Shortcode Overrides

gcole_5 · March 2017

I am trying to alter the output of the Blog Slider to include the excerpt or an ACF field after the title. I have added hte following in my child theme functions.php, but it is not working -0 it simply loads the default shortcode layout. Any advice greatly appreciated:

function overwrite_shortcode() {

/* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Blog Slider [blog_slider]

* --------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

if( ! function_exists( 'sc_blog_slider' ) )

{

function sc_blog_slider( $attr, $content = null )

{

... customized output ...

return $output;

}

remove_shortcode('blog_slider');

add_shortcode( 'blog_slider', 'sc_blog_slider' );

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'overwrite_shortcode', 11 );

Also tried:

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'call_child_theme_setup' );

function call_child_theme_setup() {

remove_shortcode('blog_slider');

add_shortcode( 'blog_slider', 'sc_blog_slider' );

}

hi,

Sorry but such file modifications and third party plugins are not supported by us.

thanks

You don't have examples of doing a shortcode override??? Can you please tell me why? This is pretty common functionality and should be achievable with the code I outlined - but the priority is not being respected (remove_shortcode and then add_shortcode).

And forget third-party plug-in support, what if all I needed to do was display the post excerpt after the title?
