Post Content Shortcode allows you to display the content of any post using a shortcode like:
[post_content id=”123″]
This is useful for reusing content in multiple places, referencing another post inline, or including dynamically updated blocks of content.
You can configure which post statuses are allowed to be embedded from the plugin’s settings page under Settings → Post Content Shortcode.
<h3>Usage</h3>
Use the shortcode like this:
[post_content id=”123″]
Where <code>123</code> is the ID of the post you want to embed.
To avoid infinite loops, the plugin prevents a post from including itself.
Only posts with selected statuses (e.g. Published, Draft) will be rendered. You can control this from the plugin settings page.
<h3>Customizing the Shortcode Tag</h3>
By default, the shortcode tag is <code>post_content</code>. You can change it by adding this to your theme’s <code>functions.php</code> file:
add_filter( ‘herron_pcs_shortcode_tag’, function( $tag ) { 
 return ‘my_custom_shortcode’; 
});
After doing so, use the new tag:
[my_custom_shortcode id=”123″]
The settings page and all logic will automatically respect this change.
