Update a Shortcode

  • Hello, When I add a new shortcode in a post and it gives me a shortcode like this: [tipjarwp id=”8″]
    Is there a way to make changes to the settings after it has been created?

    Thank you and have an amazing day!

    Hey @deyson,

    Yes you can edit a shortcode after it’s been entered. There are some instructions on that here:
    https://tipjarwp.com/getting-started-with-tip-jar-wp/#showing-the-payment-form-on-your-website

    Do you know if you are using the Classic Editor, or the Block Editor? The instructions will bit slightly different for each, which is why I ask.

    I am using the classic. The reason I ask is that if I want to go back and change the text in the top I have to create a new shortcode.

    My goal is to have a shortcode that does ‘not’ have a recurring payment option.

    Thank you and have an amazing day!

    @deyson Hmm that’s strange. Once you have clicked on “Create new Tip Jar Shortcode” and saved the post, when you go to edit that post in the future, you should see a button which says “Edit Shortcode”. When you click on it, it should allow you to edit the details of that shortcode, which in your case here is the one with the id of “8”.

    Are you seeing that button on your end?

    Hello,
    I was not saving the Post after I created the shortcode since I am using the shortcode in an Elementor Widget to use sitewide.

    The shortcode creator on the setting page does not allow us to remove the recurring payment option.

    Thank you and have a great day.
