How to put tokens in post and theme files, etc
-
Token Manager is a great idea. But it simply doesn’t work. I created a {hello-world} token along the lines of the {copyright} example. Then inserted the text {hello-world} into the HTML editor.
But the page just displays {hello-world}.
Can you elaborate how tokens are supposed to be used. They look somewhat like shortcodes (but appear to be different in some respects).
As I understand the docs, putting:-
<h1>{hello-world</h1>
into the HTML editor should give me a big “Hello World” heading.And putting:-
…?><h1>{hello-world}</h1><?php echo ‘<h1>’ , {hello-world} , ‘</h1>’ ; ?>…
should give me TWO big “Hello Worlds”…But the second example looks dodgy (how can that possibly work? – though I haven’t tried it. And the first example simply doesn’t work full-stop.
Where am I going wrong? And some decent usage examples (in all the different places that tokens can be used – WYSIWYF/Visual Editor?, HTML Editor?, theme and PHP files generally? – would be VERY useful.
A clarification of how all this fits in with the WordPress content filtering would be helpful too.
