How to add Visual Composer Shortcode to Post

[jonbrowne]

I have been trying to add a visual composer short code to “posts” via editor. However, it does not work. I have tried several ad unit plugins but, they conflict with cache plugins.

I would like to add “Kleo Posts” to the bottom of every article.

How can I accomplish this?

Thank you!

Hi,

I’ve made a little function that helps you to achieve this.

Just replace the shortcode ( [vc_posts_grid loop="size:10|order_by:date|post_type:post"] ) with your desired shortcode.

$shortcode = ‘[vc_posts_grid loop="size:10|order_by:date|post_type:post"]‘;

COPY CODE

function CustomKleoAddContentAfterPost( $content ) {

    if( is_single() ) {

        $shortcode = '[vc_posts_grid loop="size:10|order_by:date|post_type:post"]';
        $content .= '<h4>Kleo Posts Grid</h4>';
        $content .= do_shortcode($shortcode);
    }

    return $content;

}
add_filter('the_content', 'CustomKleoAddContentAfterPost');

You need to put this snippet to your kleo-child/functions.php

Thank you. But, I tried implementing this but, the suggested posts do not appear.

I would like for an ad unit to appear to the left of the 3 suggested Kleo posts.

This is the code I added. But, it still does not work.

[vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text]AD UNIT CODE[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_posts_grid loop="size:3|order_by:date|post_type:post|categories:3" post_layout="small" show_meta="no" show_excerpt="no" show_footer="no"][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Do you have any other suggestions?

You need to put only the short code

[vc_posts_grid loop="size:3|order_by:date|post_type:post|categories:3" post_layout="small" show_meta="no" show_excerpt="no" show_footer="no"]
