== Frequently Asked Questions == |
| 158 |
|
| 159 |
= Does WP Coder support Network activation? = |
| 160 |
|
| 161 |
Currently, WP Coder doesn't support network-wide activation. If you're using WordPress Multisite, activate the plugin individually on each site within your network. |
| 162 |
|
| 163 |
= Where can I find detailed documentation? = |
| 164 |
|
| 165 |
Visit our comprehensive [official documentation](https://wpcoder.pro/category/documentation/) for detailed guides and step-by-step instructions. |
| 166 |
|
| 167 |
= How can I use shortcode content in HTML code? = |
| 168 |
|
| 169 |
If you include content within the shortcode like `[wp_code id="1"]Some Text[/wp_code]`, you can insert this content into your HTML snippet using the variable `{{$shortcode_content}}`. |
| 170 |
|
| 171 |
= Can I use shortcodes from other plugins within WP Coder snippets? = |
| 172 |
|
| 173 |
Absolutely! WP Coder allows you to embed shortcodes from any plugin within your HTML snippet content. You can also use WP Coder’s own shortcodes, offering enhanced flexibility for customization. |
| 174 |
|
| 175 |
= What is the purpose of tags in the 'Publish' block? = |
| 176 |
|
| 177 |
Tags help categorize and organize your snippets. When creating or editing a snippet, assign tags in the 'Publish' block to easily filter and manage your snippets later. |
| 178 |
|
| 179 |
= How do I use the link feature in the 'Publish' block? = |
| 180 |
|
