I have a multisite project in which I have WordPress networked multi site.
In my site I have many of the plugins like photo gallery, video gallery, and widget.
I have created shortcode and I use them in the first site. But in other site it is not working. So I wanted to know the solution. How I can use the same shortcode for all the website?
My all website theme is same.
I suggest you to create a Network-only plugin that is Active for all the sites in the network and define your shortcodes inside.
To make specific plugin Network-only you need to add Network: True to your plugin definition, just like the example below.
Change:
/*
Plugin Name: My Awesome Plugin
Plugin URI: http://yourplugin.com/
Description: This is my extremely awesome WordPress plugin
Version: 1.0
Author: John Doe
Author URI: http://yourcompany.com
License: GPLv2
*/
to the following:
/*
Plugin Name: My Awesome Plugin
Plugin URI: http://yourplugin.com/
Description: This is my extremely awesome WordPress plugin
Version: 1.0
Author: John Doe
Author URI: http://yourcompany.com
License: GPLv2
Network: True
*/
After this is done make sure you activate your plugin from the Network Admin and the shortcodes defined in your plugin should work on all the sites in the network.
