Hide This [hide] Shortcode

The Hide_This shortcode is a handy tool in WordPress. It enables users to selectively hide certain content on their site. This shortcode works by creating a new instance of the Hide_This class, passing in the attributes and content. The ‘__get’ method then retrieves the ‘content’ property, effectively hiding the specified content.

Shortcode: [hide]
