Description

The Shortcodes add-on is designed for anyone building internal search pages, publishing filterable content, and organizing post catalogs in WordPress, with shortcodes that insert search forms and results blocks connected to SearchWP. In practice, the extension renders SearchWP searches on pages, posts, and shortcode-compatible areas, reducing the need for custom templates to display the search wherever the content needs to appear.
