Rescue Shortcodes

Rescue Shortcodes Plugin

A lightweight WordPress shortcodes plugin.

When activated, this plugin will add a button to the WordPress text editor to easily insert shortcodes to your posts or pages.

Included shortcodes:

  • Button – With many options including unlimited colors and Icons.
  • Content Toggle – Maybe for an awesome FAQ page.
  • Tabbed Content – Create tabbed sections for your content.
  • Font Awesome Icons – 500+ icons and counting.
  • Animations – Wrap anything with the animation shortcode and watch it come alive.
  • Google Map – Display a map for any location on any post or page. Requires a Google API key for new sites.
  • Notification Box – Have certain sections of text stand out by creating notices or alerts.
  • Text Highlight – Quickly highlight sections of text to help more important words stand out.
  • Columns – Separate your content with multiple column options.
  • Spacing – Add space between sections on the fly.
  • Progress Bar – Display a sliding progress notification bar

See a demonstration of the shortcodes on the Rescue Themes site.
