Trouble running a Content Views Plugin shortcode

[tommchale]

Hi - I'm still figuring out the Genesis action model and am trying to execute a shortcode from the Content Views plugin at a certain place on a page.

I've tried the following code in a simple page template:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Food Overview Page
*/
?>
<?php
add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'food_overview_grid', );
function food_overview_grid() {
echo do_shortcode('[pt_view id=750e362phd]');
}
genesis();

I've also tried similar code in functions.php using a condition statement. Neither are showing the plugin results. If I just run the shortcode in page content, everything works fine. Trouble is, I want to place the output just before the footer area so it extends full page width after the main post content and sidebar content.

I tried moving this to somewhere inside the main loop in case Content Views needed to be there, but it didn't seem to make any difference.

I must be doing something really dense here, any ideas? The dev site is behind a password, so URL won't work. I'm using the Education Pro child theme.

It looks like your code is structured correctly. It could be a timing issue. I would try adding a priority lower than the default of 10. Or, it could be that you might have to wrap the short code output in some structure.

Update for anyone else here running Content Views:

I may be nuts, but I think the executing a CV from PHP only works with the Pro Version even though it (seems to) imply that it works in the free version as well. Had to upgrade for some other features and suddenly the same code started working 🙂

Just FYI and thanks for the help!
