- Displaying the plugin on the front-end.
The plugin uses the shortcode [gallerix] to display the front-end content. From your Admin Panel create new Page or Post and type [gallerix].
If you want to call it directly through “do_shortcode” use: < ?php echo do_shortcode(“[gallerix]”); ?>
Note:
If you intend to call the shortcode with “echo do_shortcode(“[gallerix]”);” make sure you have loaded the scripts first by using: < ?php Gallerix::enqueue_scripts(); ?>
Shortcode examples:
[gallerix cat="1,2,3" defaultcat="1"] - cat – Category ids to display separated by commas (optional)
- defaultcat – The id of the category to display as a default (optional)
