Beskrywing
Use Snippy to quickly create your own custom shortcodes.
A Snippy shortcode is built by combining bits. A bit can be a file, like a Stylesheet or a Script, or a piece of code, like HTML, CSS or JavaScript.
The “code” bits can contain placeholders, which are automatically made accessible as shortcode attributes.
Time for a quick example.
Let’s create a shortcode to embed YouTube videos. We’ll add an HTML bit and set the it’s value to the YouTube embed iframe.
<iframe src="https://youtube/embed/JZYYJY4yoK4"/>
Now to make this bit a bit more flexible we will replace the YouTube video id with a placeholder value {{id}}
.
<iframe src="https://youtube/embed/{{id}}"/>
Yay! We’ve finished our first bit!
Now we can create a new Snippy shortcode and add the YouTube iFrame HTML bit. After saving the shortcode we can use our new and shiny YouTube shortcode in the text editor.

Kwel-vrae
- Can I use JavaScript or CSS files instead of HTML
-
Yes, you can select JS and CSS files to be added to a bit, Snippy will automatically load the files when the shortcode is used on a page.
Please note that your server might prevent uploading files with a .js or .css extension. If that’s the case you have to alter the server security settings to allow uploading of these files.
- How do I define placeholders
-
You can define placeholders in bits by wrapping text in brackets like this:
{{placeholder}}
.Suppose you want to create a placeholder for a YouTube video. You’d replace the YouTube video id with
{{id}}
.<iframe src="https://youtube/embed/{{id}}"/>
Now the attribute id is available in any shortcode that uses the YouTube HTML bit.

- How do I set a placeholder default value
-
Placeholder default values can be set by following the placeholder name with a semicolon and then the default value.
{{name:John Doe}}
- Which default placeholders can I use
-
The following list of placeholders have a special function:
{{content}}
is always replaced with the content wrapped by your shortcode.{{date_today}}
is replaced with an ISO8601 representation of today’s date.{{date_tomorrow}}
is replaced with an ISO8601 representation of today’s date.{{unique_id}}
is replaced with a uniquely generated id.{{shortcode_id}}
is replaced with the id of the current shortcode.{{bit_id}}
is replaced with the id of the current bit.{{page_id}}
is replaced with the current page id.{{page_relative_url}}
relative url to the current page.{{page_absolute_url}}
absolute url to the current page (includes the domain).{{theme}}
current theme name.{{theme_root_uri}}
theme directory URI.{{template_directory_uri}}
