Hi there, I have used Shortcode Manager (originally Shortbus) since it began, and find it excellent for my needs. However the Shortcode API is changing from WordPress version 4.7 onwards. Will this plugin be brought up to date or has development ceased now? Thanks
]]>I’m using v1.4 of shortcode manager.
I only see a blank screen when on my shortcode manaager page. I see the drop down list of codes, and the Add New button, but the text box for the codes themselves is missing. Can anyone help?
]]>I added a shortcode with a text that also has shortcode. Its not executing the shortcode in the text. How can I fix it?
]]>I am hoping for a little instruction. I don’t know how to get started. I understand you go to Tools shortcodes to get started but there is nothing there. “Add New” does nothing so I am pretty much at a stand still. Can someone give me some basic instruction on how to proceed? Please and thank you!
]]>I’ve installed the plug-in, and can go to the “tools / shortcodes” item on the menu. I see a drop-down, and a box into which to put a shortcode name, plus an “Add New” button.
I’ve clicked on “Add New” with and without text in the box, and nothing seems to happen. I’m not asked what to replace the shortcode with or anything.
Could it be an issue with WP3.9?
]]>Just Letting you know it breaks with Tabify Edit Screen plugin. If I get time I’ll try to figure it out.
]]>I tried to put russian inside shortcode but received only ?????? ???? ?????? ????
]]>Hello,
I installed the plugin. At the top of the Settings page is says “To get started, click on “Help” at the top right of this screen.” Unfortunately, there is no “Help” at the top right of the screen. Not sure what to do next? Are there directions anywhere? Also, will this work on a category description page?
Thanks!

I have created one shortcode using this plugin.
I can’t figure out how to add it to my site though?
When I create it, I don’t see anything that says anything “this is the shortcode to use in your site when you want this to appear in your page”. Nor do I see anything in my WYSIWYG editor that allows me to select these.
I’m using it for adsense ads. I know there are other plugins for adsense ads, but I want more control over them. I don’t want all of my pages to have the same configuration of ads.
]]>Hello,
strangely enough, in my current installation this shortcode manager produces an odd formatting of the code:
[sb name=”My Shortcode”]becomes
My Shortcode</p><div class=”shortbus”></div>
in html, producing a line break after the shortcode.
Anybody knows what’s wrong with this?
Thanks!
]]>Hi. I’m using the “Shortcode Manager” plugin to create shortcodes from php code generated by the “New Contact Info” plugin. I want to use the shortcodes in the “Contact Form 7” plugin to auto-fill text fields for users who are already logged in.
For example, one of the fields is “postcode”. The user has filled out their postcode in a custom profile field created by the “New Contact Info” plugin. Then when the user goes to the “contact us” page all the details they have already submitted should auto-fill in the contact form. “Contact Form 7” allows you to auto-fill text fields other than the defaults (first name, last name, email, etc) by using its “dynamic text extension”. Using this extension you can insert shortcodes that will auto-fill text fields.
The shortcode created by “Shortcode Manager” works when I put it into “Contact Form 7″, but next to the auto-fill value is: <div class=”shortbus”></div>. So it appears: NU4 1PQ<div class=”shortbus”></div>. I want to remove <div class=”shortbus”></div> so that the text field just shows the auto-fill value NU4 1PQ.
The php code generated the “New Contact Info” plugin is: <?php the_author_meta(“postcode”, $current_author->ID); ?>
The shortcode created by the “Shortcode Manager” plugin is: [sb name=”user_postcode”]
Please note that when using the “Contact Form 7 dynamic text extension” it requests that you replace the [] with “” and the “” with ”. So the code in the “Contact Form 7” form is: [dynamictext Postcode “sb name=’user_postcode'”].
I would like the author of the plugin or anyone else to get back and let me know if there is anything that can be done to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
D
excuse my beginner-ness.
how do you import a list of shortcodes with values? I see an empty text box and ideally I just want to copy and paste a big excel sheet into there. What is the format?
thanks

One of my clients is using BeerMenus.com for their extensive beer list and BeerMenus.com does not yet have any WordPress integration other than pasting the script into a page. The problem is, everytime one edits the page, the script gets wiped out (happened on WP 3.1 too).
The “shortbus” plugin solved the issue perfectly! Simply create a shortcode, paste the script in the code field – add the shortcode to the page needed and there’s the list! No more broken code!
Brilliant solution…cheers!
]]>Is it possible to add some attributes to this plugin?
[sb name=”My Shortcode” num=”11″ code=”100″]
It would be very helpful if these were available.
]]>Hi!
For me the “Shortbus” link is neither displayed in Tools or Settings to configure / change or add any Shortcodes. Old installed shortcodes still work. No chance to get to the dialog in the backend!
I run WP 3.2.1 in a multi site environment, domain mapping is installed as well.
Any idea?
]]>I really like this plugin but it’s not working for me using PlatformPro by PageLines.
I’m using WP 3.2, which I have tested to not be the problem- so it seems like the culprit is my theme.
If possible it would be great if you could make it compatible!
]]>Hola Matt,
Thanks for sharing this plugin.
You filter the menu item based on the permission edit_pages. In my opinion, that is too low a permission. This means anyone with editor level permissions can run any PHP, javascript or other code almost anywhere on the site. That’s a *massive* security risk. In my opinion, this should be restricted to only the highest level admin on the blog.
I recommend instead of using edit_pages you use update_core. This requires only a single change of edit_pages to update_core on line 76 of index.php.
Love & joy – Callum.
]]>Your new plugin has this Description: “Add arbitrary content (scripts, iframes, anything!) to pages and posts with ease.”
Can you included PHP as well?
