The WordPress shortcode generator was the first tool in Coveloping's WordPress range dedicated to helping you generate code for your WordPress site.
This tool allows you to easily create all the code you need to create a shortcode to use on your WordPress site.
WordPress shortcodes were introduced in WordPress version 2.5 and is a great way of adding full flexibility and control of certain functionality to the editor of your WordPress CMS. The best thing about shortcodes is that it allows editors to run a certain bit of code within the content area of your site.
