   I had a weird situation where I needed to insert some menus in our mobile home page's content area. I whipped up a new shortcode that would let me call menus by name ([menu name="students"]), and I stuck this in functions.php:

   function print_menu_shortcode($atts, $content = null) {
        return wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu' => $atts['name'], 'echo' => false ) );
   }
   add_shortcode('menu', 'print_menu_shortcode');

   ... but the shortcodes aren't processed when viewing the mobile version of the page. If I switch to the full view, the menus are shown correctly. As an experiment, I moved this code chunk to a plugin file instead of functions.php, and that also displays correctly.

   Yes, the desktop theme's functions.php file isn't included in WPtouch. That feature is supported in WPtouch Pro, however.

   Where does it specify that custom shortcodes are supported in the Pro version? I can't find it in the Features list and I don't want to buy if I can't be sure it supports shortcodes...

   I had a similar situation trying to get a shortcode to parse in the mobile version. WPTouch has it's own theme files that can be edited. Add your shortcode to the core-functions.php file located at ../wp-content/plugins/wptouch/themes/core/core-functions.php.

   hey marr,

   Where exactly do you add the shortcode?

   Thanks
