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.

Overview

About this plugin

Simple Custom Content (SCC) enables you to add custom content to all of your WP Posts and RSS Feeds. Additionally, SCC provides several shortcodes for adding custom content to individual Posts, Pages, or any location in your theme template. This plugin is ideal for adding copyright information, official policies, disclaimers, credits, thank-you messages, custom links, special offers, and anything you can imagine.

Features

  • Custom content can be text and/or markup
  • Display custom content automatically on all WP Posts
  • Display custom content automatically on all RSS Feeds
  • Optionally display custom content only in Post Excerpts
  • Optionally display custom content only in Feed Excerpts
  • Provides setting to reset all plugin options to default values
  • Provides Shortcodes to add custom content to Posts and Pages
  • Specify location of custom content (before or after content)
  • Works perfectly with or without Gutenberg Block Editor
  • Option to limit custom content to WP Posts
  • Option to allow custom content on WP Pages

Automatic Custom Content

For each of the automatic inclusion methods (WP Posts and RSS Feeds), you can specify where you would like to display the custom content:

  • Before content
  • After content
  • Both before and after
  • Do not display (disable)

Post-Specific Custom Content

Here is a summary of the SCC Shortcodes, which may be used to display your custom content based on where it is viewed:

  • [scs_post] – display custom content for single posts
  • [scs_feed] – display custom content for RSS feeds
  • [scs_both] – display custom content for single posts & feeds
  • [scs_alt] – displays content wherever shortcode is included

Dynamic Post Shortcodes

Customize your content with any of the following post variables:

%%id%% = Post ID %%date%% = Post Date %%title%% = Post Title %%author%% = Post Author %%permalink%% = Post URL %%year%% = Current year

You can use any of these shortcut variables in any of your custom content. More info provided in the plugin settings.
