Shortcode Usage:

Shortcode parameters (and their defaults):

• title => __return_null() … returns nothing
• theme_slug => wp_get_theme()->get_template() … uses the current theme; the theme name can also be used in place of its slug provided they are similar
• use_screenshot_link => true … displays main screenshot
• show_name => true … displays the theme name
• show_author => true … displays the author name
• show_last_updated => true … displays when the theme was last updated
• show_current_version => true … displays the current theme version
• show_rating => true … displays the current “star” rating of the theme
• show_number_of_ratings => true … displays the number of ratings the theme has received
• show_description => true … displays theme description (this is false by default in the widget section)
• show_downloaded_count => true … displays the total download count
• use_download_link => true … displays a download link pointing to the current version of the theme in the WordPress Theme repository
• show_changelog => true … displays the contents of the theme’s changelog.txt file if it exists
