Imagine poder adicionar coisas novas ao seu site WordPress, como apresentações de slides, formulários de contato ou até mesmo listas especiais, apenas digitando um código simples. Esse é o poder dos códigos de acesso.
Você verá que muitos plug-ins e temas do WordPress podem usar códigos de acesso para adicionar recursos extras ao seu site. Muitos de nossos leitores nos perguntam qual é a melhor maneira de adicioná-los a seus posts, páginas e barra lateral.
Neste artigo, mostraremos como usar códigos de acesso em seu site WordPress, passo a passo. Mostraremos até mesmo como criar códigos de acesso personalizados se você quiser ser realmente criativo.
O que são códigos curtos?
Os códigos de acesso no WordPress são atalhos de código que ajudam você a adicionar conteúdo dinâmico a posts, páginas e widgets da barra lateral do WordPress. Eles são exibidos dentro de colchetes como este:
[myshortcode]
Para entender melhor os códigos de acesso, vamos dar uma olhada no histórico do motivo pelo qual eles foram adicionados em primeiro lugar.
O WordPress filtra todo o conteúdo para garantir que ninguém use o conteúdo de posts e páginas para inserir códigos maliciosos no banco de dados. Isso significa que você pode escrever HTML básico em suas postagens, mas não pode escrever código PHP.
Mas e se você quisesse executar algum código personalizado dentro das suas postagens para exibir postagens relacionadas, anúncios em banner, formulários de contato, galerias ou qualquer outra coisa?
É aqui que entra a API Shortcode.
Basicamente, ele permite que os desenvolvedores adicionem seu código dentro de uma função e, em seguida, registrem essa função no WordPress como um shortcode, para que os usuários possam usá-lo facilmente sem ter nenhum conhecimento de codificação.
Quando o WordPress encontrar o shortcode, ele executará automaticamente o código associado a ele.
Vamos ver como adicionar facilmente códigos de acesso às suas postagens e páginas do WordPress. Você pode usar os links abaixo para ir para o método de sua preferência.

