  • You’re calling your shortcode code using the_content action hook which is going to run any and every time the_content() function is used, which is often a lot. You should review the Shortcode API Documentation.

    You can add the shortcode, then in the traditional WordPress editor you can use [Feed_Details] in the content editor which will call your shortcode. If you’re trying to inject the shortcode into the content without giving the user a choice you need to add conditionals for when your shortcode callback will run.

    at the end of your code you have

    add_action( 'the_content', 'Feed_Details' );
    Just remove this line and you will be fine. Not sure why the guy above did not explain a little better.

    This code here is going to run every time you load any page period. Which will more likely cause a memory issue. To stop that just remove this line.

    If you wrote this code im pretty sure you know how to put [feed_details] in the editor for that page. dont use [Feed_Details] as that is incorrect.
