Add shortcode buttons to your WordPress editor to make shortcode inserting really easy.

Options

There are various options users can edit when adding new buttons or editing existing ones:

Shortcode – name of your shortcode Icon – icon that will represent your shortcode in editor Title – title that will be shown as popup title and hover text when hovering over the button icon Enclosing shortcode – read more about enclosing shortcodes here.

Attributes

Every shortcode can have multiple attributes which you can add by clicking on Add new attribute option. Attribute options are:

Attribute – attribute name Label – text that will be shown above attribute value input field Values – values to be selected from. Values can be any post type (eg. ‘post’, ‘page’, ‘custom-post-type’), comma seperated values (eg. option 1, option 2), comma seperated pairs of values and labels, seperated with pipe (eg. 1|label 1, 2|label 2) or free input (leave empty) Multi – defines if user can select multiple options (not used when free input) SQL – custom value selected directly from database via SQL. Query result must return value and label fields. SQL query overwrites Values option of attribute.
