Shortcodes and OM4
Shortcodes are small text codes you can insert in posts or pages that are replaced by something else when a visitor views your page. For example, entering [CONTACT-FORM] in a page will include a Contact Form allowing visitors to send you an email. Note:
- Some shortcodes are only available if you have activated the appropriate plugin
- Shortcodes are case sensitive
- Shortcodes are mostly designed to be used in pages and posts. Some will work included in sidebar text widgets, but not all.
