Homepage shortcode
-
I’m trying to write a plugin that makes use of shortcodes, and that seems to work okay I’m simply using:
add_shortcode('allan', function() { return 'ALLAN'; });To test, I’ve been using the Docker WordPress image (currently 6.0.1). Everything default with my plugin installed and the shortcode registered.
Editing the default post and going to
http://localhost/2022/08/10/hello-world/the shortcode renders out perfectly.On the index page however, I’ve found that:
- Theme – Twenty Twenty Two: Doesn’t render at all
- Theme – Twenty Twenty One: Doesn’t render at all
- Theme – Twenty Twenty: Does render correctly
Is there any way to get the default themes to render shortcodes in their index pages?
I got utterly confused by this and it took me a good while to figure out what was going on, and I can only imagine non-techies would be even more frustrated.

Thanks for the links. I’m not having problems with creating or submitting a plug-in, but specifically with shortcodes not bring rendered on the index page for the two newest default themes. As I say, they work fine when going to the post’s actual page, but not on the index page.
From the plug-in handbook you linked to there is a complete short code example.
Here is the code for the post where I’m using the short code from that example:
<pre><code><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>wporg should follow this: [wporg]</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fin</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->As you will be able to see, the shortcode is not rendered, it is simply removed. I don’t see anything in the handbook or the FAQs which covers this.
