Please explain how to create MY NEW simple shortcode, that will by listed in shortcodes dropdown in WYSIWYG editor.
Very important feature is to prevent overwrite it when i update Newspaper theme >> Maybe some kind of my_custom_shortcodes file or database insert?
Hello,
If you plan to modify the theme files in order to add content to the shrotcodes tab, this will not be update proof at all as any change in the theme files will result in the loss of the customization (even if a child theme is used) so the best option would be through a plugin. You can create your own plugin and tie it to the editor by following a few online resources:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/72394/how-to-add-a-shortcode-button-to-the-tinymce-editor
http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/guide-to-creating-your-own-wordpress-editor-buttons–wp-30182
Or maybe you can find a plugin that already has the options you seek: https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-shortcodes/screenshots/
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Thank you Bogdan for help and useful links.
I have got all my needs with combination of “Better shortcodes” + “Shortcoder” plugins.
