  My apologies.

  It looks like we can’t generate a short code for WP.com blogs. You can generate short codes only for your self hosted blog.

  They have used their own shortcode which we can use to embed their slider in our WordPress blog.

  Can you have any idea how to create one ?

  Thanks.

  Yeah, they might have used code to generate the short code, which is not possible in WordPress.com blog.

  That is not possible on a WordPress.COM blog – period.
