Basic URL ShortCodes

Sometimes you need to display your website’s base URL, active theme URL or uploads folder URL directly inside your content editor.

Basic URL Shortcodes allows you to easily insert important WordPress URLs using simple shortcodes inside posts, pages and widgets.

Available Shortcodes

[home_url]
Outputs the website’s home URL (as set in WordPress Settings).
Example:
http://localhost/wp-demo

[theme_url_template]
Outputs the URL of the currently active theme (child theme supported).
Example:
http://localhost/wp-demo/wp-content/themes/mytheme

[UPLOAD_URL]
Outputs the base URL of the WordPress uploads directory.
Example:
http://localhost/wp-demo/wp-content/uploads

These shortcodes are useful when building custom layouts, inserting dynamic links or when theme customization options are limited.

Lightweight, simple and fully compatible with modern WordPress editors.
