WordPress Shortcodes

Using shortcodes with WordPress blog posts you need to add featured image, title and description for the post in addition. While with native OnionBuzz custom post types you need to fill the story only. Benefits of shortcodes are that you can add stories anywhere on your website. But with native plugin features you have less worries with formatting. And the great thing is that both methods work great together on one website.

Ad locations

• After each story
• Before each story
• Under the result area of quizzes
• After each X quiz questions or story items (e.g. ‘items’ mean list items in Ranked lists or so)

Requirements and Limitations

• Only one shortcode per page is allowed. No limitations for custom post types though.
• Facebook doesn’t allow to share custom title, description and images since Graph API 2.9. So, It’s NOT possible to share quiz results on Facebook since July 17, 2017. Which means developers can’t customize Facebook sharebox anymore. The quiz page will be shared instead. Meantime, we applied small workaround so you would be able to share result titles inside the sharebox. Screenshot

• RTL is not supported currently.
• We didn’t make tests for multisite compatibility.
