 * Hi,
 * Using plugin called FSPoster : [https://www.fs-poster.com/](https://www.fs-poster.com/)
 * It posts to multiple SM platforms where it uses various shortcodes in posts.
 * Is there a shortcode I can use from TA, please?
 * Many Thanks 🙂

 * Hi,
 * When inserting affiliate links into your content via Classic editor, you can 
   choose to insert them as a shortcode.
 * Please see our guide here:

 * Hi,
 * Not sure if that addresses my query in relation to the plugin I mentioned 😉

 * Hi,
 * Let’s say the social media message is “Check out this [thirstylink ids=”1123”]
   product[/thirstylink]
 * If for example, the plugin doesn’t run the shortcode before posting to Facebook,
   
   then the Facebook message will show an awkward shortcode in it instead of a link.

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for that,
 * What I’m looking for the plugin to perhaps create is a shortcode such as :
 * [thirstylink linkid=16774 linktext=”123Flowers”] so I can call it from another
   plugin.
 * At the moment, the plugin produces :
 * [https://www.SITE.com/recommends/123-flowers/](https://www.SITE.com/recommends/123-flowers/)
 * Can this be achieved, please?
 * Many Thanks

 * Hi,
 * I have created, in the “Custom Fields” a field called {ta-link}
 * Is there a way I can set the “value” field with a TA shortcode that will populate
   it with the affiliate link?
 * Hope that makes sense 🙂
 * Many Thanks
