Content and Title filters, shortcodes
-
I have this shortcode:
// Highlighting shortcode function caption_shortcode($atts, $content = null){ return '<span class="highlight">'.$content.'</span>'; } add_shortcode('h', 'caption_shortcode');
And printing my content using:
$content = $post->post_content; $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content); $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content); echo $content;
This is working great =)
However, this code is kinda copy pasted, and im curious about what exactly its doing. From experimenting I learned that without the apply_filters() function, my shortcodes did not work. But the str_replace() function didn’t seem to make any difference on my theme.
Also, I wanted to use shortcodes in my title, so I did the same thing to it as with the content:
$title = $post->post_title; $title = apply_filters('the_content', $title); $title = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $title); echo $title;
Is it wrong of me to use a the_content filter on the title?
And still, is the str_replace() necessary?
Is there a better way to do this?
