Does your site contain shortcut codes? You’re here. This guide provides ways to add shortcut codes to word press and provides some examples to take full advantage of these shortcut codes. Since the shortcut code was added to the text imprinter in version 2.5, users have been using the shortcut code to perform all types of customization. Shortcut code is very useful. You can run specific code almost anywhere in posts, pages and websites. Moreover, it is very easy for inexperienced users to use. What is a shortcut? The shortcut code always triggers the code segment specified by the shortcut code name enclosed in parentheses, as shown below: [shortcode-name]
The code that runs each shortcut code depends on how the shortcut code is generated. Many plug-ins provide their own shortcut code, and WordPress includes some by default. Best of all, you can use the WP shortcut API to generate custom shortcut code. Shortcut code allows you to insert scripts into all locations of the site, so it is a good tool for developers. When using the same script multiple times, you can use the same short code without repeating the code. This helps save time and keep your code clean.
Shortcut code can also use values that are similar to parameters in functions. [shortcode val1 = \
Finally, there are various types of shortcut codes for inserting galleries, woocommerce products, forms, images, etc. Each shortcut code is different and performs different operations. If you need more information, please check this complete shortcut code guide. Now that we have a better understanding of what shortcut code is, let’s take a look at how to add shortcut code to the WordPress site. Before you start adding shortcuts to WordPress, note that each shortcut is different, so it may or may not have a value. These values are unique to each shortcut and are passed to the code to get the desired results.
As mentioned earlier, there are many types of shortcuts, and the woocommerce shortcut is the most common. For example, each time you paste the woocommerce_cart] shopping basket, the [woocommerce_cart] shortcut code will be displayed. To test, paste the shortcut code on the post or page, or enter [woocommerce_cart]. Then look at the front end and display the bathroom shopping cart where the shortcut code is inserted. Note: you will edit some key files, so it is recommended to make a full backup of the site and create sub themes before you start. It can be created programmatically or using these plug-ins.
Add WordPress shortcuts with values now let’s learn how to add shortcuts with values using the default Gallery WordPress shortcuts. Gallery shortcut code displays visual images and supports multiple values. To specify an image to display in a picture library, you must include an ID value. This parameter takes the ID and displays a specific image. For example, to display an image with IDS 720, 729, 731, 732, add a shortcut code to the post or page: [ gallery ids=”729,732,731
Let’s take a look at how to create custom shortcut code with scripts. For logged in and logged out users, after another message is displayed, the script creates a shortcut code and prints the message to the user. In order to make it more interesting, we apply different message display conditions to login users and logout users\/* Short code login**
add_shortcode(‘loggedin’,’QuadLayers_shortcode_loggedin’);
Function quadlayers_shortcode_loggedin ($ATTS){
if(is_user_logged_in()==true){
$response = \
}
Another{
$response = \
}
Return $response.
}Use if to check whether the user logs in. If so, the message \
Function of $code \{
$a = shortcode_atts( array(‘id’ => ”,), $atts );
$args = array(‘post_type’ => ‘post’,’p’ => $a[‘id’]);
$query = new wp_query ($args);
$query->the_post();
$string = ‘
‘. get_the_title().’ 
‘ ;
$string.= the_post_thumbnail();
$string .= get_the_content();
Return $string;
}In this example, we added the shortcut code [get post], as shown below: Run other shortcut codes under logical conditions. This example will generate custom shortcut codes to run other shortcut codes under logical conditions. Custom shortcut codes display various forms generated by the contact form plug-in. Therefore, different forms are printed for login users and logout users. add_shortcode(‘show-form’,’QuadLayers_custom_shortcode’);
Function quadlayers_custom_shortcode(){
if(is_user_logged_in()==true){
$response = \
$response.=’ [wpforms]’;
}
Another{
$response = \
$response.=’ [wpforms]’;
}
echo do_shortcode($response);
}Again, use conditional if to check whether the user is logged in and display a specific form based on it. When generating note shortcut code, data is always returned. Eco may cause some problems, such as where the content should be displayed. do_shortcode(); The function works well in most template files, but it needs echo, so some problems may occur. Provides shortcut code that many plug-ins can freely use. However, some shortcuts may not work in posts, pages, or titles, footnotes, or sidebar components. It depends on how complex the shortcut code is and how it is built. When using a custom shortcut in the gutenberk editor, if there are some errors, the shortcut is incompatible with gutenberk. In any case, it can work on the front end and switch to the main editor to eliminate this error
