# Auto-insert into Header / Footer

## Auto-insert into Header / Footer

#### Introduction

By default, your shortcodes are only rendered on your site when placed, say `[sv slug="business-development"]`, in the desired location.

In some instances, you may wish for a shortcode's content to be rendered automatically into your websites header or footer, for example for custom CSS or GA code.

#### How to enable

When creating or editing a shortcode, you will notice a section under the editor called "Automatically inserting into the the selected locations below". It's really as simple as checking one or both of these check boxes and saving the shortcode.

#### Limiting to specific pages

By default, a shortcode set to auto-insert into the header and/or footer is added to **every** page on your site. If you only want it to appear on certain pages, use the "Only insert on these pages:" box directly below the Header/Footer checkboxes.

Enter one page slug per line (or comma-separated), for example:

```
contact-us
about-us
pricing
```

Leave the box blank to keep inserting on every page - this is the default behaviour and matches how auto-insertion worked before this option was added.
