Insert Shortcodes Anywhere

Shortcodes can be easily built and inserted anywhere in your site:

In the WYSIWYG content editor of your pages/posts – once the plugin is activated you have a new button in the editor called “Insert OTW Shortcode”
In OTW Grid Manager – once you create your page layout fill it with content – shortcodes
In any sidebar – use the “OTW Shortcode Widget” in your widgets section. Drop it in any sidebar and choose a shortcode from the list.
Template files – place any shortcode in any template file by using the WordPress do_shortcode function.

Create Custom Shortcodes

Custom Shortcodes are an easy way to add your own shortcode that you will be able to use in the OTW interface along with the other OTW shortcodes. You will be also able to place them in your page/post content editor and anywhere in your template files too.

Create new shortcode, select your controls, label them, rearrange them. Then you will see your shortcode in the shortcodes list, working with the shortcodes interface. Again no coding is required.

Import Shortcodes from Other Plugins and Your Theme

Import shortcodes from other plugins and your theme so you can use them in the Content Manager plugin interfaces. For example you have a [mygallery] shortcode that generates a gallery and you want to use that gallery in a custom page layout created with the Content Manager plugin. Import that shortcode so you can have it in the interface along with the other OTW shortcodes.

Unlimited Styling

The plugin will follow your theme styling for the main html tags so whatever you create with the plugin fits your theme design.

If you need to further style here are your options:

Each shortcode has it’s unique CSS class that can be used to style all shortcodes of the same type.
Create a new class for each instance of a shortcode in its interface so you can style shortcodes individually.
Create and load new skins within your WordPress admin area.

Translation/Localization

This plugin comes Localization/Internationalization ready. It is following WordPress I18n standards. It can be easily translated or localized in other languages different than English. We have included .po/.mo files.
