Description

Create Gutenberg Blocks for custom created shortcodes.
A clean, powerful and lightweight way to generate and include custom shortcodes with:
* HTML/PHP code.
* CSS code.
* Javascript code.
* PHP backend code for Ajax calls.
* CSS and Javascript files.
* Other resources files: images, pdfs, …

  • The plugin doesn’t interfere with the wordpress database. Nothing is wrote there. Very lightweight.
  • Ajax calls are secured with nonces. (https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/theme-security/using-nonces/)
  • Shortcodes can be inserted in post, pages, text widgets and html widgets.
  • Shortcodes can be enabled/disabled individually.
  • Custom CSS and Javascript files required for the shortcode are enqueued in the head section.
  • Clean and efficient: Nothing about any saved shortcode is executed if the shortcode is not present in the current frontend page.
  • Shortcodes can be used to inject some kind of php, javascript, css or ajax (php) code.
  • Repository of already made shortcodes in the plugin page: http://shortcodescreator.com

***** WARNING ********
– Please, if you come from version less than 1.9.7 you must backup the shortcodes before upgrading the plugin and restore them after upgrade.

***** TIP ********
– Due to the flexibility of the shortcode creation, an invalid code can broke your site. If so, you can activate safe mode on a per-page basis by appending ?safe-mode=true to the URL. In this manner, it disables the execution of all the shortcodes created.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/plugin-name directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are the shortcodes stored ?

Shortcodes have a fixed files an directories structure under the uploads directory. All data is stored inside each shortcode directory. The name of the folder is the name of the [shortcode].

Can I request a feature ?

Yes, you can contact with me at [email protected].

Will I lose my shortcodes if I change the theme or upgrade WordPress?

No, the shortcodes are stored in the uploads directory and they are independent of the theme and unaffected by WordPress upgrades. They will be only erased if you uninstall the plugin.

Will I lose my shortcodes if I update the plugin?

No after version 1.9.7, because they are stored in the uploads directory which only will be removed if uninstall the plugin.
If you upgrade from version less than 1.9.7 you must backup the shortcodes and restore after the upgrade.

Can't Add New Shortcodes of my Own

I can use the existing tutorial shortcuts but as they can only be used visually unlike other similar products, can't use any shortcuts that I have created. The probable reason is the icon editor/selector is broken and it wants an icon to display (or else, I'd call that a bug, should default) This looks like a very powerful product let down by zero documentation, not even the basic basics. I'm giving it one star as support emails are unanswered.
