Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Flex Shortcodes version 1.0.3 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Flex Shortcodes stores HTML once and reuses it in posts, pages, widgets, and templates. Each snippet is a private WordPress post. Only published snippets print on the front end.
PHP is never executed.
Insert by slug: [flexshortcodes name="promo-banner"] or by ID: [flexshortcodes id="123"]
Flex Shortcode block in the block editor, and a Flex Shortcode button in the classic editor
Optional parameters: [flexshortcodes name="button" label="Buy"] fills {{label}} in the HTML
Groups to organize the admin list (they do not change front-end output)
Duplicate a snippet, and find usages in posts, pages, and text widgets
JSON import and export (groups included)
Nested WordPress shortcodes, including other [flexshortcodes] tags, with circular includes blocked
Optional wrapper ( div or span ); off by default so snippets can be used inline
One-click copy from the list table and the editor sidebar
HTML-only editor so TinyMCE does not rewrite markup
Clean uninstall removes settings, snippet posts, and groups
No remote calls. CSS and JavaScript load from this plugin only.
Content rules
Saved HTML follows your WordPress capabilities ( unfiltered_html for trusted roles)
Front-end output is sanitized with wp_kses_post() (post-allowed HTML only)
PHP is never executed
Missing or unpublished shortcodes output nothing on the front end
Parameter values are HTML-escaped; name and id are reserved for lookup
Privacy
Flex Shortcodes stores shortcode titles, HTML, and optional group names in your WordPress database as custom posts and a private taxonomy. It does not send data to external servers and does not load third-party services.
