## Description

**Post Content Shortcode** allows you to display the content of any post using a
shortcode like:

[post_content id=”123″]

This is useful for reusing content in multiple places, referencing another post 
inline, or including dynamically updated blocks of content.

You can configure which post statuses are allowed to be embedded from the plugin’s
settings page under **Settings  Post Content Shortcode**.

### Usage

Use the shortcode like this:

[post_content id=”123″]

Where `123` is the ID of the post you want to embed.

To avoid infinite loops, the plugin prevents a post from including itself.

Only posts with selected **statuses** (e.g. Published, Draft) will be rendered. 
You can control this from the plugin settings page.

### Customizing the Shortcode Tag

By default, the shortcode tag is `post_content`. You can change it by adding this
to your theme’s `functions.php` file:

add_filter( ‘herron_pcs_shortcode_tag’, function( $tag ) {
 return ‘my_custom_shortcode’;});

After doing so, use the new tag:

[my_custom_shortcode id=”123″]

The settings page and all logic will automatically respect this change.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Visit **Settings  Post Content Shortcode** to configure allowed post statuses.

## FAQ

### Why doesn’t the shortcode render anything?

Make sure the post you’re referencing exists and has an allowed post status (e.g.
Published). Check the plugin’s Settings page for configuration.

### How do I change the shortcode tag name?

Use the `herron_pcs_shortcode_tag` filter in your theme’s `functions.php`. See the“
Usage” section for an example.

### Does the plugin log errors?

Yes, but only when `WP_DEBUG_LOG` is enabled in your `wp-config.php` file. This 
ensures no logs are written unless your site is in debugging mode.

To enable logging, add the following lines to `wp-config.php`:

define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
 define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true );

Logs will be written to `wp-content/debug.log`.
