Title: Using short-codes Last modified: March 9, 2020 --- # Using short-codes * Resolved [terry789](https://wordpress.org/support/users/terry789/) * (@terry789) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-short-codes-2/) * Hello, * I work with short codes because my theme (archive page) is not very suitable ( genesis child theme) * When I use the code *show_categories* I see my categories. When I now click on a category I come to the “automatic” page with products of that category. * However, I want to go to the pages with the short code *show_products category = “15”* etc. Is this possible (a redirect maybe)? * Thanks Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-short-codes-2/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-short-codes-2/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [ndre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ndre/) * (@ndre) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-short-codes-2/#post-12526624) * Hi [@terry789](https://wordpress.org/support/users/terry789/), * Why the “automatic” pages are not suitable in your case? * Using shortcodes like than will be a lot of work (depending on how many pages do you have). Maybe we can help you to use the automatic pages… * You can use any redirect plugin from WordPress repository to set redirects.

These settings are already correct (Modern Grid) but the products page is displayed in my theme as in the first example. * Only with the short code *show_products category = “15”* etc. is it properly displayed as in example two. * Plugin Author [ndre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ndre/) * (@ndre) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-short-codes-2/#post-12526715) * [@terry789](https://wordpress.org/support/users/terry789/), * Do you have the Premium Toolset extension installed?
