Shortcodes Ultimate

Developers have been creating and using shortcodes for years with WordPress now. The concept and very useful functionality of this WordPress feature has been a success with both users and programmers, and has since expanded to other CMS platforms, including WordPress' main rival: Joomla.

Usually when developers create a plugin, they also create a shortcode to embed the plugin's output inside posts or pages. The shortcode must be entered by the user and is usually very complex.

Since most shortcodes are spread amongst different plugins, having access to common functionality and UI widgets can be quite annoying, needing the webmaster to install 10, 20, 30, or more plugins.

This is how Shortcodes Ultimate has become to be so famous in the WordPress community, providing a large list of shortcodes, all in one single plugin.

To use the plugin, after you install it, check out your WYSIWYG post editor. A special button will be added, which when pushed will show a modal window from where shortcodes can be selected, configured, and automatically inserted with the page's content.

Installation:

Unpack and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.

Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
