Shortcodes for Your MI4P WordPress Plugin

Shortcodes can be a WordPress user’s best friend.

If you’re not familiar with shortcodes in WordPress, they are your shortcut to doing things inside of WordPress with minimal effort. In other words, shortcodes are shortened bits of code that allow you to execute code inside of WordPress without having to write any of the code directly.

For example, the [gallery] shortcode can be used to add a photo gallery of images to any page or post.

Shortcodes Available for Your Marketing Ideas For Printers Plugin

At Marketing Ideas For Printers (MI4P), we use shortcodes to allow you to connect to the different subscriptions we offer.

How It Works

Once you have connected your WordPress website with the Marketing Ideas For Printers plugin, you can embed the services you’re subscribed to directly on your website. To do so, simply add the shortcodes to the content of any page where you want those services to appear.

While the shortcode for the free “What’s New?” subscription is available immediately, our other products and services require API credentials to activate. Those credentials will be provided to you at the time of purchase. As long as your API credentials remain valid and your subscription is active, the shortcodes below will render the corresponding services on your designated web pages.
