11 is the priority. The default priority that most existing filters use is 10 (including wpautop()). We’re trying to make sure this runs AFTER all of those so we set it to 11. Any number greater than 10 would work, but if you make it too high (like 999) it’s likely that other plugins will do stuff between wpautop() and our filter.

[...] That’s it, add_filter will be filter your text widget. So, when you put some shortcode (example [ gallery ] in your text widget. The code will be processed by WordPress system. Another useful source about shortcode here [...]

Can you explain to me what 11 number mean on
add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘do_shortcode’, 11); // AFTER wpautop()

What will happen when I changed 11 with 10 or 20?

Great Article!
Bookmarked this page for further use.
I have planned to use shortcodes for a while now.

Finally i can start doing that because your article made this a lot cleared:)

I just started with using WordPress, but I have a broad background in computers and used to fabricate websites (ages ago) in NotePad and Internet Explorer. My reaction upon learning a bit about WordPress? “Where you been all my life!” LOL

I am dealing with an “assumed knowledge” issue (I suspect) where I understand what shortcodes do and, to a degree, how to implement them. The problem I have is that I’ve not had that Gestalten “ahah!” moment yet about how to apply, wp-ImageFlow2, in a page! I downloaded and activated the widget and then…. I have no idea. I tend to edit my pages in HTML, so how do I implement the widget’s function on a page? I added some images to a gallery. I know where they’re located. So I just… what?

I’m sure it’s probably simple, but for whatever reason, it’s non-obvious to me. Help!

thanks, that quick note about creating custom shortcode saved me a lot of time.
I’m not a programmer or developer… but know my way around a bit… so…

Added to functions.php file. and roaring away now…
excellent!

cheers.
And many thanks.
Vince.

Did you ever get this to work for you? I’m attempting to do the something similar.

I have multiple widgets registered (named uniquely), and one widget per dynamic sidebar.

1) example shortcode functions:
function archive_shortcode() { dynamic_sidebar(‘archive’); };
add_shortcode( ‘archive’, ‘archive_shortcode’ );

function tags_shortcode() {
echo ‘What’s Going On?’;
$tags=wp_tag_cloud( );
return $tags;
echo ”;
};
add_shortcode( ‘tags’, ‘tags_shortcode’ );

2) example of calling shortcode in page:
[archive]
[tags]
