Hi Towfiq

Please can you assist, Im not sure if my first post made sense.
what i actually want to do is to add a short code on my front page, but when I add it to the front page welcome box it does not work, If i paste the shortcode in a normal page, it works.

thanks

which version of the theme are you using? whats your site address?

[Greg]

Im using version 2.0 and the address is http://lobayphotography.co.za/

Thanks

paste the shortcode here.

[Greg]

[cardoza_facebook_like_box]

[Towfiq I.]

open up index.php and add this:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[cardoza_facebook_like_box]'); ?>

after this:

<?php echo of_get_option('wlcm_textarea'); ?>

[Greg]

Hi Towfiq
Its not working, do I add the code anywhere in the index.php ?

[Greg]

Oh sorry I misread your post let me try again

[Greg]

Not working, I added it like you said, pls see below:

<!–Welcome message–>
<?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>
<?php if ( of_get_option(‘wlcm_textarea’) ) { ?><div id=”thn_welcom”><p><?php echo of_get_option(‘wlcm_textarea’); ?>< ?php echo do_shortcode(‘[cardoza_facebook_like_box]’); ?></p></div><?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
<!–Welcome message END–>

[Towfiq I.]

does the shortcode work in normal posts?

[Greg]

Yes it does, Tried it on a normal page and it works.

Even if i can add the slider and the blocks on a normal page and paste the short code on the page and that will be fine.
but i need to add this shortcode on the front page pls.

[Towfiq I.]

sorry. there was a typo in the code that I posted above, try this:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[cardoza_facebook_like_box]'); ?>

[Greg]

still no luck :
<!–Welcome message–>
<?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>
<?php if ( of_get_option(‘wlcm_textarea’) ) { ?><div id=”thn_welcom”><p><?php echo of_get_option(‘wlcm_textarea’); ?><?php echo do_shortcode(‘[cardoza_facebook_like_box]’); ?></p></div><?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
<!–Welcome message END–>

[Towfiq I.]

send me the download link of this shortcode.

[Greg]

im not sure where the download link is but its a shortcode for the Facebook like widget plugin for wordpress
this is the site where i got the short code from http://www.vinojcardoza.com/cardoza-facebook-like-box/

[Greg]

here is the shortcode on a normal page. it works fine http://lobayphotography.co.za/?page_id=276

[Towfiq I.]

you dont need to use any shortcode/widget plugin to display facebook likebox. Go to this page
:

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/

and create your own likebox and after create it. click the “Get code” button and then click the “iframe” and then copy the code.

Now open up index.php and paste the code under this line:

<?php echo of_get_option(‘wlcm_textarea’); ?>
