Use in home page

    I’m trying to include a video background in the home page. I have a front-page.php file, which is executing in home page.
    So I’ve created a new page landing with the shortcode and then wrote in the front-page.php file:

    ...
<?php
$page = get_page_by_title('landing');
echo $page->post_content;
...

    But I’m getting a JS error:

    Uncaught TypeError: $(…).vidbg is not a function

    I’ve tried with different things like:

    $page = get_page_by_title('landing');
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $page->post_content);
echo $content;

    but always get the same error. The only way to make it work is to go to the page itself. Am I missing anything or is this a bug?

    I’m guessing that the some script is not called.

    Hi msalsas,

    I would reccomend creating a function in your child theme’s functions.php file that adds the vidbg shortcode when the is_front_page() conditional is called. Here is an example below:

    /**
 * Create the function
 */
function msalsas_vidbg_front_page() {
  /**
   * Check if the current page is the front page
   * If so, init shortcode
   */
  if ( is_front_page() ) {
    do_shortcode( '[vidbg container="body" mp4="#" webm="#" poster="#" muted="true" loop="true" overlay="false" overlay_color="#000" overlay_alpha="0.3"]' );
  }
}
/**
 * Add this function to the WordPress footer
 */
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'msalsas_vidbg_front_page' );

    That javascript error worries me though. Could you link me the page that is experiencing this issue?

    Regards,
    Blake

    I finally found the problem. I was not including get_footer(). If I do, it works as expected. Thank you anyway
