Overview
GET params is a plugin providing your pages and posts with shortcodes allowing you to display GET parameters from
the current URL in pages and posts, or show/hide content depending on GET param values.
As an example, I use this plugin so that I can show personalized installation instructions to users of another piece of
software I wrote, simply by directing them to a URL on my WordPress site, along with GET variables chosen to
ensure that custom fields and sections display exactly as required for them to install my software.
See FAQ if you are having problems under WordPress 4.2.3

Nice Plugin! Small syntax question
by lukedohner·6 years ago
Nice plugin – nice naming.
Sorry I have a little question.
techflowai wrote above that this plugin woks in a href.
I tried it and it reverts to the self page. I replaced ” with ‘ .
Can someone paste the code so I can see the syntax?
Here is what I used, but on click it just stays on the same page as the button.
[button target=”_self” hover_type=”default” custom_class=”green” text=”Button Test 1″ link=’ ‘/enrol?name=’sid’ ‘]
thanks!

Works after a small change in href too!

Awesome tool to pass parameters from one page to another and even to href URLs.
Just replace ” with ‘ in the shortcodes and it works.
Thank you for this!
