    Hello,

    Access to my website is in Private Content.

    I have added a function in my child theme’s functions.php file, at the bottom. After the function ends, I have defined a variable, $distance. When I add echo $distance; to the bottom of the functions.php page, the variable’s value displays at the top of my website. This shows that the function and variable are working correctly. However, when I edit a page (testing on a page called VARIABLE TEST) and add an Enfold “Code Block” with the content <?php echo $distance; ?> , the variable’s value does not display. How can I properly display the value of a variable within an Enfold “Code Block” ?

    Thanks!

    Hey,

    I commented out

    
echo $distance;

    and added following code in functions.php file of your child theme

    function distance_sc(){
	global $distance;
	$output = "<span class='distance-info'>". $distance . "</span>";
	return $output;
}
add_shortcode( 'distance', 'distance_sc' );

    You can use following shortcode to display your variable

    
[distance]

    Best regards,
