Shortcode reference
Every shortcode and attribute — the gallery, the category carousel and single-case embeds.
The plugin provides three shortcodes. The first is in the free plugin; the other two are Pro.
[medbeafgallery] — full gallery (Free)
Embeds the complete, filterable gallery.
| Attribute | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
items_per_page | 6 | Cases loaded per page. |
default_category | all | Category slug to show first. |
show_filters | true | Show the filter controls. |
show_cta | from settings | Show the consultation CTA button. |
cta_text | from settings | Override CTA label. |
cta_link | from settings | Override CTA URL. |
[medbeafgallery default_category="botox" items_per_page="9"][mba_category_carousel] — category carousel (Pro)
A sliding carousel of cases from a category, powered by Splide.
| Attribute | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
category | (all) | Category slug to display. |
items_per_view | 3 | Slides visible at once (1–5). |
autoplay | false | Auto-advance slides. |
autoplay_speed | 3000 | Delay between slides, ms (1000–15000). |
show_navigation | true | Show prev/next arrows. |
show_dots | true | Show pagination dots. |
loop | true | Infinite loop. |
gap | 20 | Space between slides, px. |
[mba_category_carousel category="facelift" items_per_view="4" autoplay="true" autoplay_speed="5000"]Clicking a carousel item opens the same case modal as the main gallery. There’s a generator under Before After Gallery → Settings → Carousel that builds the shortcode for you.
[mba_case] — single case (Pro)
Embeds one full case inline — viewer, pair navigation and (optionally) the treatment overview and description.
| Attribute | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
id | (required) | The case’s post ID. |
show_details | true | Show treatment overview + description. |
show_cta | true | Show the CTA button (if configured). |
[mba_case id="123" show_details="true"]A generator under Settings → Single Case lets you pick a published case and copy the shortcode.
Using shortcodes in builders
All three work in the Block editor (Shortcode block), Classic editor, and page builders such as Elementor, Divi and WPBakery via their shortcode widgets. You can place multiple carousels and single-case embeds on the same page.
