URLs in variables – possible?

    Hi, thanks for an incredibly handy plugin! I’ve been trying to create shortcodes that contain URLs in a variable.

    Example:

    Let’s say I’ve made a shortcode called Test in Post Snippets, and created a variable called description.

    Now when I run the following shortcode [test description=”Blabla some text – find more info at <a href="https://www.address.com/">some site</a>"], the URL isn’t showing (in fact, the text disappears entirely). I’m guessing it has to do with the ” closing the variable too soon – but is there any way to resolve this so URLs can be included?

  • Hi,

    In your example, you can change it to this, and it will work as you expect (i.e., replace " with ' for your href).

    [test description="Blabla some text - find more info at <a href='https://www.address.com/'>some site</a>"]

    Cheers,
    Johan
