spaces on shortcodes?

[s2pidkaspr]

Hello,

i'm using s2member on my site. And the php conditionals works fine and so does the shortcodes. But, whenever I put two shortcodes, there is always some big space gap (where the shortcode is there).

For example I write this:

[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
Some content for Members who are logged in with an s2Member Level >= 1.
[/s2If]
[s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
Some public content.
[/s2If]

Those members who are with s2member accounts will NOT see the "Some public content" area. But rather see a big white space as if the shortcode is supposed in there.

While those area for public will NOT see the "Some content for Members" area. But rather see a big white space as if the shortcode is supposed in there.

PHP conditionals is not doing this. If the content is not visible for that user, they won't see a big white space in there. So, i'm wondering, why shortcode is doing this? Anyway to fix this? Thanks

If that's the case, then it'd be a problem with the way WordPress parses the shortcodes. Does it still leave the big empty space if you put the shortcodes one right next to the other?

Code: Select all

[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
Some content for Members who are logged in with an s2Member Level >= 1.
[/s2If][s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
Some public content.
[/s2If]

Some public content.
[/s2If]

hmmm...weird...when i do that, only the content for members are triggered, and the public content is showing

[s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
Some public content.
[/s2If]

Just like that on the site. Meaning to say, it doesn't do the coding. But when i put it down just like before:

[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
Some content for Members who are logged in with an s2Member Level >= 1.
[/s2If]
[s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
Some public content.
[/s2If]

Both code works but just like I said, it will have some big spaces in there when it shouldn't be.

Hmm. I thought I had new reply here. So any ideas?

I guess it's a WP shortcode parsing problem, sorry.

You can use PHP instead, then.

[s2pidkaspr]

But I cant use php on that page i'm trying to put shortcodes on. Or is it suggested to use a plugin that allows php on post and use s2member's php code on post's instead of shortcode? Would that be fine? Would it conflict or anything?

[Cristián Lávaque]

That'd be fine. You can use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/ Just remember to stick to the HTML editor when you use PHP, don't open the Visual editor or it'll mess up your code.

Now that works like a charm. Thanks. It doesn't have any spaces now. That plugin really did the trick. Thanks again.
