Flex Shortcodes

Flex Shortcodes stores HTML once and reuses it in posts, pages, widgets, and templates. Each snippet is a private WordPress post. Only published snippets print on the front end. PHP is never executed.

• Insert by slug: [flexshortcodes name="promo-banner"] or by ID: [flexshortcodes id="123"]
• Flex Shortcode block in the block editor, and a Flex Shortcode button in the classic editor
• Optional parameters: [flexshortcodes name="button" label="Buy"] fills {{label}} in the HTML
• Groups to organize the admin list (they do not change front-end output)
• Duplicate a snippet, and find usages in posts, pages, and text widgets
• JSON import and export (groups included)
• Nested WordPress shortcodes, including other [flexshortcodes] tags, with circular includes blocked
• Optional wrapper (div or span); off by default so snippets can be used inline
• One-click copy from the list table and the editor sidebar
• HTML-only editor so TinyMCE does not rewrite markup
• Clean uninstall removes settings, snippet posts, and groups

No remote calls. CSS and JavaScript load from this plugin only.

Content rules

• Saved HTML follows your WordPress capabilities (unfiltered_html for trusted roles)
• Front-end output is sanitized with wp_kses_post() (post-allowed HTML only)
• PHP is never executed
• Missing or unpublished shortcodes output nothing on the front end
• Parameter values are HTML-escaped; name and id are reserved for lookup

Privacy

Flex Shortcodes stores shortcode titles, HTML, and optional group names in your WordPress database as custom posts and a private taxonomy. It does not send data to external servers and does not load third-party services.
