Basic URL Shortcodes allows you to easily insert important WordPress URLs using simple shortcodes inside posts, pages and widgets. #### Available Shortcodes **[home_url]** Outputs the website’s home URL (as set in WordPress Settings). Example: http://localhost/wp-demo **[theme_url_template]** Outputs the URL of the currently active theme (child theme supported). Example: http://localhost/wp-demo/wp-content/themes/mytheme **[UPLOAD_URL]** Outputs the base URL of the WordPress uploads directory. Example: http://localhost/wp-demo/wp-content/uploads These shortcodes are useful when building custom layouts, inserting dynamic links or when theme customization options are limited. Lightweight, simple and fully compatible with modern WordPress editors. ### License This plugin uses the GPLv3 license. ## Sawir-shaashado [⌊Sample short code use.⌉⌊Sample short code use.⌉[ Sample short code use.

This one is just a screen-height of simplicity that just adds the shortcodes it says it does. Perfect 🙂 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/272b6ea380d3b5632d977768820daf10da195cbb6182b96fee367cf0268b98ef? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great basic plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-basic-plugin/)󠁿 [kpdeveloper65](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kpdeveloper65/) 19 Sebteembar, 2019 Great basic plugin Exactly what I was looking for.
