Creating a shortcode to show vendor biography anywhere on your page

functions.php

<?php
/**
 * Plugin Name: Dokan Vendor Biography Shortcode
 */
add_shortcode( 'dokan_vendor_bio', 'dokan_vendor_bio_shortcode' );
function dokan_vendor_bio_shortcode() {
	$vendor = dokan()->vendor->get( get_query_var( 'author' ) );
	$store_info = $vendor->get_shop_info();
	if ( empty( $store_info['vendor_biography'] ) ) {
		return;
	}
	printf( '%s', apply_filters( 'the_content', $store_info['vendor_biography'] ) );
}


// user vendor bio shortcode on single product page 

add_shortcode( 'dokan_vendor_bio_single', 'dokan_vendor_bio_shortcode_single' );
function dokan_vendor_bio_shortcode_single() {
global $product;
$seller = get_post_field( 'post_author', $product->get_id());
$author = get_user_by( 'id', $seller );
$vendor = dokan()->vendor->get( $seller );

 $store_info = dokan_get_store_info( $author->ID );

 if ( !empty( $store_info['vendor_biography'] ) ) { ?>
     <span class="details">
             <?php printf( $vendor->get_vendor_biography() ); ?>
         </span> 
     <?php
 }
}

use the plugin "snippets", there you can try this code without change directly the function.php

This worked for me and I used to put the store bio in the sidebar of a single store Elementor template.

add_shortcode( 'dokan_vendor_bio', 'dokan_vendor_bio_shortcode' ); function dokan_vendor_bio_shortcode() { $store_user = get_userdata( get_query_var( 'author' ) ); $store_info = dokan_get_store_info( $store_user->ID ); if ( empty( $store_info['vendor_biography'] ) ) { return; } printf( '%s', apply_filters( 'the_content', $store_info['vendor_biography'] ) ); }

Elementor 3.0.10 and Dokan 3.0.8

Hello. code is not working for me.
I tried anyway but it is blank.
I'm using the astra theme, and the latest version of elementor pro and dokan pro.
My product page is made in elementor.
Can someone help me?

Hello @tomaslanzarini,

The code is working fine for me. Kindly make sure that you have inserted the code on your functions.php without the <?php tag and inserted the shortcode correctly.

yes, everything is correct.
I added the code through the "snippets" plugin and called the shortcode by elementor through the specific widget.

could it be an incompatibility with my theme? I use astra. thanks for the attention

I finally got it through the following code :)

/**

• Plugin Name: Dokan Vendor Biography Shortcode
  */
  add_shortcode( 'dokan_vendor_bio', 'dokan_vendor_bio_shortcode' );
  function dokan_vendor_bio_shortcode() {
  global $product;
  $seller = get_post_field( 'post_author', $product->get_id());
  $author = get_user_by( 'id', $seller );
  $vendor = dokan()->vendor->get( $seller );

   $store_info = dokan_get_store_info( $author->ID );
  
   if ( !empty( $store_info['vendor_biography'] ) ) { ?>
       <span class="details">
               <?php printf( $vendor->get_vendor_biography() ); ?>
           </span> 
       <?php
   }
  

  }

the challenge now is to insert the vendor image ( profile image ) , but it is difficult.

Hello,

Great, my code was only for the store page not for the product page. However, I will add your code on the snippet so that people who need can use it ...

Guys, I created a new youtube channel- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi_pjYuycQCC705hdSv52qA . You can subscribe and suggest me if you need any tutorial :)

Cheers!

This code is not working after the latest update. Any suggestions? kulavillage.com is my site

This still doesnt work for me.

Used the code at the top of this page using snippet plugin, activated it, then in elementor placed a shortcode block on my vendor store page above products - with shortcode [dokan_vendor_bio]
Nothing happens.

Hi!
Seller biography on dokan product page made with elemental, no works (
Help?

Works perfectly fine for me. THX mate! :)

I want to add vendor signature field somewhere in setting>store section in vendor dashboard and how to use it's short code to print it on invoice???

think the $store_info array changed a bit. we changed line 8 to $store_info = dokan_get_store_info($vendor->id); you might want to update your code.

My team confirms that this shortcode does not work. Simply shows shortcode on frontend. Pls fix or remove gist. Thanks

We tried your update and it doesn't work either. The entire function is faulty.
