Use Shortcode inside Template

(@bleachie)

Hello,

New to wordpress and PHP.

How do I wrap this shortcode around some HTML/PHP? I’ve tried using the do_shortcode but that didn’t work.

<?php echo do_shortcode( [timed-content-rule id="101"] ) ?> 

<?php echo do_shortcode( [/timed-content-rule] ) ?>

PHP/HTML

<?php
$rows = get_field('breakfast');
$row_count = count($rows);
$i = rand(0, $row_count - 1);

?>

<h1>
    <?php echo $rows[ $i ]['dish_name']; ?>
</h1>
<p>
   <?php echo $rows[ $i ]['dish_description'];  ?>
</p>
<h3>
    Served<span><?php echo $rows[ $i ]['time_served'];  ?></span>
</h3>

Hi.

Put the content you want to protect into a variable, then wrap everything into a do_shortcode() call. It’ll look something like this:

<?php
$rows = get_field('breakfast');
$row_count = count($rows);
$i = rand(0, $row_count - 1);

$my_timed_content = "<h1>" . $rows[$i]['dish_name'] . "</h1>";
$my_timed_content .= "<p>" . $rows[$i]['dish_description'] . "</p>";
$my_timed_content .= "<h3>Served<span>" . $rows[$i]['time_served'] . "</span></h3>";
echo do_shortcode( '[timed-content-rule id="101"]' . $my_timed_content . '[/timed-content-rule]' );
?>
