    This is a suggestion on how to enhance this plugin, not a support thread. Anyhow, this is a really useful plugin, I added it to my list of essential plugins for working with WP. What would make this a whole lot better is if it doesn’t just tell you the name of the shorttag, but also has like a link that will give you debugging into such as what plugin a shorttag came from, the name of the file(s) that called the shorttag function etc. Should be pretty easy to do. For jetpacks shorttags, it would be pretty easy to get the information about what the shorttag does from the files in the jetpack plugin folder. The more info you provide, the more useful this plugin becomes. Thus, the more people will be donating to ensure you keep developingthe plugin.

    After that, you could add a shortlist tags link in the settings menu, then make a proper settings page, in there you can let people enter and save their own custom shorttags. Again, not difficult to do, but will make the plugin much more useful. I may take a crack at upgrading the plugin myself, I’ll give you the code if I do get anything working.

    Great suggestions. I originally set this plugin up because I had a site that used a bunch of shortcodes for various purposes and I could never remember what they all were. I found myself searching all of the plugin’s FAQ pages or support threads to remind myself what each plugin’s shortcodes were.
    This just made my search a little easier. Ideally I would also like to include some information about variables that each plugin can use (i.e. [shortcode url=””]).
    I also haven’t had a ton of time to devote to this, so if you happen to come up with any improvements please send them over and I’ll update the plugin with proper credit.
    Thanks!
