    I would like to add custom shortcodes to pages and posts. Previously I've used third party plugins, but they seem to be crashing with the Genesis Framework. Anyone know of plugins that work? I have basic HTML/CSS skills.

    Thank you in advance!

    WordPress processes shortcodes, not Genesis. WordPress made a change that impacts how shortcodes can be executed. Here's some additional info: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/07/23/changes-to-the-shortcode-api/

    As Victor mentions recent changes have occurred; but not only that, the WP Core team has said that Shortcodes will be changing even more so probably best to stay really close / up-to-date with what Core will be doing with Shortcodes.

    So there is no shortcode plugin that works with WordPress and the Genesis Framework as of today?

    Plenty do; however, as victor said Shortcodes are handled by WordPress itself not necessarily the framework.

    And WordPress is right in the middle of changing how shortcodes function across the board; so anything you adopt right now may well change. You've asked right in the middle of a major sea change in the WordPress Shortcodes API

    So Victor and I are saying to carefully read up and follow on any perspective shortcode plugin; esp as the Core Team has warned they will be doing even more changes to the short code API; this last time caused considerable consternation.

    If you'd like to see where the team is indicating they are heading with shortcode api see:

    I use shortcodes to add on pages about X a push for Y. When I change Y to Z, all pages about X will get updated.
