    Hello,

    I want to use the shortcode_exists() function to check if the shortcode [slider id=”1″] exists. I have a feeling the space is messing things up, but am not sure.

    Current Code

    if (shortcode_exists( 'slider id="1"' )) {
    echo do_shortcode( '[slider id="1"]' );
}

    I have also tried…

    shortcode_exists( '[slider id="1"]' )

    Thank you for any help.

  • The shortcode_exists() function only takes the shortcode name, no other attributes or characters. You’d only want to use ‘slider’ for your site. In your case you’d use it like this:

    if (shortcode_exists( 'slider' )) {
    echo do_shortcode( '[slider id="1"]' );
}
