 * Hi This is more of a question than a problem. I have been using this plugin for
   custom fields and want to extend it’s use to sitewide options.
 * I’m interested in knowing if there’s some existing way of using options field
   data and inserting as shortcodes?
 * Thanks

 * This should help get you started, regarding any sort of options page you want
   to use with it: [https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2/wiki/Using-CMB-to-create-an-Admin-Theme-Options-Page](https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2/wiki/Using-CMB-to-create-an-Admin-Theme-Options-Page)
 * Afterwards, the shortcode is easy enough to make with a query for the options
   you want etc. That part is mostly going to depend on you and what you want to
   display and how.
