Helpful doesn’t appear

Hey @eos3d,

thank you for your message. Have you tested disabling WP Fastest Cache?

Helpful works with JavaScript and Ajax. There it is not good if everything is minified.

Stay healthy!

Do you use the_content() in your posts ?

Helpful is only placed automatically if the posts also use the_content().

I took a look at your main theme (allium) once. Without any changes to the theme it should work. You are using a child theme though. I don’t know what your files look like.

You can also place the shortcode in a post [helpful].

If the shortcode works, it’s not Helpful, but your site.

Let me hear how it goes.

1) Shortcode is not working – I put it in widget and it looks like text [helpful] )))
2) We use get_the_content() in content-single.php

@eos3d

Widgets do not support shortcodes. Please place it in the content of a post that is also selected as a checkbox in the Helpful settings.

So post, page, media or similar.

I have ~3000 posts, how can I place it?)))
Are there any other decisions?

@eos3d

You should create a new post and place the shortcode once. This way we (you and i) can check if it’s Helpful or your site.

If the shortcode doesn’t work in ONE post either, then we’ll look further.

If this then works with the shortcode, you can use:

<?php echo do_shortcode( "[helpful]" ); ?>

A shortcode with a specific post ID:

<?php echo do_shortcode( '[helpful post_id="POST_ID"]' ); ?>

Just in case I can’t answer you anymore today, because I’m off work now.

It isn’t working with shortcode https://yadi.sk/i/AgWRsrYUk1nfnw
But it’s okay with this <?php echo do_shortcode( “[helpful]” ); ?> in content-single.php

As for me it’ll be better to work with automatic insertion.

@eos3d

I think your problem is that you are using get_the_content() but have not applied a filter so that the shortcodes are not converted.

You can replace get_the_content() with the following things, so that shortcodes are also converted:

<?php echo apply_filters( 'the_content', get_the_content() ); ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode( get_the_content() ); ?>

These are two possibilities. This is also how all shortcodes should be converted.

This only as an example. If this already works for you, it is excellent. Just remember to use [helpful post_id="ID of the post"], if several posts are displayed on one page, so that Helpful always evaluates the correct post.
