## Description

A Plugin tool to aid theme development with the innovative, flexible, and incredibly
powerful [Beans](https://www.getbeans.io/) Framework.

The Beans Simple Shortcodes plugin provides a library of Shortcodes to allow site
owners to easily display information about their website, author and more.

Shortcodes include:

[beans_date_posted]
 [beans_date_updated] [beans_time_posted] [beans_time_updated][
beans_post_author] [beans_post_author_link] [beans_post_comments] [beans_post_tags][
beans_post_categories] [beans_post_terms] [beans_post_edit] [beans_copyright] [beans_childtheme_link][
beans_theme_link] [beans_wordpress_link] [beans_site_title] [beans_home_link] [beans_loginout]

All Shortcodes:

 * Output HTML content using the Beans HTML API and include Beans Dynamic Hooks
 * Include default attribute filters
 * Include output filters
 * Can be individually enabled or disabled to maintain leanness

This plugin is under active development and will be updated to include Gutenblocks
format soon. Please feel free to contribute at the [Beans Simple Shortcode Github page](https://github.com/JeffCleverley/BeansSimpleShortcodes).

The Beans logo and Beans name are being used with kind permission from the amazing
people behind the Beans Framework.

## FAQ

  Installation Instructions

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/plugin-name` directory, or 
    install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress

  I installed the plugin, now what?

Visit the Beans Simple Shortcodes settings page and inspect the available attributes
and instructions.

  Does this plugin require the Beans Framework to work

Yes

If a Beans Framework Child theme is not the active theme, the plugin will not activate.

Even if it did activate it would be useless.

  What happens if I deactivate the Beans Framework

If you swap themes to a non-Beans framework theme while the plugin is active then
it will just harmlessly disable itself.
