fresh install – order of elements (shortcode is displayed above other elements)

Hi yurone,

Thank you for reporting this. It looks like there’s a bit of an issue with my example shortcode snippet. Shortcode callbacks should not echo content, but should always return it.

Here’s one example of how you could fix that snippet:

add_shortcode( 'shortcode_name', function () { 
	return '<p>write your HTML shortcode content here</p>';
} );

Otherwise, if you would prefer to write direct HTML code and not have to worry about PHP strings, you can use output buffering like this:

add_shortcode( 'shortcode_name', function () {
	ob_start(); ?>

	<p>write your HTML shortcode content here</p>

	<?php 
	return ob_get_clean();
} );
