Overview

From a single field to entire pages, Custom Content Shortcode is a set of commands to display content where you need.

The [content] shortcode displays any of the following: posts, pages, custom post types, fields, images, menus, or widget areas.

The [loop] shortcode performs query loops. It can display, for example, available products in a category, or excerpts from the 5 most recent posts. You can query by parameters such as: post type, taxonomy, date, and field values.

There is a reference section under Settings -> Custom Content.
