Shortcodes
Last updated
CP Locations provides two shortcodes for embedding location content on your site.
Location Finder Shortcode
[cp-locations]Renders the full interactive location finder with map and list views. This shortcode takes no parameters — all configuration is handled through the plugin settings and location data.
Add this shortcode to any page to create your locations page. See the Location Finder guide for details on the user experience.
Location Data Shortcode
[cp-location-data location=ID field='field_name']Displays a specific piece of data for a single location. Use this to embed individual location details (address, phone, service times, etc.) anywhere on your site.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
location | No | Current location context | The post ID of the location |
field | No | (empty) | Which data field to display |
Available Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
title | The location name |
subtitle | The location subtitle |
address | The physical address |
phone | Phone number |
email | Email address |
pastor | Pastor/leader name |
service_times | Formatted service times (grouped by day) |
Any other value for field will attempt to retrieve that key from the location’s post meta.
Examples
Display a specific location’s address:
[cp-location-data location=23 field='address']Display service times:
[cp-location-data location=23 field='service_times']Display the pastor’s name:
[cp-location-data location=23 field='pastor']Finding a Location’s ID
To find the post ID for a location:
- Navigate to Locations in the admin
- Hover over a location name
- The ID appears in the URL shown in your browser’s status bar (e.g.,
post=23)
Alternatively, click Edit on the location — the ID is visible in the browser address bar.
Shortcode Reference in Settings
Navigate to Locations → Settings → Shortcodes tab for a built-in reference of available shortcodes and their usage.
