A shortcode is a short tag you paste into WordPress content. Canvasly registers three. The Shortcode unit inside the editor is different: it runs any shortcode you type into that unit.
Updated . Covers Canvasly 0.12.76 and Canvasly Pro 0.6.3.
Saved template
Prints a published saved Canvasly template, including its styles and scripts. If a template embeds itself, that loop is stopped and nothing extra is printed. You can use the template’s number or its title. The number wins when both are present.
Attribute
Default
What you put here
id
0
The saved template’s number. 0, or a missing template, prints nothing.
title
Empty
Used only when id is empty. Canvasly looks up a template with this title.
Example with the template number:
[canvasly_lite_template id="42"]
Example with the template title:
[canvasly_lite_template title="Homepage hero"]
Menu anchor
Wraps the text inside the shortcode in a section that the page can scroll to. A Menu Anchor unit on the canvas can point at the same kind of id. The plugin can also add matching links into a WordPress menu.
Attribute
Default
What you put here
id
Empty
The anchor name, such as contact-us. Links use #contact-us.
class
Empty
Extra class name on the section.
The words between the opening and closing tags are the section content. Shortcodes inside that content are processed.
[canvasly_anchor id="contact-us" class="visit"]Write or call us.[/canvasly_anchor]
Site menu
Prints a WordPress menu. On a narrow screen it becomes a hamburger button. The same choices exist on the Site Menu unit.
Attribute
Default
What you put here
menu
Empty
A classic menu from Appearance → Menus, or a theme location slug such as primary.
layout
horizontal
horizontal or vertical.
breakpoint
782
Width in pixels. Below this width the menu collapses. The unit allows 320 to 1400.
label
Empty
The accessible name of the menu. The placeholder in the unit is Primary.
Under Appearance → Widgets, the Canvasly Template widget shows a saved template in a widget area. It is not a shortcode. Its fields are Title (optional) and Saved Template. If no template is chosen, the widget prints nothing.
