Many WordPress plug-ins make use of short codes to easily make a call to a plug-ins functionality.  This can make maintaining your WordPress based site very easy but what happens if you decide to shift from one plug-in to another and that specific short code is not used in the new plug-in?

Functions.php should generally be used when you just want to add a minor feature that requires a single function or few lines of code. However, you cannot use functions.php to run code in the actions such as “plugins_loaded”. This is by design and should be too, as each theme will have their own functions.php file and should only perform functions that relate to displaying the website.
