    Hi, I’m using the Essential Grid plugin from Codecayon. (https://codecanyon.net/item/essential-grid-wordpress-plugin/7563340)

    This plugin creates masonry-style summaries of posts in a grid format.

    In the plugin, you create a template for the individual blocks (such as a featured image on top, with the title underneath, and the excerpt below, etc.)

    I would like to add the favorite button to my Essential Grid template, so that the button appears at the bottom of each content block.

    What shortcode should I use?

    I’m thinking [favorite_button post_id=””] , but I’m not sure what post id to use, since this is being used in a template that will be used for each post, and not just one post in particular.

    Any idea of what the shortcode should be?

    You should be able to use the [favorite_button] shortcode, and not include an explicit post id. If the shortcode is called inside the loop, it defaults to the current post.

    Thanks so much for responding!

    Actually, I asked the author of Essential Grid the same question, and it turns out the solution was to use this shortcode within the template editor:

    [favorite_button post_id=%post_id%]

    So, problem solved! But thank you for your help.
