The Shortcode

Aggregator offers a shortcode that lets you embed any Display on your site.

After creating a Display, simply use its ID within the shortcode to embed it wherever you need.

Shortcode Structure

The basic shortcode is:

[wp-rss-aggregator]

With a Display ID, it looks like this:

[wp-rss-aggregator id="2"]

Block Editor (Gutenberg)

For users of the modern WordPress Block Editor, embedding a Display is quick and intuitive:

1. Copy the shortcode from the Displays list or the Display editor, with the ID included.
2. Create or edit a Page or Post.
3. Click the + icon and add a Shortcode block.
4. Paste the copied shortcode into the block.
5. Publish or update the Page or Post.

Note: While you can use the shortcode block, we recommend using the dedicated Aggregator block instead for a more seamless integration.

Classic Editor

If you’re using the Classic Editor, you can manually insert the shortcode into your content:

1. Copy the shortcode from the Displays list or the Display editor, with the ID included.
2. Create or edit a Page or Post.
3. Paste the shortcode directly into the content area.
4. Publish or update the Page or Post

Note: The legacy TinyMCE button in the classic editor that was used to insert shortcodes in Aggregator v4 has been removed in v5. All shortcode insertions must now be done manually.
