## Beschreibung

Create your own custom variables to manage information on your website such as:

 * Phone numbers
 * Adressen
 * Social media links
 * HTML snippets
 * And anything else
    test

Easily access them globally in WordPress and PHP.

#### Why you need it

Rather than having to change something like an email address across multiple pages,
you can do it in one place. Avoid the pitfalls of hard coding information in your
WordPress theme that is likely to change.

#### Why it’s better

 * Your variables are stored and retrieved locally without any calls to the database.
   That means faster load times for your pages!
 * Variables can be accessed easily in PHP from the global scope.

### Verwendung

Display your variables using the shortcode syntax:

    ```
    [cgv variable-name]
    ```

Or using the superglobal in PHP:

    ```
    <?php echo $GLOBALS['cgv']['variable-name'] ?>
    ```

### 󠀁[The best custom shortcode plugin for agencies!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-best-custom-shortcode-plugin-for-agencies/)󠁿

I’ve been using CGV for a few years now. At our agency, it’s become one of our go-
to plugins and is installed on virtually all of our sites. No other plugin allows
you to create and manage custom variables (shortcodes) as easily as Custom Global
Variables. The UI is straightforward and uncluttered. I’m grateful to the developers
for continuing to support and update this little gem. Hope it sticks around for 
many years and doesn’t change too much!

I needed a way of presenting some data in multiple locations, being a web developer
I knew I could use variables but didn’t want to edit the core app or theme, so this
fitted my requirements like a glove, only one bug, when you enter a variable name
but not a value and save, it says save successful, but it doesn’t actually save,
this need a check for data, its a minor thing, once I figured out why my newly entered
variables.
