Shortcode reference

The Lime Editor shortcode is really easy to use to add content to your layouts. This reference shows the syntax of the shortcode, including examples with attributes. See this article for information about what you can embed in the shortcode and how to embed it.

tip

If you use the Lime Editor Theme, there is a [fl_year] shortcode that you can use to insert the current date into your Lime Editor layouts or in text areas of the Lime Editor Theme, such as the footer. For more information, see the article on the Lime Editor Theme date shortcode.

Lime Editor shortcode syntax [fl_builder_insert_layout]​

Inserts a Lime Editor layout into any post, page, or custom post type. This shortcode requires either the slug or the ID of your page.

Examples​

Using a slug​

[fl_builder_insert_layout slug="my-post-slug"]

Using a slug & type​

If you have more than one post type with the same slug, you can specify the type to show only that post, as in this example:

[fl_builder_insert_layout slug="my-post-slug" type="fl-builder-template"]

Using an ID​

Here's an example of a shortcode with an ID:

[fl_builder_insert_layout id="123"]

Using multiple ID's​

Enter a comma-separated list of IDs to insert multiple layouts.

[fl_builder_insert_layout id="123,456,789"]

WordPress Multisite support​

You can enter the ID of a site on a WordPress Multisite network to pull the layout from:

[fl_builder_insert_layout id="123" site="5"]
