Template Tag Shortcodes is a plugin that turns many of the WordPress <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags" title="WordPress template tags" rel="nofollow ugc">template tags</a> into easy-to-use shortcodes.
This plugin was created so end users could make use of the template tags within their posts and pages. Currently, this plugin creates 40+ shortcodes for use. Not all template tags are available as shortcodes, but you are more than welcome to request others be added.
See the FAQ or the included <code>readme.html</code> for a list of all available shortcodes.
<h3>What are the parameters for each shortcode?</h3>
There are several parameters for many shortcodes and none for others. Each shortcode represents its equivalent template tag. A list of the available parameters for each shortcode is included in the plugin’s <code>readme.html</code> file.

The Display Pages Shortcode was written to allow users to easily display listings of pages without knowing PHP or editing template files, it is based heavily on the [display-posts] shortcode by Bill Erickson.
Add the shortcode in a post or page, and use the arguments to query based on tag, id, post type, and many other possibilities (see the Arguments). I’ve also added some extra options to display something more than just the title: include_date, include_excerpt, and image_size.
See the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Codex</a> for information on using the arguments.
