WP BASE Shortcodes – Adding and Editing

To reduce conflicts and prevent performance impact on your website, WP BASE loads its javascript and css files only to pages in which WP BASE functionality will be used. This is automatically handled by checking WP BASE shortcodes’ existence in the pages to be sent to the browser, before they were sent. We call any page having a WP BASE shortcode a WP BASE page. These are the shortcodes available with the core:

[app_book] The main booking shortcode. By itself it is sufficient to create a complete booking page.

[app_list] Creates list of bookings for client, or service provider or admin.

[app_account] Creates an account page including list of bookings, settings for clients and edit/manage bookings and services for service providers.

There are also other shortcodes added by Addons. They will be explained in their own articles.
