Speaker Page Shortcodes

Introduction​

Shortcodes are a WordPress feature that allow you to add standard / pre-defined text to a speaker page (or any WordPress site). The Planning System (Speaker Management) has several built-in shortcodes.

October 2026 Important Update: Several shortcodes can now have their content changed via the Site Settings. (Dashboard → Site Settings).

  1. [speakers_contact] → [speakers_contact_set]
  2. [speakers_how_to_submit_quicktext] → [speakers_how_to_submit_quicktext_set]
  3. [speakers_platform_orientation_text] → [speakers_platform_orientation_text_set]
  4. [speakers_day_live_program_text] → [speakers_day_live_program_text_set]
