Create a library of reusable terms (strings) and display their contents anywhere on your site with a shortcode.
Library lets you create a library of reusable terms (or strings) without any code necessary and access a term’s content with a shortcode.
You can add a term (just like you’d add a post or page) called “Copyright Line” and its content could be “©2014 Your Company” and then use that anywhere on the site with <code>[library term="copyright-line"]</code> or <code><?php do_shortcode( '[library term="copyright-line"] ); ?></code>.
Because the library terms are a post type they inherit WordPress features like revision history, draft/scheduled/published, ability to change the term slug, full HTML, and so on.
Business Cases
These are real-world examples of how this plugin is being used or could be used. Each of these uses a shortcode to display the most up-to-date version of a term’s content.
A financial institution is advertising an interest rate across many pages on a large website. There are instances of this percentage in content and in templates. Within a matter of seconds all of these numbers can be changed rather than crossing your fingers and hoping you caught all of the rates.
In order to quickly change the price of a fluctuating product a company put their price in a term to update across the whole site.
A health insurance company uses the same disclosures on many pages and UI contexts and keeping them compliant with changing regulations was difficult until they kept them stored in the Library.
The copyright line in the footer of a website might change sometimes to reflect a new year, a new trademark, new ownership, etc.

Have you ever wanted to have string input fields where you can input any string, and then call this from your templates? If so this is the plugin for you! WP-Strings allows you to input strings, that you can then call as many times as you want within your wordpress template.
If you update one of these strings from within the admin section, the string will change accross all of your templates.
For example, if you had a phone number that you used in multipe locations across your theme, but knew it might change, you can put this into the WP-Strings admin panel. You can then reference the telephone number from your template in the required locations and know in confidence that when you change the number in the backend, the telephone number will change across the site.

WP-Strings

This plugin will allow you to input custom fields into the admin control panel, then you will be able to call these strings from your template files.
