[RESOLVED] finding the shortcode for a particular widget/plugin

mio510

Hi, everyone

I have installed this plugin wordpress.org/plugins/namaz-vakti/ but it seems this widget does not have any short code.
MY question how do i find the shortcode and if there is no short code how do i create a shortcode for this widget. i need the shortcode beacuse i will use the short code in a php file.

i have posted on the wordpres support forum but till now i have not received any replies or any solution.

thanks in advance

Short codes are not intended to be used in .php files; they're intended to be used in the content editor. With that said, you can still use the do_shortcode() function and pass it the short code to execute.

What I would do is just write the code I needed in your .php (template) file instead. You're going to have to do that anyway if you were to create a short code.

If you're looking for a short code you can try searching with your editor for "add_shortcode" in the plugin's folder. If there are no results than that plugin has no short codes.

It looks like there are no any shortcodes for the widget. any other possible ways i can create a shortcode for this widget.

i did find this line in the namaz-vakti.php file

    // Widgetler için Shortcode deste&#287;i ekleyelim
    add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode' );

anything i could try to make a shortcode for this widget .

Create it yourself. However you can also utilize the the_widget() function to output a widget in a template.

That's just a filter, not the droid you're looking for.
