Questions regarding shortcodes and customization.

[jingyansu]

Hello,
I just bought this theme and planning to use it on my site. I am trying to create a site, which will look something like this: https://www.bitcatcha.com/hosting-reviews/siteground/ (example blog page. )

I was thinking this theme will have all the necessary shortcodes but there are none. Can you tell me, if i can use this theme to create a site like the above one? Or should i depend on external plugins, such as shortcodeultimate for such functionalities?

Please let me know.

Thanks

Hi there,

we don’t include shortcodes in the theme as this would lead to theme lock-in – if you ever felt the need to change theme then that content would be a mess.

So if you need shortcoded content then a plugin would be correct.

Looking at that site, most of it is fairly straightforward and could be done with the Gutenberg Block editor.
