Category Shortcode

Hi Schalk,

Yes, it is. We have a short code to do that now:

[AWPCPSHOWCAT id=6]

Assuming 6 is a valid category id for you.

All shortcodes are documented here: https://awpcp.com/forum/faq/valid-awpcp-shortcodes-3-x/

thanks, super.
I have another question, but will open a new ticket.

… it doesnt seem to work if you use the shortcode withing shortcode…

[tabs style="default"] 

[tab title="All Ads"] [AWPCPSHOWCAT id=8] [/tab]

[tab title="Audio & Visual"] [AWPCPSHOWCAT id=6] [/tab]

[tab title="Community"] [AWPCPSHOWCAT id=7][/tab]

[tab title="Sport"] [AWPCPSHOWCAT id=2] [/tab] 

[/tabs]

If that’s the case, the fault here would lie with the plugin or theme that supports the tab shortcode above (I’m not familiar with it, so I’m not sure which)–they may not support shortcode expansion inside of their own code. That’s unfortunately outside of AWPCP’s control. If you use the shortcode in a place that supports shortcode expansion, it will work.

Hi, totally understand

It is the builtin tab shortcode for woothemes canvas
Was just hoping it will work, as I’m using the same method for the business directory plugin here:

https://outoforder.co.za/tpark/bd-listing/

[tabs style="default"] [tab title="All"][businessdirectory-listings category=11][/tab]

[tab title="Accommodation"][businessdirectory-listings category=15][/tab]

[tab title="Accounting"][WPBUSDIRMANMVIEWLISTINGS category=12][/tab]

[tab title="Agriculture"][WPBUSDIRMANMVIEWLISTINGS category=3][/tab]

[tab title="Architecture"][WPBUSDIRMANMVIEWLISTINGS category=4][/tab]

[tab title="Brokers"][WPBUSDIRMANMVIEWLISTINGS category=5][/tab]

[tab title="Communication"][WPBUSDIRMANMVIEWLISTINGS category=13][/tab]

[tab title="Property"][WPBUSDIRMANMVIEWLISTINGS category=14][/tab]

[tab title="Education & Training"]Education & Training content goes here.[/tab]

[tab title="Engineering"]Engineering content goes here.[/tab]

[tab title="Finance"][WPBUSDIRMANMVIEWLISTINGS category=12][/tab] [/tabs]

Now that’s…odd. That would imply that they ARE expanding shortcodes, but not for everything.

Hmmm, can you contact me here and we’ll discuss this further? https://awpcp.com/contact/
