home

just one question, to add the category id’s is this how i do that ?

if ( $cat == $category->cat_ID ‘3’, ‘4’, ‘5’) {

On line 6 of that pastebin:

$included_cats = array( 0, 2, 10 );

Replace the numbers with the category id’s you want the shortcode to show up on.

$included_cats = array( 3, 4, 5 );

That would work for 3 4 and 5. Say you wanted to add more you could do:

$included_cats = array( 3, 4, 5, 10, 11 );

And so on.

thank you very much for taking your time to write this
