How to add a shortcode in Divi

Create or edit a WordPress page.
Example page names: Employee Time Clock, Staff Attendance, Manager Dashboard, or HR Attendance Dashboard.
Open the page with Divi Builder.
Add a regular section, one row, and one full-width Code module or Text module.
Paste the shortcode.
Use the Free shortcode on Free sites or the Pro shortcode on Pro sites.
Restrict the page.
Only logged-in employees should access clock pages. Only managers, HR admins, or administrators should access manager pages.
Publish and test.
Open the page in an employee account and confirm the dashboard loads.

Suggested page structure

Free site

Page title: Employee Attendance
Slug: /employee-attendance/

Do not place employee and manager shortcodes on a public page. Attendance pages should be private, password-protected, membership-protected, or otherwise restricted to logged-in users.
