Add shortcode to Genesis theme archives?

[Solved]

James 9 years ago

Genesis themes allow you to add a custom html intro section to wp archives (e.g. category & tag pages).

How would I get the FV player shortcodes to work there?

I tried the suggest from your FAQ question 22….

echo apply_filters(‘the_content’, ‘[flowplayer src=yourvideo.mp4 width=240 height=320]‘);

But it didn’t work…

Hello James,

could you please send over what kind of shortcodes you are using?

I worked with Genesis a bit, but our CSS designer Viktor is more experienced, so I asked him to have a look at this once your post the shortcodes.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Martin,

I am using the basic shortcode to call the FV player…

[fvplayer src="http://www.mydomain.com/video.mp4" splash="http://www.mydomain.com/picture.jpg"]

I add this shortcode to the html intro section for a category in the Genesis theme. But all I can see is the raw code…

Thanks,
James

Any ideas?

Hello James,

if we talk about this field https://wpbeaches.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/genesis-category-header-text.png, then archive intro text accepts only HTML, not PHP. That’s the reason, why your code doesn’t work there.

A similar filter like the one below works for enabling shortcodes in text widgets, so after a small change it might also work here. Try it out and let me know.
```
add_filter('genesis_do_taxonomy_title_description', 'do_shortcode');
```
thanks

Hi Viktor,

I added

add_filter( ‘genesis_term_intro_text_output’, ‘do_shortcode’ );

to my functions file and its now working.

Thanks for your reply
