[NewsOnline] Theme Shortcodes Vs. Site Plugins

[Guest]

Before I buy, I want to know about potential problems and workarounds should I eventually switch from one of your WP themes to another. My site will be content heavy (magazine style) and I want to avoid code bloat and the use of in-theme features which won't migrate to a new theme. 

 

As example I've read that in-theme shortcodes and page builders should be avoided. So if this is true, and I use one of your themes, do I ignore the theme shortcodes and use a shortcode plugin instead? Or do I have to create site-specific plugins instead?

 

Thanks.

Hello,

 

Thank you for joining us today.

 

The theme NewsOnline does not come with a builder or shortcodes.

You can use shortcodes with our WP Shortcode Plugin if you want to but the theme does not require it.

Shortcodes are promoted as a feature on the theme description page.

Hello,

 

Yes, the shortcode of the theme is moved to a separate plugin so that it can be used with every theme. You can download that plugin from the below link for using it with your site:

Hope that helps.

 

Thank you.
