Template parts are reusable snippets of code stored in your theme directory. Normally, they are called by other template files using the get_template_part() function. This plugin creates a shortcode for calling template parts from the body of a post.
Shortcode usage is: [template part=”somepart”].
Template parts must be stored in a “parts” folder within your theme directory.
If you use custom loops in your template parts, remember to use “reset_query” at the end to return the page to normal.
