Shortcode Reference

2 min read

ClientPress includes one shortcode that you can place on any page or post to display a logged-in user’s accessible portals.


Shortcode #

[cp_portal_list]

Place this shortcode in any page, post, or widget area that supports shortcodes.


What It Displays #

When a logged-in user visits a page containing this shortcode, they see a list of all portals they have access to. Each portal name is a clickable link that takes them directly to that portal.


Attributes #

  • show_status (default: true) — Show a colored status badge (Active, Pending, Archived) next to each portal name
  • show_logo (default: false) — Show the portal’s logo thumbnail next to each portal name

Example with all attributes:

[cp_portal_list show_status="true" show_logo="true"]

Example with just the list (no status badge):

[cp_portal_list show_status="false"]

Status Badge Colors #

When show_status="true", each portal displays a small pill badge:

  • Active — Green
  • Pending — Amber
  • Archived — Gray

Behavior for Logged-Out Users #

If the visitor is not logged in, the shortcode outputs a simple login prompt instead of the portal list:

Please log in to view your portals.

The text links to the WordPress login page.


Behavior When No Portals Are Found #

If the logged-in user has no portals assigned to them, the shortcode outputs:

No portals found.

Common Use Cases #

  • Account or dashboard page — Drop the shortcode on a “My Account” page so clients can access their portals from your site
  • Navigation area — Some themes support shortcodes in widget areas near the header or sidebar
  • Post-login landing page — Combine with the login redirect setting to give clients a friendly portal picker page

Alternative: Direct Link #

If you just need a link to send clients to their portals without embedding a list, you can link directly to /client-portal/ instead. See How to Link Clients to Their Portal.
