How to Add your own shortcode in Wordpress
In your "functions.php" file in your child theme folder create a function and use the following code to initiate the short code add_shortcode('credits', 'show_website_credits'); The first variable above is the shortcode itself ( in this case [credits]) and the second variable is the name of the function. In total it will look like this function show_website_credits() { return "Website developed by Brendan."; } add_shortcode('credits', 'show_website_credits');
