Custom Content Shortcode is THE way to go to take control of your WordPress installation if you cannot modify the source code, either because you cannot access it (eg. if your site is hosted on WordPress.com), or because you simply don’t want to.

These shortcodes are perfectly well thought and designed, they are just coherent and consistent all the way. It just feels like they are a native feature of WordPress.

Combine with custom post type plugins like WCK and ACF to unlock the full power of WP, without the need to modify a single source file.

The provided documentation is handy and enough to get started. Suggestion: There should be a way to list the installation’s available post types and fields, right in the documentation section. That would be very handy.

Tip: enabling the “Raw” option in the plugin settings will allow you to effectively disable the WordPress formatter where needed in order to do absolutely anything you need within WordPress pages and posts, with complete control over the output by using HTML, CSS and shortcodes from this plugin.

Thanks for this plugin and for maintaining it!
