All BSE shortcodes support escaped fallback text when output is empty. Text helpers offer wrapper="none"; post date/time and site-modification helpers offer semantic="true" for the selected item’s datetime. Images and embedded content retain their markup.
No. Open Tools → Builder Shortcode Extras to find or generate a shortcode. The page does not save settings.
Use a WordPress Shortcode block or a builder field that explicitly supports shortcodes. Arbitrary text, URL and HTML fields do not necessarily execute them.
The generator creates copyright, publication/modification dates, post links, embedded content, titles, excerpts, featured images and reading time. Other helpers remain in the searchable catalog.
Yes. The interface and task descriptions follow your WordPress admin language. Shortcode and attribute names remain unchanged.
Open the item in WordPress. Search for a title in the generator or use the number after post= in the editor URL. Supported template list tables also show shortcode examples.
Leave post_id empty to use the current WordPress post. Specify an ID for another item. A page-builder preview may have a different context from the final page.
Choose Relative date in the generator or use format="relative". Relative output uses the existing elapsed-time helper.
Most text helpers accept wrapper, class, before and after. Multiple classes are supported. Unsafe or unsupported wrapper tags fall back to span. Text helpers support wrapper="none"; embedding, menus, comment forms and images retain their own markup. fallback supplies escaped text when no value is available.
The help and generator load assets only on their own admin page. Embedded builder templates may load their builder’s own assets, and the comment form may rely on WordPress resources.
Check the ID, publication status and required builder. Visitors cannot embed private, draft, trashed or password-protected content without the required access. Recursive references stop with empty output.
Yes. Embedded content is passed through native block rendering and shortcode processing. Full theme content filters are intentionally not applied.
The bse-elementor-template integration is registered with Elementor Free when Pro is inactive. The generic content helper can route Elementor-built items when Elementor is available.
Yes. Items with _fl_builder_enabled use Beaver’s own saved-layout shortcode. Merely installing Beaver does not reroute ordinary posts. No additional Beaver features were added.
Yes. The existing Genesis footer and breadcrumb helpers remain available with Genesis 3.1+. They are maintained as compatibility features.
The bse-wpblock helper is available whenever WordPress registers the wp_block post type. A legacy extra Blocks menu is no longer added.
The generator constructs valid shortcode syntax locally. View the actual output on a test page with the intended post and builder context.
The interface tries the browser clipboard, then a local copy fallback. If copying is unavailable, it selects the text for manual copying. Examples remain readable without JavaScript.
The bundled deckerweb updater checks this public GitHub repository for newer stable releases through the regular WordPress update system. It does not automatically install prereleases or enable automatic updates. Test releases are installed manually.
The embedded deckerweb Library adds a curated catalog under Plugins → Add New → deckerweb. Its preferences live under Settings → deckerweb Library, or Network Settings on Multisite. Opening the catalog installs nothing. Installation and activation are separate actions.
BSE has no usage telemetry. Generator searches send the search term to the current WordPress website only. The updater requests GitHub release metadata. The Library uses its bundled catalog by default; online catalog updates require explicit configuration. Servers naturally see the requesting IP address.
Names, aliases and output filters remain. PHP 8.0 is now required. Invalid wrappers fall back to span, text is escaped more consistently, inaccessible embedded content is withheld, and wp-admin shortcode registration follows its opt-in filter.
Developers can return true from bse/filter/shortcodes_in_admin. Content embedding, navigation, comment forms and builder/Genesis rendering remain excluded there. REST requests remain available for frontend rendering.
BSE can be activated per website or network-wide. Content IDs belong to the current website. Website administrators use Tools → Builder Shortcode Extras; super administrators also have Network Settings → Builder Shortcode Extras. Library preferences are shared per network.
WordPress 6.7+ and PHP 8.0+. Library installation requires ZipArchive. Report reproducible issues on GitHub with plugin, WordPress, PHP and builder versions. Commercial builder adapters were checked with representative fixtures, not licensed builder installations.
BSE saves no shortcode or generator settings. Deactivation preserves all data. Uninstall clears only its temporary updater cache and releases Library ownership. Other installed Library hosts, even inactive, protect shared data. The final host removes temporary Library data; preferences remain unless the Library deletion option was enabled. Posts, shortcodes, installed plugins and foreign data remain.
No. Shortcode attributes can select constants whose names end in VERSION or VER. Other constants require an explicit trusted PHP default filter. Do not use developer filters to expose installation secrets.
Use Security → Advisories → Report a vulnerability in this plugin’s GitHub repository. Include plugin, Library and environment versions plus a minimal reproduction, without credentials. Keep details out of public issues. See SECURITY.md.
Use post_id to select readable content or omit it for the current frontend item. Excerpts use an explicit excerpt or stored text, with words between 1 and 500. Images use registered WordPress sizes and native responsive markup. Reading time counts stored prose without executing embedded shortcodes; wpm is limited to 50–1000. Builder-only markup and image-heavy articles can produce incomplete estimates.
fallback is escaped plain text for missing output, including inaccessible content; it never grants access. semantic="true" adds time/datetime markup to post publication/modification dates. wrapper="none" removes only the text helper’s outer wrapper; links and semantic time markup remain.
After two characters the generator searches the current website through authenticated WordPress AJAX. A nonce and administrator capability are required. At most ten readable title/ID results are returned. No search terms are sent to GitHub or external services; manual IDs remain available when search fails.
add_filter( 'bse/filter/shortcodes_in_admin', '__return_true' );Existing bse/filter/shortcode_defaults/* and bse/filter/shortcode/* filters remain. PHP callbacks are trusted developer code and may return HTML. Menus use a safe default callback; custom callbacks are configured only through PHP defaults filters.
