The shortcode is a powerful function in WordPress. The shortcode easy to use every where post, page & widget. The shortcode use by third bracket  look like [shortcode].   Today I going describe on this tune “how to register shortcode in WordPress theme”.

To register shortcode need to a function in your theme functions.php file.

function shortcode_function_name( $atts ){
	return "Your HTML or current here";
}
add_shortcode( 'shortcode_name', '</pre>
<pre>shortcode_function_name</pre>
<pre>' );

This is a simple shortcode register format.   On the shortcode take function & a function name which add_shortcode. On the add_shortcode have two name one is function name and another is shortcode name. When using the shortcode name by third bracket like [shortcode_name] than output show return data. Example if you save the shortcode in your theme function and use [shortcode_name] in page or post and view their show Your HTML or current here . Because we are use this on return.
