| Aug 24, 2015 at 20:16 | comment | added | mpellas | I appreciate that! I'm really trying to get through this with one project that I'm building for a specific purpose. I'm getting the hand of PHP...but it's driving me crazy that I can't translate it over to Wordpress. It'll come in time :) | |
| Aug 24, 2015 at 20:08 | comment | added | Rarst | I think I will let you build it out some more rather than dump bunch of stuff on your head. :) Processing of stuff doesn't have to be in the post content / shortcode and probably shouldn't, but if that's fastest for you to make sense of it for starters then just do that. | |
| Aug 24, 2015 at 19:59 | comment | added | mpellas | Thanks for the answer. For my current skillset, I wasn't sure if add_shortcode or wp_insert_post would be more appropriate. I found wp_remote_retrieve_body today but haven't used it. Would you not use that in a shortcode? | |
