How to convert a shortcode to an anchored image

More info please…..

Do you mean that on the page, your link “appears” to look like a shortcode, but the HTML is something like:

<a href="somepluginfunctionname" >[anchorlink that looks like shortcode because of brackets]</a>

If that’s the case, just replace the bracketed anchor link with your image.

If it’s something different, paste your actual HTML/code so we can help.

There is no html code on the page, just the text “[REDC]” (without the quotes of course). REDC is established with the statement “add_shortcode( ‘REDC’, ‘REDCportal’ );” and REDCportal is an installed PHP plugin.

I don’t know how to include a graphic in this kind of replay or I would show you what it looks like. However, it consists only of “Search Comps” in normal text and underlined signifying that it is an HTML ‘link’.

Left-clicking the text gets me to where I want to go (as redirected in the plugin PHP) and that’s exactly what I want. EXCEPT my client wants me to replace this text link with a JPEG that she has provided.

Thanks for your response.

This thread is now a week old and there has been only one response and it asked another question. Is there any way to generate some discussion going on this topic.

Can you post a URL of the page? It’ll be a lot easier to see what the situation is if we have a link.

OK, I got blasted with some things and I’m just now getting back to this problem. The URL is https://www.RealEstateDaily-News.com and there you will see that it uses the standard default menu. If a subscriber has paid for the extended functionality there will be an additional menu item at the far right called Search Comps.

If the paid subscriber left-clicks on Search Comps a second page comes up with an HTML link and if that link is left-clicked the installed plug-in is executed.

The problem is simple – avoid the second click by having the menu item go directly to the plug-in. However, this is, apparently, hard to do.

If someone is willing to look into this problem I now have a test subscriber that can be used to experience the duplicate click situation.
