I wrote J-Shortcodes plugin for my own needs first to add custom elements to my other website: wordpress membership plugin MemberWing-X.

I found that certain themes comes with their own set of limited shortcodes. The problem is that when you use theme-specific shortcodes and then later decide to change theme – this becomes major hassle – as you’d have to re-code all pages where you used these shortcodes. Much more logical approach would be to have shortcodes plugin that would include most functions you need. Then you may change theme any time and all your pages will still be in tact.

While adding more and more pieces to J shortcodes – I figured that many people would probably find this functionality useful as well. So I submitted it to WordPress repository and now everyone can have it and enjoy it!

Let me know if you want to add certain functions to it or find any glitches.
