Hi @csdsubscriber ,
Thank you for your question! By default, snippets created with our plugin don’t generate a shortcode — they are usually executed directly (for example, PHP code runs on your site automatically once the snippet is activated).
If you’d like to output content inside a post or page with a shortcode, you can wrap your code inside a custom function and then register a shortcode for it. Here’s a quick example:
function my_custom_snippet() {
return "Hello, this is my snippet output!";
}
add_shortcode( 'my_snippet', 'my_custom_snippet' );
Once added as a snippet and activated, you can use [my_snippet] anywhere in your posts or pages to display the output.
You can also browse our Snippet Community Cloud Library for other examples of snippets that generate shortcodes: https://codesnippets.cloud/search
Best regards,
Carolina
Thanks for your reply. I saw a video showing the shortcode being generated below the code window. No more then?
How would this wrapper code you’ve described get “registered?”
Never mind I figured it out. Thank you! 🙂
