Times when the template customising isn’t quite flexible enough. With this plugin you can use [url_base] to output the base URL of the blog (as set in your Settings). Or, you can use [url_template] to output the URL of the active template. For example `` (if http://localhost/wordpress is what you have configured as your blog URL in Settings). The supported short codes are as follows: * [url_base] – the configured blog URL( set in Settings). E.g. http://localhost/wordpress * [url_template] – the URL of the active template. E.g. http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/mytheme1 ### License This plugin uses the GPLv3 license. ## Screenshots * [[ * Sample short code use. * [[ * Rendered output. ## Installation There are 2 ways of installation.
