How Do I Add a Shortcode in WordPress?

Adding a shortcode in WordPress is easy. To add a shortcode, first activate the editor by clicking on the “WordPress” menu item in your WordPress admin area, and then clicking on “Shortcodes”.

Once the Shortcodes editor is open, you will see a list of all the shortcodes that are currently available. To add a new shortcode, click on the “New” button, and then enter the shortcode code into the editor.

To use a shortcode, you first need to include it in your post or page. To do this, simply insert the shortcode into the content of your post or page, like so:

[shortcode name]

For example, you could use the “color” shortcode to change the color of a text box or input field:

[color name]

You can also use shortcodes to create custom menus, header tags, and other bits of text. Just insert the shortcode into your post or page, and then specify the parameters that you want to use.
