== Description ==

= Overview =  
<br />
From a single field to entire pages, Custom Content Shortcode is a set of commands to display content where you need.

The **[content]** shortcode displays any of the following: *posts, pages, custom post types, custom fields, files, images, attachments, menus,* or *widget areas*.

The **[loop]** shortcode performs query loops. It can display, for example, available products in a category, or excerpts from the 5 most recent posts. You can query by parameters such as: *post type, category, custom taxonomy, date,* and *custom field values*.

There is a reference page under *Settings -> Custom Content*.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

**Q:** How do I remove unwanted formatting inside shortcodes?

**A:** WordPress auto-formats the post content using the wp_autop filter. This can cause unwanted `<p>` and `<br>` tags around line breaks. To prevent this, go to Settings -> Custom Content, and under the settings tab, enable: Move wp_autop to *after* shortcodes.

**Q:** Switching from text to visual editor breaks my HTML.

**A:** The visual editor (TinyMCE) sometimes misinterprets HTML code placed in the text editor. There are several ways to address this issue.

* Disable the visual editor for certain posts or post types, with the [Raw HTML](http://wordpress.org/plugins/raw-html/) plugin. However, if the post needs to be editable by the client, this won't be ideal.

* Put the code in a custom field, then include it in the post. For example: *[content field="code_block"]*

* Put the code in a file, then include it into the post. For example: *[load dir="views" file="recent-posts.html"]*

* You can create a custom field called *html*. This special field is displayed **instead of** the post content. All your HTML and shortcodes can be put there, then place *[content]* where you need the content of the visual editor to appear.

* Put your code in a text widget, and use a plugin like [Widgets on Pages](http://wordpress.org/plugins/widgets-on-pages/).
