The7 takes advantage of shortcodes by embedding the popular Visual Composer plugin in the theme. Shortcodes work even if the user changes the theme, so it's usually a good idea to keep the shortcodes separate from the theme.

This means that if you switch themes, you can purchase Visual Composer separately to keep the content intact, providing an exit strategy from that theme for shortcodes and the content they serve. The developers say, "If you switch to the" raw "version of Composer, you lose a lot of your own shortcodes," but keep that in mind.

Subpoena area
Icon and text performance grid
counter

Adding these shortcodes is very easy. The VisualComposer plugin adds a button to the post editor, from which you can preview, configure, and insert into posts.
