Short codes – What?

    Hello!

    Very new at this stuff –

    Plugin installed > all boxes filled-in (except DMCA) > drop-down menu ‘On/Displaying’ > Save > Nothing, zero, ??? (Sorry – it might be right in front of me and yet I am lost. Please help!)

    Where are the short codes and what do I do with them? The three short codes on the top of the page are not linked to anything. Maybe they are not suppose to be? Are these the short codes? Do I copy and paste them? First I need the short code and then after, when I open a new page, where do I put the short code? The body, the title? Do I put it in a text widget to place in the footer?

    Thanks (excuse all the questions, my mind is spinning)

  • Hi Antare.

    It sounds like you’re new to WordPress.

    Create a new WordPress “page” (not a “post”).
    Title the page whatever you want (e.g. “Our Terms”).
    Insert one of these three shortcodes as the page’s content (yes, in the body, not the title):
    [my_terms_of_service_and_privacy_policy]
    [my_terms_of_service]
    [my_privacy_policy]
    Publish the page.
    View the page. It should display your Terms of Service / Privacy Policy (depending on which shortcode you used). If it doesn’t output anything, make sure you completed the Settings page in wp-admin.

    Please reply back if this resolves your issue or if you have additional comments.

    @clifford Paulick – Yes, this is my first website and it is not public for now until I put it all together.
    Thank you so much for responding. Your directions worked excellently.
    If you do not mind my asking – Is it possible to place 2 different URL addresses after href=”
    and do you place a comma in between them?
    example:
    href=”URL”,”URL”
    Thank you so much

    Glad you got it working.

    I believe your href question is not applicable to my plugin. Instead, it’s an HTML syntax question, in which case the answer is “no”.

    You can read more about a href at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a#attr-href

    I have closed this ticket. Have a great day and welcome to web publishing and WordPress!
