Tänk dig att kunna lägga till nya saker på din WordPress-webbplats, som bildspel, kontaktformulär eller till och med speciallistor, bara genom att skriva en enkel kod. Det är det som är kraften i kortkoder.
Du kommer att upptäcka att många WordPress-plugins och teman kan använda kortkoder för att lägga till extra funktioner på din webbplats. Många av våra läsare frågar oss hur man på bästa sätt lägger till dem i sina inlägg, sidor och sidofält.
I den här artikeln visar vi dig hur du använder kortkoder på din WordPress-webbplats, steg för steg. Vi visar dig även hur du skapar egna kortkoder om du vill vara riktigt kreativ.
Vad är shortcodes?
Shortcodes i WordPress är kodgenvägar som hjälper dig att add to dynamiskt content till WordPress posts, pages och sidebar widgetar. De visas inom hakparenteser och gillar det här:
[myshortcode]
För att bättre förstå shortcodes, låt oss ta en titt på bakgrunden till varför de lades till i första hand.
WordPress filtrerar allt innehåll för att se till att ingen använder posts och pages innehåll för att inserta skadlig kod i databasen. Det innebär att du kan skriva grundläggande HTML i dina posts, men du kan inte skriva PHP-kod.
Men vad händer om du vill köra lite custom code inuti dina posts för att visa related posts, bannerannonser, kontaktformulär, gallerier eller något annat?
Det är här Shortcode API kommer in i bilden.
I grund och botten tillåter det utvecklare att add to sin kod i en funktion och sedan registrera den funktionen med WordPress som en shortcode, så att användare enkelt kan använda den utan att ha någon kodningskunskap.
När WordPress hittar shortcoden kommer den automatiskt att runna den kod som är kopplad till den.
Låt oss se hur du enkelt kan add shortcodes till dina posts och pages i WordPress. Du kan använda länkarna under för att hoppa till din önskade metod.