- Shortcodes vs. Gutenberg Blocks
Adição de um código curto em posts e páginas do WordPress
Primeiro, você precisa editar o post e a página em que deseja adicionar o shortcode.
Depois disso, você precisa clicar no botão de adicionar bloco “+” para inserir um bloco de Shortcode.
Depois de adicionar o bloco Shortcode, basta inserir seu shortcode nas configurações do bloco.
O shortcode será fornecido por vários plug-ins do WordPress que você pode estar usando, como o WPForms para formulários de contato ou o OptinMonster para marketing por e-mail.
Para saber mais sobre como usar blocos, consulte nosso tutorial do Gutenberg para obter mais detalhes.
Agora você pode salvar seu post ou página e visualizar suas alterações para ver o shortcode em ação.
Adição de um código curto nos widgets da barra lateral do WordPress
Você também pode usar códigos de acesso nos widgets da barra lateral do WordPress.
Basta acessar a página Appearance ” Widgets e adicionar um bloco de widget “Shortcode” a uma barra lateral.
Agora, você pode colar seu shortcode na área de texto do widget.
Não se esqueça de clicar no botão “Update” (Atualizar) para armazenar as configurações do widget.
Depois disso, você pode visitar seu site do WordPress para ver a visualização ao vivo do shortcode no widget da barra lateral.
Adição de um código curto no antigo editor clássico do WordPress
Se você ainda estiver usando o antigo editor clássico do WordPress, veja como adicionar códigos de acesso às suas postagens e páginas do WordPress.
Basta editar o post e a página em que você deseja adicionar o shortcode. Você pode colar o shortcode em qualquer lugar dentro do editor de conteúdo onde deseja que ele seja exibido. Apenas certifique-se de que o shortcode esteja em sua própria linha.
Não se esqueça de salvar suas alterações. Depois disso, você pode visualizar sua postagem e página para ver o shortcode em ação.
Adição de um código curto nos arquivos de tema do WordPress
Os códigos de acesso devem ser usados em posts, páginas e widgets do WordPress. No entanto, às vezes, você pode querer usar um shortcode em um arquivo de tema do WordPress.
O WordPress facilita essa tarefa, mas você precisará editar os arquivos de tema do WordPress. Se você nunca fez isso antes, consulte nosso guia sobre como copiar e colar código no WordPress.
Basicamente, você pode adicionar um shortcode a qualquer modelo de tema do WordPress simplesmente adicionando o seguinte código:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[your_shortcode]'); ?>
O WordPress agora procurará o shortcode e exibirá sua saída no modelo do tema.
Adição de um código curto em arquivos de tema de bloco com o Full-Site Editor
Se estiver usando um tema de bloco, será mais fácil adicionar códigos de acesso nos arquivos de tema do WordPress usando o editor de site completo.
Você pode acessar essa ferramenta selecionando Appearance ” Editor no painel do WordPress.
Por padrão, você verá o modelo inicial do seu tema e poderá alternar para outros modelos selecionando a opção “Templates”.
Depois de escolher um modelo, você pode começar a editá-lo clicando no painel direito do editor. O editor agora preencherá a tela.
Agora você pode clicar no ícone de inserção de bloco “+” e procurar o bloco de shortcode. Depois disso, basta arrastá-lo para o modelo e digitar o shortcode que deseja usar.
Não se esqueça de clicar no botão “Save” (Salvar) na parte superior da tela para armazenar suas alterações.
Criando seu próprio código de acesso personalizado no WordPress
Os códigos de acesso podem ser muito úteis quando você deseja adicionar conteúdo dinâmico ou código personalizado dentro das postagens e páginas do WordPress. No entanto, se você quiser criar um shortcode personalizado, será necessário ter alguma experiência em codificação.
Se você se sente à vontade para escrever código PHP, aqui está um exemplo de código que pode ser usado como modelo:
// function that runs when shortcode is called
function wpb_demo_shortcode() {
// Things that you want to do.
$message = 'Hello world!';
// Output needs to be return
return $message;
}
// register shortcode
add_shortcode('greeting', 'wpb_demo_shortcode');
Nesse código, primeiro criamos uma função que executa um código e retorna o resultado. Depois disso, criamos um novo shortcode chamado ‘greeting’ e dissemos ao WordPress para executar a função que criamos.
Você pode adicionar esse código ao arquivo functions.php do seu tema manualmente ou usar um plug-in de snippet de código como o WPCode.
Para obter mais detalhes, consulte nosso guia para adicionar código personalizado no WordPress sem quebrar nada.
Depois de fazer isso, você pode adicionar esse shortcode a seus posts, páginas e widgets usando o seguinte código:
[saudação]
Ele executará a função que você criou e mostrará o resultado desejado.
Agora, vamos dar uma olhada em um uso mais prático de um shortcode.
Neste exemplo, exibiremos um banner do Google AdSense em um shortcode:
// The shortcode function
function wpb_demo_shortcode_2() {
// Advertisement code pasted inside a variable
$string .= '<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<ins class="adsbygoogle"
style="display:block; text-align:center;"
data-ad-format="fluid"
data-ad-layout="in-article"
data-ad-client="ca-pub-0123456789101112"
data-ad-slot="9876543210"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>';
// Ad code returned
return $string;
}
// Register shortcode
add_shortcode('my_ad_code', 'wpb_demo_shortcode_2');
Não se esqueça de substituir o código do anúncio por seu próprio código de anúncio.
Agora você pode usar o shortcode [my_ad_code] em seus posts, páginas e widgets da barra lateral do WordPress. O WordPress executará automaticamente a função associada ao shortcode e exibirá o código do anúncio.
Shortcodes vs. Blocos do Gutenberg
Os usuários nos perguntam com frequência sobre as diferenças entre os códigos de acesso e os blocos do Gutenberg.
Basicamente, os blocos permitem que você faça o mesmo que os códigos de acesso, mas de uma forma mais fácil de usar.
Em vez de exigir que os usuários adicionem um shortcode para exibir conteúdo dinâmico, os blocos permitem que os usuários adicionem conteúdo dinâmico dentro de posts/páginas com uma interface de usuário mais intuitiva. Muitos plug-ins populares do WordPress passaram a usar blocos em vez de códigos de acesso porque são mais fáceis de usar para iniciantes.
Reunimos uma lista dos plug-ins de bloco Gutenberg mais úteis para o WordPress que você pode querer experimentar.
Se quiser criar seus próprios blocos personalizados do Gutenberg, você pode seguir nosso tutorial passo a passo sobre como criar blocos personalizados do Gutenberg no WordPress.
Esperamos que este artigo tenha ajudado você a aprender como adicionar um shortcode no WordPress. Talvez você também queira ver nosso guia sobre como criar um tema personalizado do WordPress sem escrever nenhum código e nossa seleção de especialistas dos melhores plug-ins de arrastar e soltar do construtor de páginas do WordPress.

