'price' => '0'), $atts) );
return $price = number_format($price, 0, ',', ' ');
}
add_shortcode('format_money', 'format_money');

Hi,

I use function https://toolset.com/forums/topic/displaying-price-in-european-format/

function format_money( $atts ) {
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'price' => '0'), $atts) );
return $price = number_format($price, 0, ',', ' ');
}
add_shortcode('format_money', 'format_money');

It works fine, but causes warning in WordPress backend:

Warning: number_format() expects parameter 1 to be float, string given in /.../functions.php on line 204

How to get rid of it?

Hi Dave,

Thank you for getting in touch with us. I tested this code and I am not getting the error you have mentioned. Which type of value you are using -- integer or float or some other format?

You can modify the code as per your need like explained here -- for example if you like to use float value:
