A WordPress shortcode is a small piece of PHP code that allows you to quickly add elements to your website’s page and post.
There are six default WordPress shortcodes:
👉 Audio
👉 Playlist
👉 Gallery
👉 Video
👉 Embed
👉 Caption
However, you can also create new shortcodes to help you publish articles faster and more efficiently. So, let’s see how to create a custom WordPress shortcode.
1️⃣ Create a New Theme File
👉 Access a File Manager or FTP client and create a custom-shortcodes.php file inside your theme’s directory. Add the necessary block of code.
👉 Save changes and delete the local file option. Then, add the code at the bottom of the functions.php file.
2️⃣ Create the Shortcode Function
👉 Open the custom-shortcode.php file and insert the desired action. In this video, we’re adding social media links to a post.
Right after that, add a callback function so WordPress knows the action is a shortcode:
3️⃣ Test the Custom Shortcode
👉 Create a new post on your WordPress website and insert the custom shortcode:
[subscribe]
4️⃣ Add Parameters to the WordPress Shortcode
👉 Open the custom-shortcodes.php file and add a code snippet so that you can customize the links within the shortcode tag.
5️⃣ Test the Parameters
👉 Let’s test the parameters by adding the shortcodes to your WordPress post.
6️⃣ Create an Enclosing WordPress Shortcode
👉 Open your custom-shortcode.php file and add the necessary lines of code
7️⃣ Add the Enclosing Shortcode to the Website
👉 For the Facebook anchor text:
[subscribe link=' / ' ]Facebook[/subscribe]
👉 For the Twitter anchor text:
[subscribe link=' Hostinger?s=20/']Twitter[/subscribe]

Thank you for the tutorial Victoria!
You are so welcome! 🙏🏻
My site is hosted on hostinger, stuck at one point. I have multiple shortcodes but want to show in a single page but based on drop-down selection. Currently created a bunch of pages , i.e. a page for a shortcode. Please suggest.
Nice
I want to create a short code for City and State. How to do that?
ok
Ok here is the other side: I've inherited a website to admin and it is strewn with short-codes. How do I find the object represented by the short-code. In the editor all I see is the short-code.
Hey there! You can try using the Gutenberg block editor, which has drag-and-drop functionality and a better visual preview of the content than using WordPress shortcodes. Here's how to use it: www.hostinger.com/tutorials/gutenberg-wordpress 😊

@@HostingerAcademy But that is not what my issue is. I have a whole list of short-code IDs. How do I find the source page that is pointed to. Also, I don't do FB!
Hello that such a great video I congratulate you, an apology if there is any mistake in writing, but I am from Mexico, and my English is not very good, I am supporting the translator, and well I would like to see if you were so kind to be able to guide me with the following, I have an online academy with wordpress woocommerce and LernDash, and well my problem is that the payment gateway I do with WooCommerce and then I link the courses with the products, and in the store the products come out, but I really do not like the format it has, I have seen some templates that look great because the photo of the author of the course comes out, the name, etc, but I can't do it in the woocommerce product That's why I thought about touching the PHP code, to see if I could add those data I need, the name of the author, the image if it is enrolled etc, these I guess are shorcodes of lerndash, and well in conclusion not to get dizzy (Jejejeje), It would be how I can add those shorcodes in the WooCommerce product to create a more attractive product sheet, p.s. I can not put the templates that I liked, because they are not compatible with lerndash, thank you very much for the attention you can give to this message, in advance

did you figure out solution for this? I have same problem
You can just add it in at the very bottom. its a closing tag like in html. Anyway it shouldnt even matter if its there or not. Except if the file contains more then just php like for example html.
Nice
