 * Hi everybody,
    I’m trying to add a shortcode (gtranslate flag) into a div in 
   top left header.
 * I tried some function but anyone work, can you help me please?
    MY DIV IS :
 *     ```
       div class="header__info__items-left"
       ```
   
 * MY SHORTCODE IS: do_shortcode(‘[gtranslate]’)
 *     ```
       /*FUNCTION 1
       add_action( 'woo_post_inside_before',     'woo_add_custom' ); 
   
       function woo_add_custom() { 
   
       if (is_single()) {
           echo '<div class="header__info__items-left">'.echo do_shortcode('[gtranslate]').'</div>';
       }
   
       /*FUNCTION 2
   
       add_action( 'woo_post_inside_before',     'woo_add_custom' ); 
   
       function woo_add_custom() { 
   
       if (is_single()) {
           ?>
       <div class="header__info__items-left"><?php echo do_shortcode('[gtranslate]'); ?></div>
           <?php
       }
   
       /*FUNCTION 3
       function addflags_div() {
           if ( is_page() ) {
               ?>
               <div class="header__info__items-left"><?php echo do_shortcode('[gtranslate]'); ?></div>
               <?php
           }
       }
       add_action( 'addflags_top', 'addflags_div' );
       ```

 * I’m assuming you tried both 1 & 2, but not both at the same time, since in PHP
   you cannot redeclare a function with the same name. Both appear to be independently
   valid (but not together). You do need to remove the second `echo` in #1. Define
   WP_DEBUG as true to catch blunders like this.
 * I question if ‘woo_post_inside_before’ is a valid action. Do you actually see
   a `do_action()` call somewhere using that name? Or is it well documented somewhere?
 * It could be is_single() is inapplicable. As a test, add `|| true` to the conditional
   so there’s always output if the action is valid.

 * Hi [@bcworkz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcworkz/) thank you.
    Yes, 
   I tried them one at a time
 * #function 1
    – I deleted 2° echo – I added define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true ); – <?php
   echo do_shortcode(‘[gtranslate]’); ?> is the code from gtranslate plugin official
   to use the shortode by php – I tried to change is_single with is_page
 * But I can’t see debugging, I don’t understand why
    So, now is this one but doesn’t
   work yet
 *     ```
       add_action( 'woo_post_inside_before', 'woo_add_custom' ); 
   
       function woo_add_custom() { 
   
       if (is_page()) {
           echo '<div class="header__info__items-left">'.do_shortcode('[gtranslate]').'</div>';
       }}
       define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
       ```

 * There’s already a WP_DEBUG definition in wp-config.php as false. You need to 
   change it there. We’re not allowed to re-define constants like this one.