Hi Guys,
Is it possible with this plugin to create a unique QR Code for users that sign up to your website?
i.e. a person registers on the website, and as part of that process the back-end creates a unique QR Code for that user which if scanned by a third party takes them to their profile on the website?
WPBeginner Comments
You can create QR codes using this guide:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-generate-and-add-qr-codes-in-wordpress/
To create it automatically in the way you mentioned may require custom code.
Moinuddin Waheed
This is very helpful for making our own custom short codes.
I have been using short codes for a while and have thought of making my own short codes to use but was not aware about the process.
I have a bit of coding knowledge and can easily make shortcodes through php functions.
Thanks for the guide.

Thank you for the detailed instructions. I was able to add the shortcode to Gutenberg but could not use it as a php code. At the same time, it is evidently that simple. A bit smarter again thanks to wpbeginner.

In Example2 How did you define this shortcode ‘my_ad_code’ thought you didn’t define it as a function?

That is added with the code add_shortcode at the bottom of the example

Thanks for the great article. Works like a charm. However, although it is explained on the page link provided in the article, it may have been helpful to many readers if you had reiterated that to create shortcodes yourself (‘How to Create Your Own Custom Shortcode’ section of the article), you simply add the example code provided or your own code to the theme’s (or child theme’s) ‘functions.php’ file. Thanks again!

I have a slightly more complex question.
I’m using a theme with a theme options panel.
I want to use a shortcode inside one of those options.
However the output is just the [shortcode] text. Is there specific syntax I can use or does it differ from theme to theme? It’s taking forever to get answers from the theme dev.

Armen
This doesn’t work if you’re trying to place another shortcode within the shortcode you’re creating.
Say I had a shortcode like [jpshare] and I wanted to place it along with other stuff into another shortcode function like in this article to add to the posts, how would you do that?
Mike
No mention in the article WHERE to add the shortcode. Back to Google for a better tutorial.
Drew
It clearly stated the code goes into “functions.php”. If you’re not sure how to use the shortcode, it goes anything you add text.
Ihatewordpress
Hello,
As you can tell from my name I’m very frustrated right now with wordpress.
>>This last part is simple, just add the [adsense] shortcode in the HTML or Visual views of the Post or Page content editor.<<
Not even a tiny clue how to do that – would you be willing to expand on this? Thank you
WPBeginner Support
WordPress uses shortcodes to add functionality into posts and pages. Like in this tutorial if you wanted to display advertisement code, then you will create a shortcode for it. Once you have created a shortcode you can use it in your posts and pages. Create a new post or edit an existing one and add your shortcode with square brackets in the post content area, like [adsense].

