Creating a shortcode but need to define variable

[amidigital]

This seems to be working except I get this error message…

“Notice: Undefined variable: template_url in /nas/content/live/agblogqa/wp-content/themes/agblog/functions.php on line 648”

My attempt at defining $template_url on the top row.

$template_url = "https://www.qa.apartmentguide.com";

function senior_func( $atts ){
    print "<a href='{$template_url}/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Guide-Banner.jpg'>Link to Banner</a>";
}
add_shortcode( 'senior-guide', 'senior_func' );

I’m no backend developer but isn’t $atts the function thats undefined. Your passing it into the function and it’s not assigned to anything.

use

$atts = shortcode_atts(
        array(
            'template_url' => 'https://www.default-url.com',
        ), $atts
    );

and simply supplying a value. for example [template_url=’https://www.qa.apartmentguide.com’%5D

$template_url = "https://www.qa.apartmentguide.com";

function senior_func( $atts ){
    $atts = shortcode_atts(
        array(
            'template_url' => 'https://www.default-url.com',
        ), $atts
    );
    print "<a href='{$template_url}/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Guide-Banner.jpg'>Link to Banner</a>";
}
add_shortcode( 'senior-guide', 'senior_func' );
