Hi there,
first of all thanks for the great plugin.
However i need a simple fix for my need.
I want to add 500-600 short codes to the plugin database instead of entering them one by one manually.
The shortcode names and the contents of the shortcodes are ready.
How can i add them into the plugins’s database.

Thanks in advance

Hi Chris,

Thanks for using my plugin.

Currently you can import shortcodes which are exported.

But no way to import custom shortcodes.

Can you please tell me what is the format the shortcodes are ready with you ?
Is it in JSON, text or CSV ?

If you are aware of PHP I can guide you to write a onetime script to import them
or else I can write it for you.

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi, thanks for the response.
Actually i have a list of excel file that has 2 columns: shortcode name and content
i can convert it into csv for sure.

i am not so familiar to php in order to write a kind of script. But it’d be very nice if you can write one for me.
Actually i can/would also recommend you to add a batch/mass import short codes feature to your plugin which doesnt exist on the wp plugin market.
So you can create a paid version of your plugin and let users get the premium features.

Thanks in advance

Thanks,
