The Seashell theme provides full support for our Meks Flexible Shortcodes plugin. You need to install and activate our shortcodes plugin, as described in the Plugins section of this documentation.
In order to access the shortcode generator panel, you need to add a “Classic Block”, into your post or page content, as described in the image below.
Watch an example in this short video:
Below are quick explanations and usage examples for every shortcode we provide.
Columns
You can use this shortcode to split your content into columns and point out some important parts of your page content. They can be used in conjunction with any other shortcodes. You can write any content or insert any shortcode between the column tags.
