It’s this line:

$result .=  "<img src='anna.jpg' alt='Bild på Anna Persson' />";

You can’t just link to an image using a relative path like that. You never know where the shortcode might be used… so you need an absolute path to the image.

This should work:

$result .=  "<img src='".plugin_dir_url(__FILE__).'anna.jpg'."' alt='Bild på Anna Persson' />";

Take a look at plugin_dir_url().

You will need to use some custom css; use either a plugin, a child theme, or (if available) your theme options.

To remove date, author, etc.:

.postmeta_box { display: none; }

To remove the border/outline:

#page-inner #content {
    border: none;
    box-shadow: none;
}

Make sure you are aware of the “toolbar toggle” button:

Sure. I’m not saying it’s illegal 🙂 But somewhere along the way; those developers are going to encounter users with specific use-case scenarios; and will have to update their code.

From the plugin you mentioned above (probably related):

Perhaps not so much a big deal for a single user managing their own website. But for developers of themes/plugins… it’s just not a good idea.

Thank you for your openness 🙂

Hi @a2ztechnologies,

Actually, using any of the WordPress defined constants is never a good idea.

1) WP_PLUGIN_URL does not take into account SSL.
2) If the default plugins directory location is altered (for whatever reason); this will fail.

It’s much better to use This Method.

From the Constants Codex:

These should not be used directly by plugins or themes, but are listed here for completeness.
