ClickTribe shortcodes are a powerful tool that can help you add complex functionality to your pages without having to write any code. Shortcodes are small snippets of code that are wrapped in brackets and can be added to your content to create dynamic and interactive elements.
In this tutorial, we'll show you how to use ClickTribe shortcodes to add various types of content to your pages, including buttons, columns, tabs, and more.
Step 1: Find the Shortcode You Want to Use
The first step is to find the shortcode you want to use. ClickTribe comes with many built-in shortcodes, and you can also find third-party plugins that offer additional shortcodes.
To find the built-in shortcodes, go to the ClickTribe Shortcodes page in the documentation. Here you will find a list of all the shortcodes that are available to you, along with a description of what each one does.
Step 2: Add the Shortcode to Your Content
Once you've found the shortcode you want to use, it's time to add it to your content. To do this, simply type the shortcode into the content editor wherever you want the element to appear.
For example, if you want to add a button to your page, you can use the following shortcode:
[button url="http://example.com" target="_blank"]Click Here[/button]
This will create a button that, when clicked, will take the user to the URL specified in the shortcode.
Step 3: Customize the Shortcode
Many shortcodes come with additional options that allow you to customize their appearance or behavior. For example, the button shortcode we used in the previous step allows you to specify the URL the button should link to, as well as the target of the link.
To customize a shortcode, simply add the relevant options to the shortcode. For example, to change the color of the button we created earlier, we can use the following shortcode:
[button url="http://example.com" target="_blank" color="red"]Click Here[/button]
This will create a red button instead of the default blue button.
Step 4: Preview and Publish
Once you've added and customized your shortcode, it's time to preview your page to make sure everything looks and works as expected. To do this, simply click the Preview button in the top-right corner of the editor.
If you're happy with the way everything looks, you can go ahead and publish your page or post.
ClickTribe shortcodes are a powerful tool that can help you add complex functionality to your pages without having to write any code. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you should now have a good understanding of how to use ClickTribe shortcodes to add various types of content to your pages.
