How to use Feedzy with a shortcode

Feedzy can be used with a shortcode. The advantage of this approach is that it can be used with any WordPress theme or page builder. We recommend adding it in a shortcode block/widget if the theme/page builder you are using has such an option.

🧰 How to use it

1: To use Feedzy in a shortcode, you need to insert the shortcode block.

📝 Note: In this example, we have used the Gutenberg editor, but it's the same for other page builders.

2: Get the feed URL that you want to display and paste it into the shortcode form.
