To extend WordPress’ functionality, you might consider adding a shortcode plugin to your site. In this week’s edition of “Plugged In,” we look at various shortcode plugins to assist you with adding new features to your site.
Shortcodes allow you to execute code on posts, pages, etc. without having to directly write code. Instead, you can use these nifty little pieces of code that will execute a larger command out of sight. Want to know more? Here are some shortcode plugins you might consider activating.
