Hook not working right

[patrick24601]

This may or may not be a Genesis issue. It may be Genesis Simple Hooks. But I thought I'd ask.

I'm using Genesis simple hooks to execute a shortcode at a genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap hook. The shortcode works just fine when viewing a single post. But not when viewing the blog home page i.e. in the loop (I think). You can see it at http://stopdoingnothing.com . You'll see the shortcode right now. But click on an individual blog post and it works OK.

Any ideas? Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks. Patrick

You can hook in in using a custom function rather than simple hooks:

function wpsites_before_content_shortcode() {
echo do_shortcode('[hcshort id="16"]');
   }
}
add_action('genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'wpsites_before_content_shortcode');

Will that solve the problem of it not getting interpreted on the home page?

I tried your solution. All it did was put the shortcode text up there again. It is like shortcodes are being ignored in that area.

Any idea why?

Sorry. The code should be:

function wpsites_before_content_shortcode() {
echo do_shortcode('[hcshort id="16"]');
   }
add_action('genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'wpsites_before_content_shortcode');

I appreciate the help, but getting same result. You can see it at the top of http://stopdoingnothing.com/

I've tried all combination of apostrophes and quotes. It always comes back to the shortcode will not be understood on the home page, but it works fine on an individual post.
