exclude an attribute from a short code

Does the shortcode have that paramater? If not, did you edit the PHP code behind the shortcode to look for that parameter and process it?

Hi Steve,
Please see this link: https://lifetimeadoption.com/testtesttest/ ?
Lmk know if you need anything else. Thank you!

I don’t know why you’re showing me that link. It has nothing to do with shortcodes, AFAICT. Please answer my questions.

Sorry, it shows where I added the attribute into the query page so that i can use it in my short code.

I thought that is what you mean by “parameter”?

I assumed the shortcode was based on the install name (ltadb or c-name) Sorry I’m obviously not a strong php programmer! We use it in many sites in combination with the attributes like this:
[ltadb afl_family=”Y” perpage=”15″]
on this site
https://adoptionforlife.com/view-waiting-families/

I want to exclude these families from our main site lifetimeadoption.com but it pulls out families that are not afl as well when I say:

[ltadb afl_family=”N” perpage=”15″]

Where does that short code come from? That’s where you need to ask.

I looked through the php files but couldn’t find it. Is there a page name that is common for defining short codes? Is there a string of code that is common that I could use to search for it? I will keep looking. Thank you for clarifying!

It’s either in a plugin or in your theme. Your theme was built by https://mediajunction.com. Have you asked them?

Unfortunately this was before my time and they did not provide support after they built it.

I found it. Its a plugin called Lifetime Database query…

// Register the shortcodes
add_shortcode( ‘ltadb’, array( &$this, ‘render_shortcode’ ) );
add_shortcode( ‘ltafamily’, array( &$this, ‘render_shortcode_2’ ) );
add_shortcode( ‘ltabm’, array( &$this, ‘render_shortcode_3’ ) );

function render_shortcode($atts) {
//Select what attributes the short code is looking for
$find_attributes = array(
‘state’ => ”,
‘military’ => ”,
‘aa’ => ”,
‘biracial’ => ”,
‘older’ => ”,
‘previous_adoption’ => ”,
‘special’ => ”,
‘live_in’ => ”,
‘spanish’ => ”,
‘religion’ => ”,
‘contact’ => ”,
‘drug’ => ”,
‘mental’ => ”,
‘single’ => ”,
‘family_hispanic’ => ”,
‘family_african_american’ => ”,
‘family_asian’ => ”,
‘family_american_indian’ => ”,
‘family_caucasian_’ => ”,
‘open_to_east_indian’ => ”,
‘limit’ => ”,
‘region’ => ”,
‘perpage’ => ”,
‘fillpages’ => ”,
‘bordercolor’ => ”,
‘borderwidth’ => ”,
‘nonavigation’ => ”,
‘video_embed’ => ”,
‘any’ => ”,
‘agency_family’ => ”,
‘spotlight_family’ => ”,
‘tele’ => ”,
‘featured’ => ”,
‘yh_old’ => ”
);

I will add afl_family to this.

Question: I also have page-query.php with the same info in thisd install (previous screenshot in the link I gave you) and in the lifetime install. Why do I have it here and in 2 php docs? Is that necessary?

adding “family” to the list will not do it. I think you should probably hire a developer to address this for you before you break something. ??

I added
‘afl_family’ => ”,

then added
[ltadb afl_family=”N” perpage=”15″]
to the page but the afl family is still showing.

Getting closer though, thank you so much!