- Shortcodes vs. Gutenberg Blocks
Lägga till en shortcode i WordPress Posts och Pages
Först måste du editera det post och den page där du vill add to shortcoden.
Efter det måste du klicka på knappen Lägg till block ’+’ för att infoga ett Shortcode-block.
När du har lagt till Shortcode-blocket kan du helt enkelt enter din shortcode i blockinställningarna.
Shortcode kommer att tillhandahållas av olika WordPress tillägg som du kanske använder, t.ex. WPForms för kontaktformulär eller OptinMonster för e-postmarknadsföring.
Om du vill veta mer om hur du använder block kan du läsa vår Gutenberg tutorial för mer details.
Du kan nu save din post eller page och previewa dina ändringar för att se shortcoden i action.
Lägga till en shortcode i WordPress Sidebar Widgets
Du kan också använda shortcodes i WordPress sidebar widgets.
Besök bara sidan Appearance ” Widgets och lägg till ett ’Shortcode’ widgetblock i en sidebar.
Nu kan du klistra in din shortcode i widgets text area.
Glöm inte att klicka på knappen ”Update” för att spara dina inställningar för widgetar.
Efter det kan du besöka din WordPress website för att se live preview av shortcode i sidebar widget.
Lägga till en shortcode i gamla WordPress Classic Editor
Om du fortfarande använder den gamla klassiska Editorn i WordPress, så här kan du lägga till shortcodes till dina WordPress posts och pages.
Du behöver bara editera den post och page där du vill add to shortcoden. Du kan klistra in shortcoden var som helst i content editorn där du vill att den ska visas. Se bara till att shortcoden står på en egen rad.
Glöm inte att save dina ändringar. Efter det kan du previewa din post och page för att se shortcoden i action.
Lägga till en shortcode i WordPress Theme Files
Shortcodes är avsedda att användas i WordPress-poster, pages och widgets. Ibland kan du dock vilja använda en shortcode i en fil för ett WordPress theme.
WordPress gör det enkelt att göra det, men du måste editera dina WordPress theme-filer. Om du inte har gjort det förut, se vår guide om hur du copy and paste kod i WordPress.
I grund och botten kan du lägga till en shortcode till alla WordPress temamallar genom att helt enkelt lägga till följande kod:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[your_shortcode]'); ?>
WordPress kommer nu att leta efter shortcode och visa dess utdata i din template för temat.
Lägga till en shortcode i Block Theme-filer med Full-Site Editor
Om du använder ett block editor-tema är det lättare att add shortcodes i dina WordPress Theme-filer med hjälp av hela Site Editor.
Du kan komma åt detta verktyg genom att välja Appearance ” Editor från WordPress dashboard.
Du kommer att visas ditt temas hemmamall som standard, och du kan byta till andra templates genom att välja alternativet ”Templates”.
När du har valt en template kan du börja edit:a den genom att click:a i den högra rutan i editorn. Editorn kommer nu att fylla hela vyn.
Nu kan du klicka på ikonen ’+’ block inserter och search efter shortcode-blocket. Därefter drar du det helt enkelt till templaten och skriver in den shortcode du vill använda.
Glöm inte att klicka på knappen ”Save” högst upp på vyn för att spara dina ändringar.
Skapa din egen customize shortcode i WordPress
Shortcodes kan vara riktigt användbara när du vill add to dynamiskt content eller custom code i WordPress post och pages. Om du vill skapa en customize shortcode är det dock obligatoriskt med viss kodningserfarenhet.
Om du är bekväm med att skriva PHP-kod, så finns här en exempelkod som du kan använda som template:
// 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');
I den här koden skapade vi först en funktion som runar lite kod och returnerar utdata. Därefter skapade vi en new shortcode med anropet ”greeting” och sa till WordPress att runna den funktion vi skapat.
Du kan lägga till den här koden i ditt temas functions.php-fil manuellt eller använda ett code snippet plugin som WPCode.
För mer details, you can see our guide to adding custom code in WordPress without breaking anything.
Följer du detta kan du add to shortcoden till dina posts, pages och widgetar med hjälp av följande kod:
[hälsar]
Den kommer att runna den funktion you skapade och visa önskad output.
Låt oss nu ta en titt på en mer praktisk användning av en shortcode.
I det här exemplet kommer vi att visa en Google Adsense-banner i en 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');
Glöm inte att ersätta annonskoden med din egen annonskod.
Du kan nu använda shortcoden [my_ad_code] i dina posts, pages och sidebar widgets i WordPress. WordPress kommer automatiskt att runna den funktion som är kopplad till shortcoden och visa reklamkoden.
Shortcodes vs. Gutenberg Blocks
Vi får ofta frågor från användare om skillnaderna mellan shortcodes och Gutenberg blocks.
I grund och botten tillåter block dig att göra samma sak som shortcodes men på ett mer användarvänligt sätt.
Istället för att obligatoriskt lägga till en shortcode för att visa dynamiskt innehåll, allow blocks användare att lägga till dynamiskt innehåll i posts/pages med ett mer intuitivt användargränssnitt. Många populära tillägg till WordPress har gått över till att använda block istället för shortcodes eftersom de är mer nybörjarvänliga.
Vi har sammanställt en lista över de mest användbara Gutenberg block plugins för WordPress som du kanske vill prova.
Om du vill skapa dina egna customize Gutenberg block kan du följa vår Step-by-Step tutorial om hur du skapar customize Gutenberg block i WordPress.
Vi hoppas att den här artikeln hjälpte dig att lära dig hur du addar en shortcode i WordPress. Du kanske också vill se vår guide om hur du skapar ett custom WordPress theme utan att skriva någon kod och vårt expertval av de bästa drag and drop WordPress page builder plugins.

Thanks, the guide you share helped to create my own shortcode using the format you shared in the post. That means I can add any code to the part where you said ”things you want to do”. Is it compulsory I add only PHP code, can I add a working HTML code there ?
WPBeginner Support
With how the code is currently set up you would need to add PHP and if you wanted a different language like HTML you would need to make some tweaks.

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.

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.
Administratör
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.

When I add shortcode to posts, whether it be in the middle of an article or at the end, the actual element always appears at the top of the post, any idea why?

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.

Dan
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]
Greetings!

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.
