  2. Create a shortcodes.ini file like this one
  3. Move the shortcodes.ini file inside the html folder of your frontend template: templates/your-template/html/
  4. Add your own shortcodes. You can use our sample shortcode.ini file as reference
  5. Use the shortcodes in your articles, modules and menus
