Using Ad Inserter to place shortcode

    Hi,

    I’d like to insert a reusable blocked using a shortcode and Ad Inserter to enable me to filter the pages it appears on as using a reusable block on the post template places it on every page which I don’t want.

    Can anyone help me with the code? I’m trying the following in Ad Inserter but it isn’t working:

    <div>
<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>[reblex id='12178']</code></pre>
</div>

    Happy to hear of any alternative suggestions of achieving this as well.

    Many thanks,

    Adam

    Shortcode [adinserter data='reusable-block-N'] will generate reusable block with id N (it is also possible to use shortcode [adinserter name='reusable block name']).

    Thanks for your quick response. So the code options I have are:

    Shortcode: [reblex id=’12178] or PHP function: reblex_display_block(12178)

    How would I actually place either of these in Ad Inserter to display the block which has already been created in WordPress?

    Many thanks,

    WP shortcodes can be used directly, the plugin calls WP function do_shortcode (). to expand them. PHP code needs to be inside PHP tags <?php ... ?> and PHP processing needs to be enabled:

    Thanks for this. So can I just paste [reblex id=12178] directly into Ad Inserter? It doesn’t seem to be working.

    Sorry, I’m not familiar with doing this.

    Many thanks,

    Yes. For support on the shortcode I can’t help you much as Ad Inserter only calls WP function do_shortcode () to expand it. I would suggest asking their support to confirm this is all that is needed.

    Thanks once again. It seems that the shortcode might be the problem. I’ll follow this up with them.

    Sorry, just to add, when I paste the shortcode even the brackets surrounding it are in red suggesting a problem? Do I need to add any other code? Thanks

    No, use the shortcode as it is.

    Thanks. This is what it looks like, but it seems there’s a problem:
