Shortcode background and usages
Note: delete or make this page private before the site is live.
- Listing of shortcodes outlined with examples below.
- Where possible, we use parameters/attributes within the shortcode so one shortcode can be used in different scenarios or for different post types.
- Shortcodes should all be kept in the theme/includes/custom-shortcodes.php file or they will be FacetWP shortcodes
- Shortcodes and parameters use WP_Query. Additional information on basic functions i.e. order, orderby, etc can be found in WordPress Codex.
