Shortcode Galaxy gives site admins a practical set of utility shortcodes without forcing all of them to load on every request.

The plugin includes a growing shortcode library for common needs like:

  • Current date and time output
  • Site title, URLs, theme info, and WordPress version
  • Login, logout, registration, and privacy policy URLs
  • Current post fields such as title, excerpt, author, and featured image URL
  • Current user fields such as display name, email, and role
  • WooCommerce cart, account, checkout, and product data helpers
  • Query and archive helpers

Every shortcode is disabled by default. Enable only the ones you want from the plugin settings screen, where each shortcode is shown in a grid with a short description, example output, attribute docs, and a shortcode builder.

The shortcode builder is also available directly inside:

  • The WordPress block editor on the core **Shortcode** block toolbar
  • Elementor on the **Shortcode** widget sidebar via the **Browse Shortcodes** button
