Title: Shortcodes plugin recommendation?? Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Shortcodes plugin recommendation?? * [mako2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mako2/) * (@mako2) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-plugin-recommendation/) * Hello, * I want to start using shortcodes in my blog and I see there are a lot of free shortcodes plugins. I have just installed J-Shortcodes version: 1.405 and I though I was going to have a shortcode menu or button in my post area with a drop-down list with all the possible shortcodes, etc. Instead, I need to add all the shortcodes code by hand into each post. This is not exactly what I want as I am not very good with programing. * Can anyone recommend a shortcode plugin that is easy to use and does not require adding the code manually into the post? * Thanks for your help! * MK Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Thread Starter [mako2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mako2/) * (@mako2) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-plugin-recommendation/#post-2152601) * Can anyone recommend a shortcode plugin that is easy to use and does not require adding the code manually into the post but instead it has the shortcodes in the post toggle? * Thanks for your help! * MK * Thread Starter [mako2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mako2/) * (@mako2) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-plugin-recommendation/#post-2152624) * Hello everyone! I just found what I was looking for. Just in case anyone is looking for the same, I have researched all the shortcode plugins and this seems to be the easiest to use [http://www.shortcodekid.com/](http://www.shortcodekid.com/)( no code knowledge needed at all!) * [ekajatik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ekajatik/) * (@ekajatik) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-plugin-recommendation/#post-2152677) * That plugin is a scam. The website is now down, and he has taken down his email address also. The guy was called Matt. * I bought the plugin, which failed to even install without errors, Matt failed to get in touch with me after I let him know, then failed to give me a refund( regardless the guaranteed money back stuff on his website), claiming that I needed to get in touch with clickbank for a refund. * Lesson is this, buy from a recognised source such as codecanyon. * And if you know who this guy is, please let me know. * Thread Starter [mako2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mako2/) * (@mako2) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-plugin-recommendation/#post-2152678) * I finally bought it finally and it works fine. However, I tied to contact him twice about a customization and he never responded my emails. Lesson learned now. * [sbernado](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sbernado/) * (@sbernado) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-plugin-recommendation/#post-2152684) * Hi Guys, * **Good news. This site is under new ownership by someone who cares about you.** * I am so sorry to hear of all the issues you are all having with the plugin. I just purchased the Shortcodekid.com website and plugin from Matt via Flippa 13 days ago. This is not the feedback I was hoping for, but I will do everything to make this right for you. * I want to invite you to email me directly at [scott@shortcodekid.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-plugin-recommendation/scott@shortcodekid.com?output_format=md) if you have any questions or problems. * I assure you this plugin is not a scam, nor will people be taken advantage of. There is a 60 day money back guarantee via Clickbank. I know one poster above has already taken action on this, and quite frankly I don’t blame him. I’d do the same thing if the software did not work and no one would help me out. * In fact, I will even offer to give out 5 copies to the next 5 people who request it by sending me an email at the address above. All I ask is for your feedback, if you have any questions or troubles with the plugin. I want this to work as much as you do 🙂 * Again, I apologize for any inconvenience you may have had with this product and I hope you will be willing to give it another try. * In addition, I also am the creator of AlohaThemes.com so I am very invested in my customers’ satisfaction. Please contact me directly if you need assistance. * Take care – Scott * [sbernado](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sbernado/) * (@sbernado) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-plugin-recommendation/#post-2152689) * Just wanted to post an update to the above post. The free copy offer has expired.

He has written to me several times asking me about the issues I had and he has kept me updated of all the improvements. * shortcodekid.com is not a scam and I can highly recommend it now. * MK * Thread Starter [mako2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mako2/) * (@mako2) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-plugin-recommendation/#post-2152698) * I made a typo on my previous post.
