The plugin also provides a Scholarship Contributor role that only grants users the permission to submit a scholarship for review.

Shortcodes

Two shortcodes are provided by the plugin:

• [wsuwp_search_scholarships] - outputs a basic search form which sends submissions to the page containing the [wsuwp_scholarships] shortcode for results.
• [wsuwp_scholarships] - outputs a more robust interface for searching, browsing, sorting, and filtering scholarship results.

Plugin settings

It's important to visit the "Scholarships" > "Settings" dashboard page to configure the plugin settings. It's also easy, considering there are only two options to set up.

• Results Page - the most important option, this is for selecting which page on the site contains the [wsuwp_scholarships] shortcode. This is used for the href value of the "« Scholarship Search Results" link that displays when viewing an individual scholarship, and the action of the search form that the [wsuwp_search_scholarships] shortcode outputs.
• Active Menu Item - this option is for selecting which page to mark as the active menu item when the search results page or an individual scholarship is being viewed.

WordPress REST API support

The scholarship post type and all its associated meta is available via the WordPress REST API at the /wp-json/wp/v2/scholarship/ endpoint.
