Here is an example:


[spp-reviews max=3 style=“list”]




Clutter-free Transcripts: [spp-transcript]



You can now add a transcript/show notes section that is collapsible, so your visitors can click to expand and read them when they like. The good thing is that they are still visible to the search engines.

Enter your full transcript in the post editor, then add the [spp-transcript] … [/spp-transcript] shortcode around the transcript text. This allows you to fully utilize all the editor functions like headlines, colors, etc inside your transcript.





Clickable Timestamps [spp-timestamp time="HH:MM"]



Clickable timestamps allow your listeners to click on a link that contains a time inside your show notes page and the podcast player will automatically jump to that time.

While editing your post, your can add the shortcode [spp-timestamp time="HH:MM"] or simply enter a time in either HH:MM:SS or MM:SS format and it will automatically become clickable.



If you don’t want your time stamps to be clickable, you can disable this feature in the "Advanced Tweaks" section of the Simple Podcast Press settings.

You can also manually make any timestamp clickable highlighting a time and click the “SPP: Insert Clickable Timestamps” from the toolbar.
