Description

Adds a new shortcode.

Care should be taken through prefixing or other means to ensure that the shortcode tag being added is unique and will not conflict with other, already-added shortcode tags. In the event of a duplicated tag, the tag loaded last will take precedence.

Usage

add_shortcode( $tag, $callback );

Parameters

$tag

( string ) required – Shortcode tag to be searched in post content.

$callback

( callable ) required – The callback function to run when the shortcode is found. Every shortcode callback is passed three parameters by default, including an array of attributes (`$atts`), the shortcode content or null if not set (`$content`), and finally the shortcode tag itself (`$shortcode_tag`), in that order.

Returns

void
