Shortcodes

Demonstration of all shortcodes and some possible configurations. See documentation for more details.

Story Actions Shortcode

Renders the action row of the specified story. All buttons and links will work as if on the story post, aside from the sharing modal which always refers to the current page. This only works on pages with the “Story Page” template set and is intended to create a single-story-centric front page.

story_id (*): The ID of the story.
class: Additional CSS classes, separated by whitespace.
follow: Whether to render the Follow button (if enabled). Default true.
reminder: Whether to render the Reminder button (if enabled). Default true.
subscribe: Whether to render the Subscribe button (if enabled). Default true.
download: Whether to render the ePUB/eBook download button (if enabled). Default true.
rss: Whether to render the RSS link (if enabled). Default true.
share: Whether to render the Share modal button (if enabled). Default true.

[fictioneer_story_actions story_id="182" follow="0" reminder="0" share="0"]

Story Section Shortcode

Renders the chapters, groups, and tabs of the specified story. It will look just as if on the story post. This only works on pages with the “Story Page” template set and is intended to create a single-story-centric front page.

story_id (*): The ID of the story.
class: Additional CSS classes, separated by whitespace.
tabs: Whether to render the tabs (if any). Default false.

[fictioneer_story_section story_id="182" tabs="1" pages="1"]

This is an extra page attached to the story. You can add up to four pages with any content here, provided you also fill out the Short Name property. As you can see, there is not much space for the tabs, so take that into account. Although they can wrap without breaking the layout, it does not quite look as good.

Ideas:

Artworks (or memes)
Lore and history
Character portfolios (meh)
Timeline
Glossary

Story Comments Shortcode

story_id (*): The ID of the story.
class: Additional CSS classes, separated by whitespace.
header: Whether to render the heading with count. Default true.

[fictioneer_story_comments story_id="13" header="0"]

Story Data Shortcode

Renders a single datum from the specified story, such as the word count or age rating. You can use this to show your own self-updating statistics. Just omit the shortcode block and write it directly into the text.

data (*): The requested data, singular. Choose between word_count, chapter_count, status, icon (status), age_rating, rating_letter, comment_count, id, date, time, datetime, categories, tags, genres, fandoms, characters, and warnings.
story_id: The ID of the story. Defaults to current post ID.
format: Special formatting for some data. Mostly used for counts, use “short” or “raw”.
date_format: Formatting string for the date. Defaults to your WordPress settings.
time_format: Formatting string for the time. Defaults to your WordPress settings.

style: Inline CSS style applied to the wrapping element.

The example story Katalepsis has 17 chapters featured on this site, containing a total of 95,765 words.

You can format the word count with "raw" ([fictioneer_story_data story_id="13" data="word_count" format="raw"]) or "short" ([fictioneer_story_data story_id="13" data="word_count" format="short"]).

You can format the word count with “raw” (95765) or “short” (95.8 K).

Katalepsis has the following tags: [fictioneer_story_data story_id="13" data="tags" separator=" | " inner_style="color: var(--red-500);"].

Renders a free Font Awesome icon, which you could technically do manually in the code editor as well. Somewhat more convenient, I guess? Just omit the shortcode block and write it directly into the text.

class (*): Font Awesome CSS classes, separated by whitespace. You can custom ones, too.

On the day I met Raine, the first thing I did was jerk awake in bed and vomit nightmares into my lap. That’s not quite accurate. If I could purge the nightmares like a bad meal then life would be a lot easier. No, I brought up bile and what little I’d managed to keep down over the last couple of days, then dry-heaved…

“We—” I croaked. “We should leave before I pass out.” I was trying very hard not to look at the twitching skeletal shapes descending from the ridge, creeping toward us through the mist. “Leave?” Evelyn’s voice shook.

2.12 – providence or atoms: First, we retraced our steps. More accurately, Raine retraced our steps and led me in her wake. She left no question as to who was going first, back through the double-doors to the corridor of Not-Willow-House. A familiar transformation came over her – watchful, alert, tense. My hand felt clammy in hers, my heart in my throat. In the fake corridors she eased each set of doors open with the tip of her boot, waited for any nasty surprises to jump out at us before proceeding. The Medieval Metaphysics room was gone. As was the back staircase and all the windows; each set of internal double-doors led to another identical stretch of whitewashed corridor, with four classroom doors on each wall and a noticeboard full of philosophy department flyers.…

In the world Sophie actually lived in, she got absolutely lost. She walked and walked and walked, her map effortlessly floating before her, and the more she walked, the more lost she felt. The map—a worn-out thing Flint had fetched from inside an old desk—was doing little to help as well. Words were blurred, streets were crossed out, and many other inconveniences littered the aged document. Such was her trouble trying to decipher the map, she missed out on the many sights the grand city offered. The vagrant snoring away on the street, three giggling children poking…

She shuffled along, wiping her eyes, legs stiff and screaming with every motion. “Look who’s up!” Tess said, far too cheerily. She was at one of her workbenches, wearing huge safety goggles as she did…something. Nadia’s eyes were too weak just yet. She fumbled around at one of her desks, having already given up on coffee—it was never strong enough. Instead she popped open a can of something vile and green, one of those saccharine energy drinks Tess loved so much. She chanced a sip, grimaced, then gulped more down. Bitter and nasty, hiding badly behind tawdry sweetness. But it was…

Two people sit at a bus stop. What they look like isn’t important. Neither are their names. The one on the left holds a paper in their left hand, the thin sheet gently folding in their grip. The one on the right is drumming their right-hand fingers on the bench’s armrest, the rhythmic tapping a soothing lullaby. Their free hands rest at their sides on the bench, their fingers merely inches away…
