wpmem_do_shortcode()

Description

This function runs a shortcode’s callback function directly without having to parse the full regex that do_shortcode() has to run. It can be used for any shortcode – not just WP-Members.

Parameters

$tag
(string) (required) The tag for the shortcode being run.

$atts
(array) (optional) Any attributes as an array.

$content
(string) (optional) Any nested content for the shortcode.

Usage

wpmem_do_shortcode( $tag, $atts, $content );

Examples

Example where an attribute is included directly:

// This will display the value of "first_name" for the current user.
echo wpmem_do_shortcode( 'wpmem_field', array( 'first_name' ) );

Example of an attribute that needs an array key:

$atts = array(
    'login',
    'redirect_to' => 'https://mysite.com/my-page/'
);
echo wpmem_do_shortcode( 'wpmem_form', $atts );

Example of a shortcode with content:

$content = "This content only displays to a logged in user";
echo wpmem_do_shortcode( 'wpmem_logged_in', '', $content );

Notes

• This utility can be used for any shortcode – not just WP-Members shortcodes.  The only requirement is that WP-Members is installed and active.
• This utility comes from J.D. Grimes. You can implement his solution directly (if needed in an instance that WP-Members is not being used).

Changelog

• Introduced in version 3.2.5
