Shortcodes are really handy snippets of text that are used to reference certain pieces of data from your site, post, or page. These can be useful for things like using a global email, or rendering the page title somewhere.
Personally, I use them for mailto: links on my site, so I can have a link at the bottom of each post which generates a new email to my address, and populates the subject line with RE: [Post Title].
Pure Blog now supports similar shortcodes, so far only 2 have been added, as that’s what I need, but I may add more in the future.
- `` will render the email address from site settings.
will render the post title.also works for pages.
So if you wanted to use a similar “reply by email” link in your posts, you can add something like:
<a class="button reply-button"href="mailto:?subject=Reply to: ">✉️ Reply by email</a>
