Issues with do_shortcode formats

  • Interesting scenario here… I actually need to use this feature in a page template file. Password is retrieved via the database, and put into the page via PHP coding. I need to split apart the shortcode, so I can properly provide the content… and then display it, once the password has been entered.

    When I do the code below, the output is “[ppwp] Empty content, invalid attributes or values”.

    I’d appreciate any guidance (other than asking me to upgrade) on this.

    Thanks!

    <?php
	echo do_shortcode('[ppwp passwords="password1" whitelisted_roles="administrator"]&nbsp;<br />');
?>

  • Hi @bearlydoug,

    Thanks for reaching out to us with a clear explanation.

    Yes, you don’t have to upgrade to password protect your custom page template.

    The protection doesn’t work because you doesn’t insert your content the right way.

    We’ve put up a few sample codes for your reference in the link above.

    Can you please check it out and let us know if it works?

    First, thank you for the suggestion. I went with Method #1. Now dealing with another issue…

    <?php
	echo do_shortcode('[ppwp passwords="' . $scParental->word1 . '" whitelisted_roles="administrator"]' . $theContent . '[/ppwp]');
?>

    The password IS being outputted correctly (I see it while logged in as Admin), since I’m also outputting it as a <form> field. Whether I do the database extracted password, or a manually typed in password, I keep getting “Please enter the correct password!”.

    Hi @bearlydoug,

    To assist you better, do you mind sending the page URL for us to take a look at?

    You may want to drop us an email to hello(at)preventdirectaccess.com for faster response and better support from us.

    URL sent via email. ??

    Thanks!

    I need to note that this ended up being a very uniquely solved situation. Out of respect for the time that the BWPS teamies took, I will not post the changes I needed to do, anywhere.

    That said, the fact that the BWPS team *did* go above and beyond for my situation is amazing. If you were on the fence about purchasing their pro edition, I definitely encourage you to do so, if only to support the BWPS team, financially. You will not be disappointed with the support staff, for sure.

    This plugin does exactly what it needs to do, and I am appreciative that it exists.

    Thank you, BWPS Teamies, for everything!
