Step 1

First of all, create or navigate to the page or post that you would like to edit.

Step 2

Click on the shortcode dropdown, signified by a [] symbol.

Step 3

Click on the shortcode named “Promotion Box” to insert it into the page.

Step 4

The start of the code will read as follows: promotion_box link=”http://www.nexuswebsites.co.uk”. This is the link that the promotion box will take you to. Select the link (inbetween the quotes) and type in or paste the new link that the box will link to.

We will look at each important element to the promotion box in order. The highlighted text in the screenshots will refer to the bit that is being discussed in each step.

Step 5

The next part to look at is the following: button=”Click Here”. Change the text in-between the quotes to edit the button text.

This text will appear on the click-able button within the promotion box. “Click Here” will probably do in most cases, so you may not need to change it at all., We”ve change it to “View All” here.

Step 6

Now move onto the part that reads: title=”Title Text Here”. Select the text in-between the quotes and type in the title for your promotion box.

As always, ensure that all parameters are contained within “” quotes or the shortcode many not display correctly.

Step 7

Select the text inside of the promotion box tags and replace with the main text you would like. By default the text reads This is a promotion box. Use this to promote a product or service.

No quotes for this one, as it is not contained within the square bracket tags []. Be careful however to not delete the square brackets either side of this text.
