@toscho can we add shortcode parameter to change the <ul class="private"> private to anything [private='public'].Here public will be the new ul class.and my code add_shortcode( 'private', 'shortcode' ); function shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) { $return_string .= '<ul class="private">' . $content . '</ul>'; return $return_string; }– ashrafSep 10, 2013 at 6:37

First off, your shortcodes are not formatted correctly for WordPress.
You need to have a tag for your shortcode and then define the attributes separately.
Instead of [list-style="one"][/list-style] it needs to be something like [list class="one"][/list]
The following code will add two shortcodes to your WordPress install.
[list] and [li]
// shortcode for the list
function LIST_shortcode( $atts, $content ) {
// get the options defined for this shortcode
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'class' => '',
'id' => '',
'type' => 'ul'
), $atts ) );
// output a list and do_shortcode for <li> elements
return '<' . $type . ' class="' . $class . '" id="' . $id . '">' . do_shortcode( $content ) . '</' . $type . '>';
}
add_shortcode( 'list', 'LIST_shortcode' );
// shortcode for the list items
function LI_shortcode( $atts, $content ) {
// get the options defined for this shortcode
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'class' => '',
'id' => '',
), $atts ) );
// return list element
return '<li class="' . $class . '" id="' . $id . '">' . do_shortcode( $content ) . '</li>';
}
add_shortcode( 'li', 'LI_shortcode' );
You would then use these like so:
[list class="one"][li]A[/li][li]B[/li][li]C[/li][li]D[/li][/list]
My code also allows you to also..
Define an ID attribute: [list id="someid"]
Define the list type: [list type="ol"]
For this code to work, add it to your theme's functions.php file or create a plugin out of it.
