How to create a shortcode to display the WordPress site url
Shortcodes are a very useful tool when using WordPress. There are often things you may do a lot and using a shortcode helps make it so you can use one instead of retyping a lot of content. Also, if you are a web developer, you may be creating WordPress themes/sites on a development server that will later be transferred to a client’s server. When doing this, the url during development may not be the same as will be after it is transferred over to the client’s live site and server. This can cause extra work after making the transfer editing links and other text that may have displayed the url. You can use a shortcode to find the current site url and display it based on the url the WordPress theme is currently installed on, so no matter where the theme is used, it will display the correct url, which means you won’t have to change it if you move the theme to a new url. Just add this WordPress Code Snippet to the functions.php file in your current WordPress theme in order to create a shortcode to display the WordPress site’s current url.

How to confirm your blog configuration with Livefyre after install
I just added the Livefyre WordPress Comments Plugin to WPSnacks.com to handle the comment discussion.
