Útil para cualquier sitio WordPress.
Normalmente cuando se necesita añadir alguna funcionalidad al sitio se tienen 2 opciones por ese orden:
<ol>
<li>Instalar algún plugin que cumpla con las necesidades.</li>
<li>Añadir código al archivo ‘functions.php’ del tema activo.</li>
</ol>
La utilidad de los microplugins está relacionada con el punto 2 de la lista de opciones anterior.
Definimos un microplugin como el fragmento de código que se necesita añadir al archivo ‘functions.php’ del tema activo para conseguir la funcionalidad deseada.
Los microplugins se crean en forma de entradas WordPress y tienen código PHP válido en su contenido.
Añadirle funcionalidad al sitio mediante microplugins tiene las siguientes ventajas: 1. Sus funcionalidades son globales al sitio y no dependen del tema activo por lo que se evita tener que modificar el archivo ‘functions.php’ del mismo. 2. Se tiene en un único lugar y de una forma más organizada el listado de funcionalidades que se han creado. 3. Facilidad a la hora de manipularlos y ver los resultados. 4. Al ser entradas de WordPress cuentan con un control de versiones mediante las revisiones.
El principal problema que se puede presentar a la hora de trabajar con microplugins consiste en que el código introducido por el usuario puede presentar errores fatales y ocasionar que el sitio quede fuera de funcionamiento. Es importante aclarar que en este caso el microplugin sería desactivado automáticamente y el sitio estaría fuera de funcionamiento solo por un instante.
IMPORTANTE: Si en algún momento fuera necesario desactivar los microplugins manualmente, esto se puede hacer borrando todos los archivos existentes en el directorio ‘cache’ de la carpeta del plugin.
IMPORTANTE: Se debe aclarar que los microplugins no producen demora en el sitio tal como se puede pensar inicialmente. Para procesar los mismos se usa un archivo de caché que se puede encontrar en la carpeta ‘cache’.

Create a library of custom shortcodes and reusable content, and seamlessly insert them into your posts and pages for streamlined, consistent site updates. Plus, get a head start with a built-in selection of ready-made shortcodes to use out of the box.
</blockquote>
In addition to inserting them into your content, you can also configure them to automatically appear in your site’s header and footer. Or limit their display to desktop or mobile devices only.
Looking to reuse the same snippet of text or HTML across your website while only updating it in one spot? <a href="https://snippetshortcodes.yeken.uk/" rel="nofollow ugc">Snippet Shortcodes</a> could be exactly what you need. With this tool, you can generate a library of custom shortcodes and embed them into your WordPress content. Using the familiar WordPress editor, you can insert anything from text and HTML to JavaScript, images, or any other elements supported by your theme or plugins. The biggest benefit? You only need to create the shortcode once, and you can then deploy it site-wide, saving time and ensuring consistency.
Quick example
By default, you tend to create content once and then copy and paste it across your site as needed. Later, when updates are required, you have to track down every instance, edit each one individually, and save every page or post – making consistent updates a tedious process. Instead, put a snippet like this into one of our <a href="https://yeken.gitbook.io/snippet-shortcodes/features/own-shortcodes" rel="nofollow ugc">custom shortcodes</a> and get a shortcode you can paste into your content. To update, all you need to do is edit the <a href="https://yeken.gitbook.io/snippet-shortcodes/features/own-shortcodes" rel="nofollow ugc">custom shortcode</a> and your entire site will update consistently.
