Hi,
I’m using the Code Snipetts plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/ – and followed the instructions in the support forum – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/passing-a-function-argument-through-the-shortcode/ – re parameter passing with the following code snipett.

add_shortcode( ‘introduction’, function($atts){

$locn = $atts[“locn”];
$output = “”;
$output .= ‘<h1>Assessment Planner – ‘.$locn.'</h1>’;
$output .= ‘<table id=”chance”><tr><td style=”width: 12%”>% Chance:</td><td><span id=”legendContainer” class=”legend” style=”border-style: solid; border-color: threedface; width: 100%”> </span></td></tr></table>’;

return $output;
});http://localhost/risk/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page

and get the following error report

Warning: Illegal string offset ‘locn’ in H:\sites.web\risk\wp-content\plugins\code-snippets\php\snippet-ops.php(446) : eval()’d code on line 3

The shortccode on the page is

[introduction locn=”UNITED KINGDOM”]

It works fine without reference to $atts[“locn”] in line 3 and $locn in line 5

The error report mentions teh Kathmandu theme, is there a conflict?

Thanks

@paul-mac: Hello Paul,
Can you please post in your site URL so that I can look into the issue?

The page is not live, it is still being developed on my local machine. But never mind I’ve been in contact with the plugin developer and he pointed me in the right directions.

I needed to add the following bit of code to the snipett:

add_shortcode( ‘introduction’, function ( $atts ) {
$atts = shortcode_atts( array(
‘locn’ => ”,
), $atts );

Thanks for getting back to me though.
