WpRecipes.com - Daily recipes to cook with WordPress

To create a shortcode, you first have to create a php function. Let's start with a basic one. Append it to your functions.php file.

function wprecipes() {
    return 'Have you checked out <a href="http://www.wprecipes.com">WpRecipes</a> today?';
}

Once you created your function, you have to use the add_shortcode() function. paste this code just after your function on the functions.php file from your theme:

add_shortcode('wpr', 'wprecipes');

You're now able to use the wpr shortcode. To do so, paste the following line of code on the editor (in HTML mode) while writing a post:

[wpr]

This short code will output the "Have you checked out WpRecipes today?" message.
