Shortcodes
Shortcodes
The myCred plugin comes packed with shortcodes that were built to help you present point related information to your users, on the front end of your website. Using shortcodes are voluntary, if you prefer to present information your own way, thats perfectly fine!
Anyone who can publish content on your website can potentially use myCred shortcodes! The plugin can not stop a shortcode from being inserted where it shouldn't be used, or by someone who should not be allowed to use them.
