mp_buy_button shortcodes not working

Hi there masta76,

Thanks for posting this here. I believe you’re adding that shortcode in the midst of another shortcode (a column shortcode I’m guessing by the ‘one_third last’ class).

And I think the reason it’s not rendering properly is related to that. Could you try, for the moment, including the shortcode in a bare page or post, without being included in another shortcode?

It would help to see how that renders first off. 🙂

Thanks,
David

Thanks for that further info, I don’t think the WP version would affect the shortcode display. That would be worth checking later if needed.

Could I get you to try the following in that same page?
[mp_list_products]

Also, do you have any other plugins utilizing shortcodes on your site? Do they display properly if so?

If not, could you maybe try a simple one like the Extra Shortcodes plugin?

Thanks for your patience! 🙂

Hi there Marek,

Hope your well today and thanks for the additional information.

I’ve taken a look at this and it should be working from what I can see, when your adding the shortcode are you adding it via the visual editor or the text editor?

Could you try using the text editor please? If that still doesn’t work, could you send me some WP admin login details please to contact(at)wpmudev.org with the subject line Attn: Jack Kitterhing

Thank you!

Kind Regards
Jack.

Hi again masta76,

Sorry that I didn’t catch this sooner but this being the Lite version of MarketPress, it doesn’t include the shortcode option for the buy button.

Given the confusion surrounding the matter, I’ve thrown together a quick shortcode for you to use for that though, as follows:

// [mp_custom_buy_button product_id="foo-value"]
function mp_buy_button_shortcode( $atts ) {
	extract( shortcode_atts( array(
		'product_id' => NULL
	), $atts ) );
	return mp_buy_button(false, $context, $product_id);
}
add_shortcode( 'mp_custom_buy_button', 'mp_buy_button_shortcode' );

I changed the name of the shortcode to [mp_custom_buy_button] in order so that it wouldn’t conflict with the official one.

And potentially you could include that snippet in your site with the following:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/

Or you could paste it into you theme’s functions.php file. It’s up to you.

Could you let us know how that will work for you?

Thanks,
David

Hi again Marek,

Point taken, we’ll be looking into that. And glad to hear you’ll be getting the Pro version, it’s quite a beast! 🙂

Cheers,
David
