  • Pour ceux qui ne sont pas allergique au code, il reste très accessible de se créer ses propres shortcodes. C’est un chouilla plus compliqué que d’installer une extension, mais 1000 fois plus simple que de créer une extension.

    Pourquoi en créer un shortcode ? Tout simplement pour avoir un shortcode totalement personnalisé à son besoin. Ça peut être juste quelques lignes dans le functions.php de son child-theme… ou beaucoup plus selon la complexité de la fonction développée, mais encore une fois, ça reste très accessible si vous avez quelques notions de PHP et idéalement du Codex de WordPress :)

  • Merci pour cette liste, je connais très bien Shortcodes Ultimate, pour l’avoir utilisé sur 2 WP en prod, en revanche je ne connaissais pas UIX Shortcodes & Shortcode Maker qui a retenu mon attention.

    Sinon on aurait pu rajouter également WP Shortcode par MyThemeShop , mais qui reste en dessous des 2 premiers.
