Shortcode Example Page

Custom WordPress Shortcodes

Shortcodes are executed by wrapping a text string between square brackets. This text string acts as a “key” that executes the shortcode. Shortcodes are entered into the content area like this: [short-code].

Below is a list of custom shortcodes based on the input fields of the “Short Codes” admin area of the WordPress Dashboard:
