To protect my adsense account for getting “smart priced” I like to hide the ads for a few countries. I use this code: * _[Code moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code). Please use the [pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/)]_ * I don’t get an error, but the ad content is still cached. Is it possible to do this using short codes? * Thanks! ` * Plugin Author [Donncha O Caoimh (a11n)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/donncha/) * (@donncha) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-super-cache-plugin-shortcode-mfunc/#post-2159589) * Take a look at the cached file in your cache directory and see what code it contains. Then load up wp-cache-phase1.php and trace what happens there. Look for “eval” which is the command that runs the cached file. * [Olaf Lederer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/finalwebsites/) * (@finalwebsites) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-super-cache-plugin-shortcode-mfunc/#post-2159590) * Thanks Donncha, * do you got the chance to see my code? You say that it has to be possible to use shortcodes for dynamic content parts? * Plugin Author [Donncha O Caoimh (a11n)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/donncha/) * (@donncha) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-super-cache-plugin-shortcode-mfunc/#post-2159591) * Olaf – I didn’t see it. Can you use a pastebin? * [Olaf Lederer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/finalwebsites/) * (@finalwebsites) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-super-cache-plugin-shortcode-mfunc/#post-2159592) * sure here it is: * [http://pastebin.com/PdYTZTha](http://pastebin.com/PdYTZTha) * Plugin Author [Donncha O Caoimh (a11n)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/donncha/) * (@donncha) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-super-cache-plugin-shortcode-mfunc/#post-2159593) * What happens if you put the mfunc code directly in your theme? Or use a filter to filter the posts and insert the mfunc chunk of code that way? * I think the issue is that the mfunc string isn’t getting cached because the shortcode function “returns” the code output. You should probably return “” etc, and not just return the output of get_adsense(). * [Olaf Lederer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/finalwebsites/) * (@finalwebsites) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-super-cache-plugin-shortcode-mfunc/#post-2159594) * That’s what I thought first how this works 🙂 I will try this, thanks * [Olaf Lederer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/finalwebsites/) * (@finalwebsites) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-super-cache-plugin-shortcode-mfunc/#post-2159595) * Donncha, using “echo” instead of “return” was the solution (time to write a tutorial about) * Thanks a lot! * [Olaf Lederer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/finalwebsites/) * (@finalwebsites) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-super-cache-plugin-shortcode-mfunc/#post-2159596) * Donncha, there is one tiny problem. If I place the shortcode inside the theme using do_shortcode it’s fine, but if I have the shortcode inside an article the generated code get moved to the begin of the content. I think it happens because I’m using the “echo” instead of the “return”. Any idea? * EDIT: looks like I was in trouble with my browser cache yesterday, it works with the code I posted [@pastebin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pastebin/) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) The topic ‘WP Super Cache Plugin ShortCode mfunc’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/wp-super-cache/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1095422) * [WP Super Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-super-cache/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-super-cache/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-super-cache/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-super-cache/reviews/) * 11 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Olaf Lederer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/finalwebsites/) * Last activity: [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-super-cache-plugin-shortcode-mfunc/#post-2159596) * Status: not resolved
