Redux Framework [bloginfo] Shortcode
The Redux-Framework plugin shortcode, ‘bloginfo’, is designed to retrieve and display various blog information based on provided attributes. It operates by checking the ‘data’ attribute and returning the corresponding information. For instance, it can return stylesheet directory, template URLs, text direction, multisite status, and various URLs like home, site, stylesheet, login, register, and lost password. It defaults to returning general blog information if no specific ‘data’ attribute is provided.
Shortcode: [bloginfo]

The Redux-Framework plugin shortcode ‘themeinfo’ retrieves and displays various information about the current theme. By calling the shortcode in your content, you can access details such as theme name, author, version, and more. It also checks if the theme is a child theme. The retrieved data is then returned for display.
Shortcode: [themeinfo]

Here is a list of all possible themeinfo shortcode parameters and attributes:
name– Displays the name of the themethemeuri– Shows the theme’s URItheme_uri– Alternative way to show the theme’s URIdescription– Outputs the theme’s descriptionauthor– Displays the theme’s authorauthoruri– Shows the URI of the theme’s authorauthor_uri– Alternative way to show the author’s URIversion– Outputs the version of the themetemplate– Displays the theme’s templatestatus– Shows the theme’s statustags– Outputs the theme’s tagstextdomain– Displays the theme’s text domaintext_domain– Alternative way to show the theme’s text domaindomainpath– Shows the theme’s domain pathdomain_path– Alternative way to display the theme’s domain pathis_child– Indicates if the theme is a child theme
Examples and Usage
Basic example – Display the theme name using the ‘themeinfo’ shortcode.
[themeinfo data="name" /]Advanced examples
Display the theme’s author and version using the ‘themeinfo’ shortcode. Two separate shortcodes are used to display each piece of information.

redux-framework/redux-framework/redux-core/inc/extensions/shortcodes/class-redux-shortcodes.phpRedux Framework [date] Shortcode
The Redux-Framework plugin shortcode ‘date’ is a handy tool that returns the current date. It takes an optional ‘data’ attribute to format the date. The shortcode starts by checking if ‘atts’ is an array and if ‘content’ is not empty. If ‘content’ is not empty and ‘data’ is not set, it assigns ‘content’ to ‘data’. If ‘data’ is still empty, it defaults to ‘Y’ which represents the current year in PHP. The shortcode then returns the date in the specified format.
Shortcode: [date]
Parameters
Here is a list of all possible date shortcode parameters and attributes:
atts– It’s an optional array that can store various attributes.content– An optional string that provides the custom date format.data– A part of attributes, it sets the date format. Default is ‘Y’.
Examples and Usage
Basic example – A simple usage of the ‘date’ shortcode without any parameters. By default, it will return the current year in ‘Y’ format.
[date /]Advanced examples
Using the ‘date’ shortcode with the ‘data’ parameter. This parameter allows you to specify the format of the date you want to display. In this example, ‘d-m-Y’ will display the current date in the format ‘Day-Month-Year’.
[date data='d-m-Y' /]Another advanced usage of the ‘date’ shortcode is to display the current time along with the date. For this, you can use the ‘H:i:s’ format in the ‘data’ parameter. This will display the current date and time in the format ‘Hour:Minute:Second’.
[date data='d-m-Y H:i:s' /]Lastly, you can also use the ‘date’ shortcode to display the name of the current month by using the ‘F’ format in the ‘data’ parameter.
[date data='F' /]PHP Function Code
In case you have difficulties debugging what causing issues with [date] shortcode, check below the related PHP functions code.
Shortcode line:
add_shortcode( 'date', array( $this, 'date' ) );Shortcode PHP function:
function date( $atts = array(), string $content = null ) {
if ( ! is_array( $atts ) ) {
$atts = array();
}
if ( ! empty( $content ) && ! isset( $atts['data'] ) ) {
$atts['data'] = $content;
}
if ( empty( $atts['data'] ) ) {
$atts['data'] = 'Y';
}
return gmdate( $atts['data'] );
}
