Shortcodes Ultimate Plugin

The Shortcodes Ultimate is one of the most powerful plugins for Wordpress that I've ever used. This plugin makes so many things that I need to do frequently so much easier to do that I had to write a post about it. It's staggering to even think about how many different things you can do with this plugin. With 40+ shortcodes to choose from, it offers easier access to a lot of elements that are well coded and responsive.

One of the things I absolutely love about this plugin is that, in addition to all of the customization it offers, the plugin author, Vladimir Anokhin, has included ample opportunities to add your own CSS classes to elements created by the shortcodes ultimate plugin. This allows you to be sure that if there's something you want to do that he didn't already think of, you can still do it yourself!

This plugin has helped me so much in organizing my content on sites! I love how many options there are to customize the appearance of a page or post. You can insert sliders, image galleries, buttons, styled headers, styled lists, custom menus, tabs, lightboxes, and it even allows you to add a custom loop of posts to any page that you like. This posts option is actually very powerful and if you're willing to delve into a little custom PHP, he allows you to create your own template for displaying posts using the shortcode!

I like the free version of this plugin so much that I decided I was gonna spring for one of the paid add ons. The Shortcodes Maker allows you to build your own shortcodes! As someone who wants to work with clients who are less code savvy than I, I was really excited about the idea of having a plugin that would allow me to design custom elements for clients in a way that they would be able to utilize, replicate, and update themselves in the future :-)

The shortcodes maker plugin is truly awesome! I haven't really even scratched the surface of what I want to do with it eventually, but it's just so cool! The user interface is really nice and it makes adding custom styles to elements and some CSS modifications that can be tedious so much more fun to do!

I highly recommend the Shortcodes Ultimate plugin. The Shortcodes Maker add on is a wonderful extension that will allow you to do the things you already do in a way that's more fun and way easier and more efficient to do! Enjoy!!!
