Snippet not showing up

    I followed the instructions to install the snippets plugin and enabled it.

    Then, in the admin area of WP I activated the HTML example snippet:

    add_shortcode( 'shortcode_name', function () {

	$out = '<p>test</p>';

	return $out;
} );

    If I load my website the snippet is not there.

    Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?

    Thanks so much!

    Have you inserted the shortcode into a post or page?

    Oh, I thought it would be automatically injected into the DOM.
    Didn’t know that a snippet must always be part of a page or post.

    Thanks Shea! 🙂

    When you’re making a shortcode snippet like this, you definitely need to!

    If you’re using an action hook then it’ll be automatically injected.
