Enter and preview the rendered output of any registered shortcode directly from the admin — with a full directory of all active shortcodes.

== Description ==

AddonLogic Shortcode Tester lets developers and site administrators test any registered WordPress shortcode without having to create a post or page first. Enter a shortcode, click Render, and instantly see both the visual preview and the raw HTML source.

**Features:**

* Enter any shortcode with full attributes and enclosed content
* Visual preview panel shows rendered output with theme styles
* HTML source panel shows the raw output with one-click copy
* Searchable directory of all currently registered shortcodes
* Click any shortcode in the directory to fill the input field
* Browser autocomplete from the full shortcode list
* Exception-safe — catches PHP errors from misbehaved shortcodes
* Admin-only access with nonce protection

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `shortcode-tester` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
2. Activate via the Plugins screen.
3. Go to **Tools → Shortcode Tester**.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does testing a shortcode affect the front end or database? =
No. The shortcode is rendered server-side only and the output is displayed in the admin. No data is saved or published.

= Can I test shortcodes with content between tags? =
Yes. Enter the full shortcode string, e.g. `[caption id="123"]My caption text[/caption]`.

= Why does some output look unstyled? =
The preview loads WordPress admin styles. Theme-specific CSS won't be active. Use the HTML source view and test on the front end for fully styled output.

== Changelog ==

= 1.0.0 =
* Initial release.
