Using a WordPress loop to pull images directly from the WordPress Media Library and displaying them with a shortcode.
A crucial part of filtering the images you want to show from the rest of what is in your media library is done by attaching a taxonomy to the media library items. This has the added benefit of creating the foundation needed to allow for filtering of the gallery on the front end as well.
I have a little WordPress plugin I use on some of my sites and it employs shortcodes. The shortcodes are not self-closing and they are wrapped in more shortcodes. They’re nested shortcodes. Using them looks like this:
[ltabjes talen="Taal Language"][ltab taal="Taal"]
Content
[/ltab][ltab taal="Language"]
More content
[/ltab][/ltabjes]WordPress wraps p-tags around each of these shortcode tags, and adds more p-tags inside the shortcodes, adding more space than is wanted. All those empty p-tags are a drag. The shortcode_unautop function removes the outer paragraph tags, but not the inner ones. I don’t want to remove wpautop altogether because the content in the shortcode might still need it. How to solve this?
