Too much for just one page…
This page lists just a few of the custom theme shortcodes that make it much more accessible, however there are hundreds of other shortcode based content features we can’t even begin to list because there are just too many. Luckily they’re all integrated into our visual content builder that uses drag-and-drop functionality and easy to navigate admin options so you don’t need to remember any complex codes, parameters or anything else for that matter.
Take a peek at some of the content elements you can create using the visual content builder:
Design Elements from Shortcodes
Blogs from Shortcodes
The [blog] shortcode allows you to add a blog post list to any area of your site. The shortcode can have any parameters available in the WP_Query function. See a full list here: WP_Query Parameters.
Array variables should be separated by commas: “value_1,value_2”
For example, [blog tag_slug__in="break,baking"] will query posts with tags “bread” or “baking”.
The [blog] shortcode also accepts custom parameters:
template
Specify the template name (with .php) for the layout. This accepts “blog-image-left” or “blog-image-top” (default).
Example: [blog template="blog-image-left"]
paging
Show the paging: « 1 2 » Values: true (default), false
Example: [blog paging="false"]
Portfolios from Shortcodes
The [portfolio] shortcode allows you to add a portfolio to any area of your site. The shortcode can have any parameters available in the WP_Query function. See a full list here: WP_Query Parameters.
Array variables should be separated with commas: “value_1,value_2”
For example, [portfolio post__in="12,9"] will query items with ID 12 and 9.
The [portfolio] shortcode also accepts custom parameters:
template
Specify the template name (with .php) for the layout. This accepts “grid-rows”, “grid-rows-filtered”, “grid-staggered” and “grid-staggered-filtered”.
Example: [portfolio template="grid-rows-filtered"]
paging
Show the paging: « 1 2 » Values: true (default), false
Example: [portfolio paging="false"]
columns
Specify a number of columns (default: 3).
Example: [portfolio columns="5"]
taxonomy_slug and taxonomy_terms
While not specific to the portfolio, these parameters are for custom taxonomies. They must BOTH be entered into the shortcode. This simplifies custom taxonomy queries.
Example:
[portfolio taxonomy_slug="portfolio-category" taxonomy_terms="print,music,video"]

Static Content Blocks
Static block content can be inserted into your Headers, Footers, Layouts and directly into other content using the shortcode: [static_content id="id-or-slug"]
When inserting a static content block with the shortcode, the ID should be the slug for that block. The slug is found just below the title field when editing and appears as the end of the URL path to the page: “mysite/featured-products/”
