Business directory add new shortcode

To add a new shortcode to a business directory, you'll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a new PHP file

In your business directory's root directory, create a new PHP file (e.g., shortcode.php) and add the following code:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Business Directory Shortcode
Description: A shortcode to display business directory listings
*/

function business_directory_shortcode($atts = array()) {
    // Your shortcode code goes here
    return '';
}
add_shortcode('business_directory', 'business_directory_shortcode');

Step 2: Define the shortcode function

In the business_directory_shortcode function, you'll need to define the logic for displaying the business directory listings. This might involve querying the database, filtering results, and formatting the output.

For example, you could use the following code to display a list of businesses:

function business_directory_shortcode($atts = array()) {
    $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'business',
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
    );
    $businesses = new WP_Query($args);
    $output = '<ul>';
    foreach ($businesses as $business) {
        $output.= '<li>';
        $output.= '<h2>'. $business->post_title. '</h2>';
        $output.= '<p>'. $business->post_content. '</p>';
        $output.= '</li>';
    }
    $output.= '</ul>';
    return $output;
}

Step 3: Add the shortcode to your theme

To use the new shortcode in your theme, you'll need to add it to your theme's functions.php file. You can do this by adding the following code:

function theme_setup() {
    // Register the business directory shortcode
    add_shortcode('business_directory', 'business_directory_shortcode');
}
add_action('init', 'theme_setup');

Step 4: Use the shortcode in your theme

Now that the shortcode is registered, you can use it in your theme's templates. For example, you could add the following code to your theme's index.php file:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[business_directory]');?>

This will display the list of businesses defined in the business_directory_shortcode function.

That's it! With these steps, you should now have a new shortcode that displays business directory listings in your theme.
