You can place it just about anywhere you&#8217;d like, and it will add a specific feature to your page, post, or other content. For example, you can use shortcodes to display an author box, a list of authors on your site, or even the authored posts by a given author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortcodes can be simply copied and pasted directly onto your site. Generally, they&#8217;re placed into a post or page. However, they can go in any location where you can add code through the WordPress editor, such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Post_Types\">custom post type<\/a> or a <a href=\"https:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/WordPress_Widgets#Using_Text_Widgets\">text widget<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there anything \u201cbad\u201d about using shortcodes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nope!<\/strong> There&#8217;s nothing wrong with using shortcodes. There is one thing you should remember, though: If you use shortcodes that come bundled with Molongui Authorship plugin, those shortcodes will stop working <strong>if you ever disable the plugin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn&#8217;t a &#8220;bad&#8221; thing \u2013 it&#8217;s just something you should be aware of so that you don&#8217;t get surprised down the road!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Available shortcodes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here it is a complete list of shortcodes available with Molongui Authorship Pro:<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[molongui_list_children_wedocs]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve been using WordPress for a little bit, you might have come across the term &#8220;shortcode&#8221;.
