I’m trying to use the {echo: my custom function} directive just to do some testing, but I don’t know if I’m wrong or if it doesn’t work …
I used the same example as the patch notes {echo: get_the_date (‘Y-m-d’, 55)} but it doesn’t print anything to me …the i tryed with {echo:date(‘l’)} and as you can see in image nothing is be compiled…
It is working for me. I tried this
{echo:date('l')}
Make sure “Execute Code” toggle is on.
I’m having the same problem trying to use a Polylang function (pll__ – see Function reference | Polylang) in a regular text element. It just outputs the whole {echo:…} part instead of interpreting it. Any idea what I might miss(understand)?
I tried using the version with single quotes – {echo:pll_(‘Brüder’)} – and the one without them – {echo:pll_(Brüder)}.
Update on this topic: It seems like the umlaut in the argument is the problem. When I use {echo:pll_(Bruder)} or {echo:pll_(‘Bruder’)} it works as expected. Is this expected behaviour or probably a bug, @timmse, @thomas, @luistinygod?
Thanks in advance!

Yes. I have same problem with {echo…} It will bi display the data to top of the left corner on the page.
Here is my bug report post.
Yes. But this is a different problem. Your custom function echoed something while the function I use does not echo anything but returns a value (which is required to be used with the dynamic data tag). In my case it does not seem to work because of the umlaut. So I guess this is some kind of bug / limitation.
