Sometimes we want to display the same HTML content several times on the website, we can either copy & paste the HTML content and added to the WordPress text editor which most of the times works or we can just create a WordPress shortcode to display the HTML content.
Using WordPress shortcode we can avoid having the text editor full of HTML code which sometimes could be very painful to work out 🙂
Add this code below on your theme functions.php and use this shortcode [test_print_shortcode] on your posts, pages text widget.
Note: the function name needs to be changed to something more meaningful.
Create WordPress shortcode to display out HTML on pages, posts and text widgets code snippet:
/**
*
* Shortcode to display out HTML
*/
if ( ! function_exists( 'ns_shortcode_html' ) ) {
function ns_shortcode_html() {
ob_start();
?>
<div class="event__inner_header">
<h3 style="text-align:center;">THANK YOU !</h3>
</div>
<?php
return ob_get_clean();
}
add_shortcode( 'test_print_shortcode', 'ns_shortcode_html' );
}
