Hi Dee,

Thank you for waiting and no I'm not on holidays.

I did some research and WordPress offers some relatively newer functions, which can be used to first get the ID of image attachment and then it's caption text:

1. attachment_url_to_postid - https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/attachment_url_to_postid/

2. wp_get_attachment_caption - https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_get_attachment_caption/

The shortcode code can be updated to:

add_shortcode( 'ts_caption_new', 'ts_caption_new_func');
function ts_caption_new_func($atts)
{
	$url = $atts['url'];

	$image_id = attachment_url_to_postid( $url );

	if($image_id > 0) {
		$image_caption = wp_get_attachment_caption($image_id);
	}
	if ($image_caption) {
		return $image_caption;
	}
}

This approach is better than querying data directly from the database and should improve performance too.

Please let me know how it goes.

regards,
Waqar

Hi Dee,

I noticed that in your content template "DV Swiper Slider" ( versteckter Link ), a very long content was wrapped inside a conditional block, which is not recommended.
( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/conditional-html-output-in-views/ )

I've broken it down into smaller chunks and the shortcodes inside are now working from that template too. I'm sorry, I should've spotted that issue earlier and this seems to be the reason why I was not able to reproduce this on my own test website.

regards,
Waqar
