Adds shortcodes [blogurl], [posturl], [templateurl], and [childtemplateurl] for WordPress 2.6 and up. Use [blogurl] to generate your site URL. It offers the parameters “slash” and “noslash” (to add a trailing slash; [templateurl] and [childtemplateurl] also support this), as well as “uploads” to produce the URL of the uploads folder and “wordpress” to produce the URL of your WP files. Use [posturl id=3] (replace “3” with a post ID) to generate the permalink for any post.

Joe Hall

A shortcode to display the value of a parameter in a URL query string. Lets say that you have a URL like so: http://joehall.me/thank/?fname=John and you want to print the value for “fname” in the text of the page. Then all you need to do is install this plugin and use the following shortcode where ever you’d like to print that value: [parameters q=”fname”]
