Exactly what i need!

I was looking for a plugin that was able to have 1 content/text to placed on different pages. So if I changes the text it is changed on the pages where I put the shortcode.
Love this plugin!

Lots of possibilities. A great developer who responds to feedback and introduces updates.
Very useful for creating a library of handy snippets of code or text

Exactly what I was looking for. Very useful for inserting snippets of texts, copyright notices, HTML, JavaScript, PHP or whatever comes to your mind. When I had an issue with the license key, the developer was very quick to respond and help me out. The lifetime license doesn’t cost the earth. Money well spent.
Great plugin

This free plugin makes life with WordPress so much easier. It works just fine! I had a proposal and got fast response.
One can edit existing shortcode and create new ones without any problem. Just click large the blue buttom “Add a new Shortcoed Variable” if you want to create another new shortcode or click the symbol “Edit” which is located right of each shortcode just next to the “Delete” icon!
Thanks for this plugin
Bait and Switch
by Ed G·5 years ago·1 reply
I installed the plugin and created a shortcode. Coming back later to revise the value of the shortcode, I learned that you cannot change an existing shortcode or add a new one unless you purchase the “premium” edition. This is blatant bait and switch and would be illegal under US law.
