# [Plugin: Business Directory Plugin] Shortcodes

 * I see that you have added in the notes for the new release that you can now nest
   shortcodes between content, which is awesome. But where do I find the shortcodes?
   I want to be able to display a certain category in between content on one page.
   Also, if I have set up custom fields, would I be able to use short codes to display
   these attributes? for example, I added a field called Amenities. Within the amenities
   I have “pet-friendly” as an option. I would like to be able to create a page 
   that shows all businesses that are pet friendly. Is there a way to filter that?
 * Thanks!

 * Shortcodes are in this FAQ post here:
 * [http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/support-forum/faq/valid-bd-shortcodes-2-1/](http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/support-forum/faq/valid-bd-shortcodes-2-1/)
 * They don’t support general search criteria, but if you had a “pet-friendly” category
   for something, that would be displayable using the category ID and the view listings
   code.

 * Gotcha. Would it be possible to use two categories in the shortcode? For example,
   let’s say I have a Pet Friendly page and on that page I want to display pet friendly
   vineyards, then below that pet-friendly accommodations, and below that pet-friendly
   attractions. Could I do [WPBUSDIRMANMVIEWLISTINGS category=1,35] and just make
   sure that I list the pet-friendly businesses as both the business type and the
   pet -friendly category when they get added?

 * Nope, just a single category right now.

 * What about listing categories only?
    Can I do this via shortcode or call php 
   code?

 * Hi Mariusz,
 * This short code has been added for awhile now: [WPBUSDIRMANMVIEWLISTINGS category
   =1]
 * That will show all listings in a single category. We don’t have a shortcode to
   show just the categories, if that’s what you’re asking instead.

 * Could you please let us know how to hardcode it?
    I just need to display all 
   main and child categories in 2 columns… Thanks! 🙂
