Shortcodes Reference

Insert these into a WordPress Shortcode block. Replace example IDs and category slugs with your own values.

Auction lists

[auctions limit="12" columns="3" paginate="true"]
[featured_auctions limit="6" columns="3"]
[recent_auctions limit="6" columns="3"]
[ending_soon_auctions limit="6" columns="3"]
[future_auctions limit="6" columns="3"]
[finished_auctions limit="6" columns="3"]

past_auctions is also registered as an alias for finished auctions.

Common auction-list attributes include:

Attribute	Use
limit	Maximum results; use a bounded value for busy catalogs.
columns	Grid column count.
ids / skus	Comma-separated product identifiers.
category	Comma-separated product category slugs or IDs.
cat_operator	IN, NOT IN, or AND.
tag	Comma-separated tag slugs.
orderby / order	Sort field and ASC or DESC.
paginate	true to paginate the list.
rows	Sets a row-based result count and takes precedence over limit.

[auctions category="antiques" limit="9" columns="3" orderby="date" order="DESC"]

Wrapper shortcodes such as featured or ending-soon lists apply their own query behavior. Do not assume every list uses the same default ordering.

Customer lists

[auctions_watchlist]
[my_auctions_activity]
[all_user_auctions]
[auctions_for_woocommerce_my_auctions]
[auctions_recent_bids]

Place customer-specific lists on pages that bypass shared full-page caching. Test them as the intended customer, not only as an administrator.

The active and won sections of auctions_for_woocommerce_my_auctions show separate empty-state notices when the customer has no matching auctions. An active-auctions list contains auctions the customer has bid on while they remain active; it is not a list of every active auction in the store.

Items within a lot

[auction_lot_grid lot_id="123" columns="3" limit="12"]
[auction_lot_grid lot_id="123" session="1" columns="3"]

lot_id must identify an Auction Lot product. session is one-based: 1 selects the first session. An omitted session includes the lot’s items across sessions. The default lot-grid limit is -1; a positive limit truncates the result.

Template fragments

auctions_templates renders selected auction fragments in a suitable current-product context. Supported values include bid, bid-form, pay, condition, countdown, dates, max-bid, reserve, and auction-sealed.

[auctions_templates template="countdown"]

It is not a product-ID lookup shortcode. Use a valid auction product context when integrating fragments into a product layout.
