The “Current Post Shortcode” plugin allows you to display post titles and custom field values using simple shortcodes. You can display the current post’s title or meta information, or specify a post ID to retrieve data from a specific post.

Display Current Post Title and Meta Information:

  • Post Title: [current_post] Outputs the current post title, e.g., “Hello World”
  • Post Meta (Custom Field): [current_post meta="custom_field"] Outputs the value of the custom field

Display Data from a Specific Post ID:

  • Post Title: [current_post id="123"] Outputs the title of the post with ID “123”
  • Post Meta (Custom Field): [current_post id="123" meta="custom_field"] Outputs the value of the custom field in the post with ID “123”

Display Fallback Meta Value:

[current_post meta="custom_field" default="Default Value"]   Displays "Default Value" if the custom field is empty

Display Default Value for Zero Meta Value:

[current_post meta="custom_field" default="Default Value" skip="true"]   Displays "Default Value" if the custom field value is zero
