In the Shortcode window that opens, you’ll need to provide the following information:

Name – The name you’ll give to the shortcode

– A brief description of the shortcode Function – The function that the shortcode will perform

– The function that the shortcode will perform Arguments – The arguments that the function will accept

– The arguments that the function will accept Output – Where the shortcode will output its results

Once you’ve filled in all of the information in the Shortcode window, click on the “Create” button to create the shortcode.

Now that you’ve created the shortcode, you’ll need to add it to your post or page. To do this, click on the “Insert” menu item and then select “Shortcode” from the menu.

Next, locate the shortcode you just created and click on the “Insert” button.

Now, you’ll need to provide the following information:

Once you’ve filled in all of the information in the Shortcode window, click on the “Publish” button to insert the shortcode into your post or page.

That’s all there is to it! The shortcode will now be active on the page or post you’ve inserted it into.

To use the shortcode, you’ll need to provide the function name and the arguments that the function will accept. To do this, you can either enter the function name into the “Function” field or you can use the WordPress function search to find the function.

Once you’ve found the function you want to use, enter the function name and the arguments into the “Function” and “Arguments” fields, respectively.

Finally, click on the “Publish” button to insert the shortcode into your post or page.
