What are shortcodes?

Shortcodes in WordPress can be used as a simple way to include new functionality on your website. Shortcodes consist of two brackets [] with in between the name of the short code (like so [shortcode-name]).

The OTYS Plugin uses shortcodes to display new functionalities on your website. When the plugin has been activated and a valid API key has been added a bunch of shortcodes are available to use.
