Several shortcodes in one snippet/function
5 replies · Started by Igor on August 22, 2021
Hi there,
I would like to add several shortcodes in one snippet, and I could not sort it out with googling.
I will just add 5 more websites/links in the same way as BBC below.
Is there a better way than just copy pasting the code 5x?
add_shortcode( 'BBC', function() {
ob_start();
// Start your PHP below
echo 'BBC Good Food, <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com">website</a>';
// End your PHP above
return ob_get_clean();
} );Hi there,
for a simple shortcode like that, i would go with 5x copies of it. Lot easier to read and maintain and keeps your [shortcode] nice and simple.
Thanks David, just a final question:
is it a better practice to have all the shortcodes of this type in the same snippet or create separate snippet for each?
Theres not really a best practice. I would put them all in the one snippet, just so i only have one to edit if i want to update them all :)
Thanks :)
You're welcome
