Wordpress shortcodes

[net-curtains]

Just creating a shortcode that creates a box around selected content. I've been following the tutorial here: http://www.tuttoaster.com/how-to-use-style-and-implement-wordpress-shortcodes/

It kind of works, but I'm getting an unwanted ';' at the beginning of the text in the box.

Here's the code for the functions.php file:

Code:

function box($atts, $content = null) {
return '<div class="box">;'.$content.'</div>';
}
add_shortcode('box', 'box');

I've played around with it a bit, and did mange to lose the additional character but it also broke the WP admin as a side effect.

Any help appreciated

return '<div class="box">;'.$content.'</div>';

should be

return '<div class="box">' . $content . '</div>';

Punch yourself in the nuts.

return '<div class="box">;'.$content.'</div>';

should be

return '<div class="box">' . $content . '</div>';

Punch yourself in the nuts.

I thought it was that, that was the bit I changed which fixed the resulting html but sent WP bonkers. Looks like I must have had something else wrong in the functions code as it's all fine now. The bit pasted above though is copied directly from the tutorial.

Thanks - nuts punched!
