1. Button Varieties

Using our buttons shortcodes, you can easily create a variety of buttons. These buttons all stem from a single tag, but vary in color and size (each of which are adjustable using color="" and type="" parameters). Furthermore, advanced option buttons have been integrated into the post page text editor, allowing you to instantly generate buttons of any type without having to write the shortcode markup yourself.

2. Content Boxes

Content boxes are a great way to grab your visitor’s eye and direct them to important content within the post. The ElegantThemes shortcode pack comes with five box variations, all of which stem from the [ box ] shortcode and are adjustable using the type=”" parameter. These boxes have a fluid width that automatically adjusts the the size of its parent element. In this example, each box is placed within a [ one_third ] column.

Now you can create toggled content on the fly using the [ lear_more ] shortcode. Any content can be added within the toggled div, and you can even specify whether the element should be open or closed on page load. The toggled content shortcode has a fluid width, meaning it can adapt to any size page (as shown below).

4. Tabbed Content

Now you can create tabbed content with the click of a button using the [ tab ] shortcode. This shortocode has two variations (horizontal and vertical tabs) and has options for auto-rotation, rotation speed and transition animation. These tabs have a fluid width, which means that they can adjust to any page size. In this example each tabbed element has been placed within a [ one_half ] column. We have also integrated advanced buttons for the tabs shortcode, allowing you to create your tabs through a graphical interface rather than having to write the shortcode markup yourself.
