A simple plugin that adds a shortcode to display posts from a specified category.
The Category Posts Shortcode plugin allows you to easily display a list of posts within a specified category on your WordPress website. The plugin adds a new shortcode that can be used within your posts, pages, or widgets. The list of posts is styled to be visually appealing and responsive for various screen sizes.
To use the shortcode, simply add the following to your WordPress page or post editor, replacing “your-category-slug” with the desired category slug:
[category_posts category=”your-category-slug”]
For Multiple Categories:
[category_posts category=”uncategorized”]
[category_posts category=”blog”]
category-posts-shortcode
folder to the /wp-content/plugins/
directory of your WordPress installation.[category_posts category="your-category-slug"]
shortcode in your WordPress pages, posts, or widgets, replacing “your-category-slug” with the desired category slug.You can edit the category-posts-shortcode.css
file located in the css
folder of the plugin directory. Make sure to clear your cache after making any changes to see the updated styles.
Currently, the plugin only supports displaying posts from a single category per shortcode. To display posts from multiple categories, you can add multiple shortcodes with different category slugs.
