Add Shortcode LMS pages only

[pacworks]

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way I can add shortcode to LMS pages only (units, quizzes, etc.). I have a sticky audio player that I only want to show up on the LMS pages. I was given this code by the plugin developer to place in my header.php or footer.php file:

 if ($post->ID==100 || $post->ID==200) {
//do nothing
} else {
echo do_shortcode("[lbg_audio3_html5 settings_id='1']");
}

I was thinking that I may be able to add the shortcode to a php file that only appears in the LMS sections instead of the header.php or footer.php file, but I'm not sure what the best file would be add the shortcode to.</p>

Hi... Please let me know what you mean by LMS pages, according to my understanding you need it on course status page where all the units and quizzes are done by a student. Please let me know if you want it only here or somewhere else also ?

Yes, I need it on the course status page. I have 2 options for implementing the sticky audio player. One is by inserting a line of php code into the header.php file or footer.php file. The other is to use a shortcode in the page or post I want to player to appear on. If I put the code in the header.php or footer.php file, it shows up on every page, unless I use the code I provided in my last post to specifically tell it which pages I don't want the player to show up on. This method isn't ideal because I have many pages and I will have to remember to edit this each time I create a new page. I tried putting the shortcode in the Course Status page, but it doesn't work. It looks like the shortcode is stripped out to be replaced with whichever unit or quiz is loaded.

Hi.. For showing it on course status page use the hook "wplms_before_course_main_content" for example: add_action('wplms_before_course_main_content',function(){ echo do_shortcode();//Add your shortcode here just like you added in the previous code. }); You need to add this code in the wplms-customizer.php file present in your wplms customizer plugin.

It doesn't seem to be working. I am using a child theme. Just to confirm that I am doing it correctly, I have downloaded the wplms-customizer.zip file from the plugins folder in the WPLMS theme. I extracted the file and added the this code to the wplms-customizer.php file: add_action('wplms_before_course_main_content',function(){ echo do_shortcode('[lbg_audio3_html5 settings_id="3"]'); }); I compressed the file back into wplms-customizer.zip and uploaded the zipped folder to the plugins folder in my child theme. Is that correct?

I also uploaded  wplms-customizer.zip containing the code edit to wplms-customizer.php to the plugins folder in the parent theme, just to see if that worked, but that didn't seem to work either.

Hi... This is a plugin you do not have to upload it in the themes folder, you need to upload it in the plugins folder. But since you are using a child theme then you can also add the code in the functions.php file of your child theme.

That worked! Thank you for your help.
