جاھبند
Under WordPress جاھبند menu you will find the GitHub Release Downloads options page. In this page you can set values for the GitHub username and the repository name to use by default in the shortcodes.
If both values are set, the shortcodes can be used without attributes (e.g.: [grd_count]
) since default values for user
and repo
will be used.
Attribute values take precedence over default values. For example, [grd_count repo="MyRepo"]
will use the username default value and the repository specified in the shortcode.
