How To Use
Use Shortcodes
Shortcodes can be used in any page or post on your site. By default:
[dkp k=”your-field-key”]
If you would like to display an error if the key is not found:
[dkp k=”your-field-key” e=true]
To add this into a template, just use the “do_shortcode” function:
<?php if (function_exists(‘dkp_func’)) echo do_shortcode(“[dkp k=’your-field-key’]”); ?>
Of course, why do that when you have functions you can use:
<?php the_dkp_field($field_key, $error); ?>
This will print the value right there, or if you need to use the variable prior to printing it, use:
<?php $value = get_dkp_field($field_key, $error); ?>
