Title: Code Categories Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Code Categories * [mikaelamaria](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikaelamaria/) * (@mikaelamaria) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-categories/) * Hi, I have the latest version and now it works fine and I see all the questions. When I add the code [faq] I can instead put a code that gives me a certain category only? Or two categories? * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-awesome-faq/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-awesome-faq/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-categories/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-categories/page/2/?output_format=md) * [JeremyCh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeremych/) * (@jeremych) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-categories/#post-4317363) * I wanted the same thing. * [faq cat=1] or [faq cat=1,5] would be great. That way we can filter things and have multiple faq pages on the same website. * [madmottscott](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madmottscott/) * (@madmottscott) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-categories/#post-4317364) * Hi guys, I wanted to do the same thing, its a great plugin. * Here is how you can modify the shortcode function to have this capability: in/ wp-content/plugins/wp-awesome-faq/index.php around line 87 * After: * ``` function h2cweb_accordion_shortcode($atts) { // Registering the scripts and style ``` * ADD: `extract( shortcode_atts( array('theslug' => 'general-questions'), $atts,' faq' ) );` * Edit the following line that reads: * `$args = array( 'posts_per_page' => 50, 'post_type' => 'faq', 'faq_cat'=>"$theslug",' order'=>'DESC');` * to read: `$args = array( 'posts_per_page' => 50, 'post_type' => 'faq', 'faq_cat' =>"$theslug", 'order'=>'DESC');` * Once you have edited those two lines, you can use the shortcode like this: [ faq theslug=’YOURSLUG’] Where ‘YOURSLUG’ is the category slug. * Also, you can set the default slug in the line that you added first. My default slug in the example above is ‘general-questions’. This is the slug that will be pulled if one isn’t specified in the short code. * Hope that helps!! -Scott * [Cat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catscholz74/) * (@catscholz74) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-categories/#post-4317366) * if I make this modification to the plugin, will it get lost in the next auto update? Is the developer planning on adding this feature to the next release? * Thanks, -Cat * [madmottscott](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madmottscott/) * (@madmottscott) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-categories/#post-4317367) * Hi Catherine, The modification would get overwritten if you updated the plugin. Not if you updated wordpress. * Plugins don’t tend to auto-update, its usually your choice, so you would be safe. * All that said, i’m not sure how active development is on this plugin, and if it will be updated in the future. * Thanks! -Scott * [Cat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catscholz74/) * (@catscholz74) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-categories/#post-4317368) * Thanks Scott – I’ll be sure not to update this plugin. I made your mods and the FAQs are not showing on product pages – see this example: * [http://victorybox.org/product/victory-box/](http://victorybox.org/product/victory-box/) * I am using this code in the product short description: [faq theslug=victory- box] * and I’ve added this code to the index.php: // Registering the scripts and style extract( shortcode_atts( array(‘theslug’ => ‘about’), $atts, ‘faq’ ) ); * // Getting FAQs from WordPress Awesome FAQ plugin’s Custom Post Type questions $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ‘post_type’ => ‘faq’, ‘faq_cat’=>”$theslug”,‘ order’=>”DESC”); $query = new WP_Query( $args ); * It’s pulling the default category, but not the one I created for the product. Am I missing something? * Thanks! * -Cat * [madmottscott](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madmottscott/) * (@madmottscott) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-categories/#post-4317369) * Hi Cat, I don’t see anything that jumps out, except for quotes on your short code. Try changing that to `[faq theslug='victory-box']` and see if that helps. * Thanks! -Scott * [Cat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catscholz74/) * (@catscholz74) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-categories/#post-4317370) * thanks Scott – the product editor is not accepting the quotes – it changes them into: ' even though I put the code in the text editor (not the visual). * I wonder if there is a way to do this by category ID number without using quotes? * thanks so much, * -cat * [wpatch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpatch/) * (@wpatch) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-categories/#post-4317373) * Catherine and Scott, * Same thing on this end…displaying the default category only. Short code is certainly right on my end (proper quotes). * Scott any chance we are missing a step? * [evandroguedes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evandroguedes/) * (@evandroguedes) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-categories/#post-4317374) * Hi Cat / wpatch, * I have the same issue here. Just remove the default slug from shortcode_atts() method: * Change that line: ` extract( shortcode_atts( array('theslug' => 'general-questions'), $atts, 'faq' ) ); * To: ` extract( shortcode_atts( array('theslug' => ''), $atts, 'faq' ) ); * =) * [wpatch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpatch/) * (@wpatch) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-categories/#post-4317375) * Evan, * Thanks for the response…didn’t do it for me either. Still outputs all not the category trying to filter: * Here is my wp-awesome-faq/index.php [http://pastebin.com/5di24Vhp](http://pastebin.com/5di24Vhp) * I have three categories with slugs: appraisal – landlord – tenant * Short code: [faq theslug=’appraisal’] still out puts all: [http://welchgroup.net/index.php/appraisal-faq-new/](http://welchgroup.net/index.php/appraisal-faq-new/) * [evandroguedes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evandroguedes/) * (@evandroguedes) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-categories/#post-4317376) * Hi wpatch, * On the line 87 change this: * ` function h2cweb_accordion_shortcode() { * for: * ` function h2cweb_accordion_shortcode($atts) { * =) * [wpatch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpatch/) * (@wpatch) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-categories/#post-4317377) * That did it! * Thanks for the help! * wp * [Cat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catscholz74/) * (@catscholz74) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-categories/#post-4317378) * thanks but now the FAQ is gone from the product… ?
