Stuck again. I know that the second item of my add_action statement isn't correct - but am not sure what I should be calling, as my choice paralleling the instruction videio isn't working? Insight? Help?
<?php
function my_plugin_shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) {
global $post;
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'num_courses' => '4',
'tooltip' => 'on'
), $atts ) );
if( $tooltip == 'on' ) $tooltip = 1;
if( $tooltip == 'off' ) $tooltip = 0;
$display_tooltip = $tooltip;
//$options = get_options( 'my_plugin' );
//$my_plugin_profile = $options( 'my_plugin_profile');
ob_start();
require( 'inc/front-end.php' );
$content = ob_get_clean();
return $content;
}
add_shortcode( 'my_plugin_shortcode', 'my_plugin_shortcode');
?>

Courses Plus Student 6,497 PointsI just did the challenge & it tooke me a few tries. This is what worked for me:
<?php function my_plugin_shortcode($atts,$content=null) { return $content; } add_shortcode('$content');
?>
