Display Your Board on the Front End (Shortcode Method) #

You can display any Alba Board directly on a WordPress page or post using a shortcode.

Step-by-step Instructions: #

1. Find your board’s shortcode
   • Go to Alba Board → Boards in your WordPress admin panel.
   • Each board listed there includes its shortcode in the right column or below the title:

For example: [alba_board id="123"] where 123 is your board’s unique ID.

2. Create or edit a page

1. Go to Pages → Add New, or open an existing page where you want to show the board.
2. Give your page a clear title, such as “My Project Board” or “Team Planner”.
3. Insert the shortcode
   In the content editor (Block or Classic), paste the shortcode you copied earlier.
4. Publish or update the page
   • Click Publish (or Update if you’re editing an existing page).
   • Then click View Page to preview it on your site.
5. See your board live
   • Your Alba Board will now appear interactively on the front end, exactly as you see it in the dashboard.
   • Users will be able to view and interact with lists and cards depending on the visibility and permissions you’ve configured.
   • 💡 Tips
   • You can embed multiple boards on the same page — simply add several shortcodes, one per line.
   • If a board doesn’t appear, double-check the board visibility is not set to Private.
