Smart WYSIWYG Blocks Of Content [smartblock] Shortcode

The Smart Wysiwyg Blocks of Content (SWBOC) shortcode is a powerful tool that fetches and displays specific content blocks. Using the shortcode [smartblock], you can retrieve any ‘smartblock’ post type by its ID. It temporarily removes the ‘prepend_attachment’ filter, applies ‘the_content’ filter to the post content, and then reinstates the ‘prepend_attachment’ filter. This ensures the content is displayed as intended. The shortcode then returns the processed content.

Shortcode: [smartblock]

Parameters

Here is a list of all possible smartblock shortcode parameters and attributes:

• id – Specifies the unique identifier of the smartblock post

Examples and Usage

Basic example – Displaying a smart block by referencing its ID.

Advanced examples

Using the shortcode to display multiple smart blocks by referencing their IDs. It will load each block in the order they are listed.

[smartblock id="1,2,3" /]

Using the shortcode to display a smart block by referencing its ID within a post or page. This allows you to embed the smart block within your content.

[smartblock id=1 /]
