Supports the modern Gutenberg Block Editor (with live preview, customizable accent color pickers, and sidebar controls), traditional shortcodes, and legacy Classic Editor toolbar buttons. #### Shortcode Usage Basic Source attribution: ``` [credits link="https://example.com"]Source Name[/credits] ``` Via attribution: ``` [credits link="https://example.com" type="via"]Via Name[/credits] ``` With a name attribute (instead of wrapped text): ``` [credits name="TechZei" link="https://example.com"] ``` Full set of attributes: * `name` — the attribution name to display. Defaults to the shortcode’s inner content. * `link` — the URL the credit links to (escaped with `esc_url()`). * `source` — an optional secondary label shown alongside the name. * `type` — `source` or `via` badge prefix. * `badge_color`, `link_color`, `link_text_color` — hex color overrides for the accent styling. Example with custom colors: ``` [credits link="https://example.com" type="source" badge_color="#0073aa" link_color="#f0f0f0" link_text_color="#0073aa"]Source Name[/credits] ``` #### Block Usage 1. In the WordPress Block Editor, click **+** or type `/credits` to insert the **Credits Link** block (`credits/shortcode`). 2. Set the Credit Type (Source/Via), attribution name, and Link URL in the block sidebar. 3. Optionally expand Accent Color Settings to customize the badge background, link background, and link text colors. The block renders live in the editor and adapts to modern block themes so the credit line sits flush with paragraph content. ## Screenshots [⌊The credit line rendered on the frontend.⌉⌊The credit line rendered on the frontend .⌉[ The credit line rendered on the frontend.

In your WordPress admin, go to **Plugins > Add New**. 2. Search for “Credits Shortcode & Block”. 3. Click **Install Now**, then **Activate**. Manual installation: 1. Download the plugin from WordPress.org (or this repository) as a `.zip` file. 2. Go to **Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin** and choose the `.zip`, or upload the extracted `credits-shortcode` folder to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory via FTP/SFTP. 3. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress. ## FAQ ### Can I change how the credit line looks? Yes. Use the Accent Color Settings in the block sidebar, the color attributes on the shortcode, or override the CSS classes (`.cre_cate`, `.cre_cate_link`) in ** Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS**. The plugin enqueues minimal default styles that are easy to override. ### Can I add multiple credits per post? Yes. Insert multiple blocks or shortcodes anywhere in a post or page — each one renders its own independent credit line, so you can list several sources. ### What happens if I deactivate the plugin? Shortcode output stops being rendered, so existing `[credits]` tags will appear as plain text inside your post content. Your posts are not modified; simply re-activate the plugin to restore the rendered credit lines. ### How do I change the colors? Per-instance colors can be set with the `badge_color`, `link_color`, and `link_text_color` attributes (hex values) or via the block sidebar color pickers. Site-wide defaults can be overridden with custom CSS targeting the same classes. ### Does it add rel=”nofollow” to the links? No, links use standard anchor markup with escaped URLs. If you need `nofollow` for SEO reasons, you can filter the output with your own markup filter or use a third- party link-management plugin; the credit line is plain HTML so any standard link- filtering plugin will apply to it. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Credits Shortcode & Block” is open source software.

Existing blocks keep their saved colors. * New Settings -> Credits page: store site-wide default credit type and accent colors (saved via the Settings API with hex validation); shortcodes and blocks without explicit values use them. Settings are removed on uninstall. #### 1.3.1 * Sanitize attributes on input (`esc_url_raw`, `sanitize_text_field`, `sanitize_key`,` sanitize_hex_color`). * Escape only when building output: `esc_url()` for href, `esc_html()` for text,` esc_attr( safecss_filter_attr() )` for inline CSS. * Restrict accent colors to hex values and run the final markup through `wp_kses()`. #### 1.3 * Added native Gutenberg Block support (`credits/shortcode`). * Added custom Accent Color Pickers in the Block Editor sidebar and shortcodes. * Added micro-interaction hover lift animations and smooth CSS transitions. * Fixed Stored XSS vulnerability (CVE-2026-6256). #### 1.2 * Initial public release with Classic Editor support. ## Meta * Version **1.4.0** * Last updated **2 days ago** * Active installations **10+** * WordPress version ** 5.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/source-shortcode/) * Tags * [block](https://bn-in.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/block/)[credits](https://bn-in.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/credits/) [shortcode](https://bn-in.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/shortcode/)[source](https://bn-in.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/source/) [via](https://bn-in.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/via/) * [Advanced View](https://bn-in.wordpress.org/plugins/source-shortcode/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