I installed Popup manager plugin for newsletter subscribers. I got the popup to appear by following your suggestion of putting the shortcode in a comment on my main page. This works but only if a person expands my first comment to read the entire thing. Where/how do I paste the shortcode to get the popup to appear when someone visits my page without requiring them to do anything else? I’m trying to find something in the template customization options but nothing is standing out.
Patty
Please help me understand if this is using a shortcode plugin properly. I need to display the date of the last update to a post or page to stop Google structured errors. I am using default 2014 only with plugins. I found a shortcode plugin named “Last Updated Shortcode” that seems to do what I need. I am wondering if this is what I do.
I would install the plugin, and then activate the plugin. Then on the page/post I would Edit page/post, and at the bottom of the post (or anywhere else if I prefer) add the shortcode. So I would literally type [lastupdated] The last updated date should then appear, correct???
And hopefully, Google will be happy and stop emailing notices of structured errors.
WPBeginner Support
Yes. We are not sure about how it will affect your SEO though. You may want to take a look at how to display the last updated date of your posts in WordPress.

I am having trouble figuring out how to add code comments to a page with just shortcode in it. I’ve tried HTML & PHP comment tags and when added the shortcode doesn’t work anymore. The reason I would like to comment the code is that I would like to document information about the shortcode in the page I call it from ( I may not be the site admin forever).
WPBeginner Support
WordPress will strip out PHP or HTML comments in post editor. If you were using Edit Flow, then you could leave a note below the post. Right now you can switch to Text editor and leave HTML comment, but as soon as some user views the post in visual editor it will be stripped out again.
Administrador
Steve
It strips out the comments AND puts in a blank line for each comment. I put the comments below the shortcode and that works fine.
Thanks for helping me understand what was going on.

Simply copy [rx_aeolus_three_cols] and paste it in a WordPress page. Save your page and then preview it. However, you will first have to create your portfolio in the plugin. Otherwise you will not see anything, because there is nothing for the plugin to display.
Usha
I have downloaded a plug-in ‘Aeolus portfolio’ for the WordPress 3.9.2 running Twenty Eleven theme. I have been given the following shortcodes in the plug-in setting:
[rx_aeolus_three_cols]-Displays all portfolio as three columns.
[rx_aeolus_two_cols]-Displays all portfolio as two columns.
[rx_aeolus_one_col]-Displays all portfolio as one column.
Can anyone help as to how these short code can be incorporated in a page. I am new to WP plugins and badly need help.

Thanks! This thread helped me a lot.
Just in case someone else lands in here and need to use a more complex HTML/PHP code structure inside a shortcode, this is an example using some aditional options from the WordPress Shortcodes API documentation:
Place this (and modify as needed) inside your functions.php:
http://pastie.org/9454401
Then you just use this shortcode inside your WordPress content
[mycustomshortcode]

You’re the man! This is exactly what I needed. Thank you.

Really? Easy? Simple? This website is great but it says it is for beginners. I’ve been using Wordpress for 2 years and yet I did not understand it at all. It’s quite annoying the way geeks always bang on about how easy something is and then write something totally incomprehensible to ordinary humans – just like every Math teacher I ever had.
OK, write an article that can only be understood by geeks – fine, but please don’t keep telling me how easy it is
output? string? content editor – where is it? define a function? I wish you would because I don’t know what it is.
“This function is pretty straightforward – it just returns my Google Adsense code as a string” –
a string of what? etc etc. Just saying….
WPBeginner Support
We totally agree with you that sometimes when writing we may feel that we have explained everything clearly for beginners, but a beginner level user may still not be able to understand it. This is why we have comments and we will be happy to explain it to you more
A shortcode is a short+code. WordPress allows you to generate shortcodes for your programing code blocks called
functions. Since a user can not write programming code in the Post Editor when writing a new post. The shortcodes provide users a way to add those programming codes into a post without writing the full code in post editor.When WordPress finds a shortcode in a post like this:
[my_shortcode]
It then executes the programming code associated with that particular shortcode.
The example given in the article above, creates a function get_adsense. When this function is executed it outputs the adsense code. We hope this explains it for you. Let us know if you have any more questions.
