Flashy Shortcodes

WordPress shortcode functions were first introduced in WordPress 2.5. Shortcodes and WordPress functions are power tools when it comes to massaging WordPress websites into shape. Instead of relying on complicated CSS and HTML, a user can simply insert a shortcode and VOILA!; save an hours worth of coding. This is the beauty of WordPress shortcodes and functions; the quick and easy path to making your blogging chores easier. The following is my private functions plugin with a potpourri of formatting functions. Feel free to download and hack away to get the custom look and ease of use you are looking for.

Notes

My plugin should be compatible with other WordPress plugins that introduce functions to ones WordPress website or blog – I have taken special pains to keep my naming conventions unique.

Example shortcodes below have added space between the opening and closing brackets. Do not use extra space when adding shortcode to your WordPress pages and or posts.

Hard Break

From time to time it is necessary to force a break between content areas. I find this useful especially when working with photos that have been left or right aligned with content.

This shortcode adds behind the scenes  <br clear=”all” /> – If your prefer <div class=”clear”></div> , Feel free to edit the plugin and modify it to suit your needs.

Use the shortcode [ br ]

Divider Lines

[dividerline-solid]

Enter the shortcode [ dividerline-solid ] to create a thin horizontal line to dived content. You can see it in use below. Other available lines are

[ dividerline-dashed ]

[dividerline-dashed]

[ dividerline-dotted ]

[dividerline-dotted]

Lorem Ipsum

Great for adding filler text when developing sites.
Use shortcode [ lorem ]
Result: [lorem]

Drop Caps

Use shortcode [ dropcap color=#97172A ]X[ /dropcap] (Named colors ok, such as Red, Blue, Gray…)

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla vestibulum, justo vel fringilla fringilla, turpis mi facilisis erat, vel rutrum turpis turpis et enim. Suspendisse elit ligula, gravida vel aliquet vitae, accumsan vitae eros. Nam ut orci nisl, id viverra metus. Morbi cursus tempus ornare. Vivamus lacus nisi, feugiat at dapibus quis, consectetur molestie nibh. Nulla vel lectus augue. Curabitur aliquam euismod augue, nec cursus nunc elementum quis! Etiam imperdiet pretium enim ut feugiat. Phasellus vel erat odio. Vivamus rhoncus tincidunt sem eget posuere? Quisque interdum, leo et commodo sollicitudin, nulla nisl gravida tortor, commodo porttitor erat magna sed ipsum. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas.

Pull Quotes

Below is an example of a left aligned pull quote. The shortcode for this is [ pullquoteleft ]Your groovy quote text, your groovy quote text your groovy quote text your groovy quote text[ /pullquoteleft ]

One can additionally use [ pullquoteright ] and [ pullquotecenter ]

Log in and edit this page in HTML view to see how I have used it here.

Note: The shortcodes above have a space purposefully added to deactivate their function. Shortcodes you use will not have any spaces.
