与Instagram的do_shortcode不起作用 - Wordpress

Question

I'm trying to insert an embed post of Instagram via code using do_shortcode function. This is the shortcode example that Instagram gives on the embed documentation:

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/bNd86MSFv6/ hidecaption=true width=320]

So I'm trying to call it like this:

echo do_shortcode('[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/bNd86MSFv6/ hidecaption=true width=320]'); 

The result I'm having is like I was using only the echo function, the shortcode comes as plain text on the browser.

The page that I'm editing is the single.php. And I did a test using a contact form 7 shortcode, it works normally with do_shortcode.

Am I missing something?

Answer 1

Are you trying to insert this code in your pages/posts, or a template file?

For pages/posts, all you need is:

[instagram url="https://www.instagram.com/p/bNd86MSFv6/" hidecaption=true width=320]

For template files:

echo do_shortcode('[instagram url="https://www.instagram.com/p/bNd86MSFv6/" hidecaption=true width=320]')

Since you are not using a plugin, the shortcode has not been defined. You can either use a plugin ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-instagram-embed/ ) or define the shortcode using Mark's suggestion.
