WordPress plugin information shortcode

Using WP Plugin Information Shortcode you can simply add information and statistics about your plugin to any page or post on your WordPress powered website.

Simply find the slug to your plugin on wordpress.org, which will be the last section of the URL, usually formatted as my-plugin-name, then add the shortcode [wpplugin slug=”my-plugin-name”] to the desired location of your blog.

Arbitrary section

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
3. Add the shortcode [wpplugin slug=”my-plugin-name”] to the desired location on your blog

How do I find my plugin slug
