[Resolved] Basic Shortcode Not Rendering Inside Section

[Beau]

At this point, I’m just testing a very simple shortcode to bring some text on a full width banner section on the homepage. Eventually it will be used to bring in custom code for styling Advanced Custom Fields.

Here’s the code I have in my child theme’s functions.php file:

function test_function() {
	echo "TEST";
}
add_shortcode('test', 'test_function');

The shortcode prints the text, but it ends up outside of the section. Thoughts?

You’ll want to use ob_start() and ob_get_clean().

For example, can the “Output” section of this page: https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API

Let me know if you need more info 🙂
