What are shortcodes?

Shortcodes in WordPress are like shortcuts that let you add special features or content to your website without needing to write complicated code. They are easy to use and save time.

With shortcodes, you can do things like embed videos, create contact forms, display image galleries, or add custom functions to your website. They are handy tools that help users enhance their website’s functionality and design without using code.
