| Jun 26, 2013 at 16:26 | comment | added | Mary | @JohannesPille yes the shortcode works fine when I type it into the editor... but I needed 2 things... 1 wanted to add it's value after the title and before contents... which cannot be done unless I edit the template itself. Second thing is that I needed this to be permanent (i.e. instead of adding the shortcode everytime I write a page), so it appears on that location (between title and contents) in all pages of specific template. Hope that helps :) | |

OK, the shortcode is like this: <!--date--> So, when I paste this to the WYSIWYG, I get the date (when I see preview the page). Now... I tried to put this inside the page template: echo do_shortcode('<!--date-->'); It appeared AS TEXT (not executed)... and it appeared where I wanted (after the title & before the contents). But how to make it just show the VALUE, something like: 26/06/2013 The shortcode is working, This value shows up, if I paste the shortcode in the edit area of the page. | |

| Jun 26, 2013 at 15:41 | comment | added | Johannes Pille | Follow-up question: "Preferably inserting the shortcode somewhere between the page title & the actual contents of that page" --> If you type the shortcode in the first line of the page body in the WYSIWYG-Editor, that's exactly what should happen, no?! Can you clarify how what you are asking is different from that scenario? | |
