Shortcoder — Create Shortcodes for Anything [sc] Shortcode

The Shortcoder plugin shortcode is a dynamic tool that executes a specific function, dictated by the defined attributes. This shortcode checks if any shortcodes are defined. If not, it returns a comment, ‘No shortcodes are defined’. It then identifies the shortcode based on the given attributes. If the shortcode is not an array or if it’s nested within itself, the shortcode is returned directly. Otherwise, the shortcode content is modified based on the display condition, shortcode parameters, WordPress parameters, and custom fields. The modified content is then returned. The shortcode also triggers actions before and after its execution.

Shortcode: [sc]

Examples and Usage

Basic example – A simple usage of the shortcode could be to display a specific post by referencing its ID.

[sc id="123" /]

Advanced examples

1. Using the shortcode to display a post by referencing both ID and post type. The shortcode will first try to load the post by its ID, but if not found, it will try to load by post type.

[sc id="123" type="post" /]

2. You can also use the shortcode to display a specific part of a post, such as the title, by using the ‘part’ attribute.

[sc id="123" part="title" /]

3. The shortcode can be used to display multiple posts by specifying their IDs separated by commas.

[sc id="123,456,789" /]

4. You can also use the shortcode to display posts from a specific category by using the ‘category’ attribute.

[sc category="news" /]

5. The shortcode can be used to display posts in a specific order by using the ‘order’ attribute. The value can be ‘asc’ for ascending order or ‘desc’ for descending order.

[sc category="news" order="desc" /]

These examples illustrate the flexibility and power of shortcodes. With the right parameters, you can display any content you want in any way you want.
