What is a Shortcode?
A shortcode is a WordPress-specific code that lets you do things with very little effort. Shortcodes can embed files or create objects that would normally require lots of complicated, messy code in just one line.
An example of a shortcode is: [kvcoreidx_listings]
Each shortcode renders different information. See a full list of available shortcodes below.
Using the 'Get Shortcode' Button on the Properties Page
To easily get a new short code for the specific Properties Search that you want, users can follow these steps:
Login to your Wordpress Admin account
Visit your website and go to the kvCORE Properties Page that you have your [kvcoreidx_search] and [kvcoreidx_listings] short code on
Search for the area and/or filters that you want to apply to your search
Select “Get Shortcode” at the top of the page and use that short code on any custom page in your Wordpress “Pages” section

How to Find Your Agent ID
To locate your Agent ID, navigate to your profile at the top right, and check the number that appears at the end of your profile URL in the address bar of your browser. The number in bold shown in the example below is what you will use to create your shortcodes:
Your Agent ID is your unique identifier as an Agent in kvCORE. It is not associated with your MLS ID, which allows the system to connect your listings to you as the listing agent.
