Engagement Tools

The [post_box] and [live_feed] shortcodes are powerful tools to enhance engagement and interactivity on your platform.

These two shortcodes, [post_box] and [live_feed], allow you to gather user input, display live feedback, or even embed polls within articles or across different sections of your website.

By using these shortcodes, you can:

  • Personalize the User Experience: Place input boxes and live feeds in strategic locations to create a tailored, interactive journey for your users.

  • Foster Engagement: Encourage user participation by collecting comments, questions, or poll responses directly on relevant pages or articles.

  • Enable Dynamic Interactions: Use live feeds to showcase real-time updates, making it easy for users to see new comments, feedback, or event discussions as they happen.

These shortcodes are ideal for embedding live Q&A sections, enabling community discussions, or placing polls in articles to keep users engaged without redirecting them to another page.

Whether you're running a live event, creating an interactive blog, or fostering community engagement, [post_box] and [live_feed] give you the flexibility to seamlessly integrate these features into your content.
