What is A Shortcode?

A shortcode is a small piece of code that you can add to your website pages. A shortcode can be used to add different things on the website page, like displaying a contact form or a video.  For example, if you wanted to add a YouTube video to your post, you could use a shortcode to display the video.

Shortcodes are also a great way for you to add unique features to your website without having to do any coding. Using a shortcode is as simple as adding a new tag to the page or posting content.

Benefits of Using Shortcodes in Divi Theme

Shortcodes are a very useful tool in WordPress. They allow you to do a lot of stuff, such as adding buttons, displaying menus, and others. Shortcodes are very useful for adding content in a nice and simple way.

Here are some of the great benefits of shortcodes in the Divi theme:

How to Add Shortcodes in Divi Theme

Now, you have learned what shortcode is and why it’s important for websites, it’s time to learn how you can simply add shortcodes in Divi theme pages.

You will learn this through two different methods mentioned below:

• Using Divi Text Module
• Using Divi Code Module

Method 1: Add Shortcodes in Divi Theme Using Text Module

The first method we can use to insert shortcodes in Divi theme pages is to use the “Divi Text Module”. It is because it is basically an HTML module, as you can see all the HTML code when you switch from the Visual to Text tab.

Here are easy-to-follow steps:

Visit your WordPress dashboard and open any post or page where you wish to add the shortcode and display content.

Instead of editing a new post or page, you can also create a new post or page. After that, simply click on “Edit With The Divi Builder” to launch Divi builder, as shown in the above image.

Now, click on the “+” icon and insert a row, as shown in the above image. Here, I am using a single row as an example.

Next, you need to select the module from the available options. Here, you need to select “Text Module” similar to the above image.

In this step, you must note a thing that you should not enter or paste your shortcode under the “Visual” tab. To add a shortcode, you must switch to the “Text” tab and then enter the shortcode, as shown in the above image.

In the above step, I entered the contact form shortcode. After saving the page, you can see the shortcode content as shown in the above image.

In our case, it is displaying a contact form.

Method 2: Add Shortcodes in Divi Theme Using Code Module

Another great way to add shortcodes in Divi theme pages is to use the “Divi Code Module.” It is a Divi module that allows users to insert any type of HTML code snippet into any post or page.

Here is how you can use the Divi code module to add shortcodes in pages:

Simply open or create a new post or page and launch the Divi builder as we did in the first method. This time, instead of Text, you need to select the Code module, as shown in the above image.

Now, simply paste your shortcode in the given box, as shown in the above image. After pasting the code, you need to click on the green tick mark.

After completing all the steps, you can see your shortcode content live on the website.
