Shortcode implementation

Shortcodes are the quickest way to add dynamic content to your pages. In this situation, we need to create a page for registration. Therefore, we need to create a shortcode that generates the registration form.

We can add shortcodes to our application by including them inside functions.php file of the theme or within any custom plugin. I recommend adding these shortcodes in a custom plugin since you will loos the additional code in functions.php file on theme updates.

Let’s take a look at the shortcode that displays our registration form, as shown in the following code:

    add_shortcode( "register_form", "display_register_form" );
    functiondisplay_register_form(){
      $html = "HTML for registration form";
      return $html;
    }

Then, you can add the shortcode inside the created page using the following code snippet to display the registration form:

    [register_form]
