    Hello.
    I want to have a shortcode, where after every 20th word there should be inserted a string: “This post is from Moderator XXX”.

    [moderatortext] word1-19 “This post is from Moderator XXX” word1-19 ….[/moderatortext]

    I want this Shortcode exclusively used by my Moderators. This I know how I can do/limit.
    But I am clueless about the Shortcode implementation itself.

    Some simple Shortcodes I’ve already created, so I know the API.
    But I am not a PHP expert, and with this special Shortcode I am stuck.

    I do not think this is easy, and maybe not even possible, because of embedded punctuation and possible html. However, the code below takes a simplistic approach and splits the content on the spaces class:

    function mam_moderated_func ($atts,$content=null) {
	extract(shortcode_atts(array(
         'noatts' => 'Unknown',
                                ), $atts));
	$output = '';
   if (!is_null($content)) {
      preg_match_all('/((\s+)?(\S+))/',$content,$matches);
      foreach ($matches[0] as $match) {
         $output .= $match;
         if (++$count == 20) {
            $output .= ' MODERATED ';
            $count = 0;
         }
      }
   }
   return $output;
}
add_shortcode('mam_moderated','mam_moderated_func');

    It has been late, but thank you very much.
    It is exactly what I intended and it works fine.

    Thank you again for your help.
