Adding plugins to pages

  • Ok, so.. I’m brand new to word press.

    I’ve pretty much been figuring everything out on my own up until this point, I seem to have gotten stuck. I’ve googled this many times but for some reason I can’t find the answer.

    I’m installing new plugins, things like paypal buttons. Anyway, after installing the plugin, I don’t know how to get it on the actual page. I’ve come to find out that you use the plugins short code to place it on the page.

    The problem is, I don’t know where to find the short code for the plugins. Sometimes I’ll stumble on them looking through the edit feature for the plugin.

    Do I have to create a shortcode for each plugin? and can I see a list of short codes?

    Also one more thing… My main goal here is to be able to have a user sign up to my to my site, login and purchase a service, after they purchase this service they will be directed to a page which allows them to upload files to me. I will be servicing these files.

    How advanced do I have to be to achieve this goal? lol..

    Anyway, any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks everyone.

  • Not all plugins use shortcodes. The plugin’s read me (Plugins/Editor)will almost always explain usage. Some actually require some coding, other have admin settings.

    For allowing users to send you files, just get a form plugin(there’s probably 100 or more) Most all allow for file attachment. You can find plugin which allow for redirect after login as well.

    Cool thanks,

    I’ve been messing around and I’ve found a lot more out.

    I’m just searching for a good file upload plugin. Something that has a progress bar, something nice. Only thing I’ve found that has been somewhat of what I want so far is the Inline Uploader.

    Thanks for the response.
