Show your policies on WordPress
Use shortcodes to show your Savira policies on any page, look after your Consent Preferences page and keep everything up to date. No coding needed.
Section 1
Show your policies with shortcodes
When you publish a policy in Savira, the plugin gives you a shortcode for it. Add the shortcode to any WordPress page and that page always shows your latest published version, in your theme's own fonts and styles.
[savira_privacy_policy]Your privacy policy[savira_cookie_policy]Your cookie policy[savira_custom_policy_name]A custom policy. The name is the policy title in lower case, with underscores for spaces, so Terms and Conditions becomes[savira_custom_terms_and_conditions].[savira_preferences]The consent preferences form, if you want it on another page as well as Consent Preferences.
A shortcode shows content once its policy is published in Savira.
Add a shortcode to a page
- Block editor: add a Shortcode block, paste the shortcode, then click Publish or Update.
- Classic editor: paste the shortcode on its own line in the page content.
- Page builders such as Elementor or Divi: use the builder's Shortcode widget or module.
Tip
Make every policy change in Savira, not on the WordPress page. The page picks up each new version on its own.
Section 2
Keep your policy pages up to date
Publish a new version in Savira and your website shows it within the hour.
Show a change straight away
- In WordPress, go to Settings > Savira.
- Open the General tab and click Flush Shortcode Cache.
- If you use a caching plugin, or your host caches pages, clear that cache too.
- Refresh your policy page to check the new version.
Still showing the old version? Check you clicked Save & Publish in Savira, then see policy page fixes.
Section 3
Your Consent Preferences page
When you install the plugin, it creates a Consent Preferences page at yourdomain.com.au/consent-preferences, or a similar address if that one is taken. The page shows the consent preferences form, where visitors can change their cookie choices at any time.
Changing the page
You can edit it like any other page. Rename it, change its look, move it or duplicate it.
Keep [savira_preferences] on the page. If you remove it, the page stays but the preferences form disappears.
Want the form somewhere else as well? Add [savira_preferences] to any page.
Section 5
If you remove the plugin
When you delete the plugin, WordPress also deletes the Consent Preferences page the plugin created.
- Your cookie banner stops showing on your site.
- Pages you made yourself stay, but any Savira shortcode on them shows as plain text. Remove the shortcodes, or the pages.
- Remove the footer links to those pages so visitors do not land on a missing page.
