related articles using shortcodes

Question

I want to make related articles based on the categories in the sidebar using shortcodes so that they can be placed anywhere. can you help me? thanks before.

Answer 1

The best way to add the shortcode is to create a shortcode in your child theme functiuons.php file.

function footag_func( $atts ) {            //Example
    return "foo = {$atts['foo']}";
}
add_shortcode( 'footag', 'footag_func' );

You can refer to this document for WordPress shortcodes detail
