Posts in Posts

Description

Posts in Posts will allow you to grab recent posts based on category, tag or just recent posts. Then it will display thoses posts in a list in the post or page you have called the Posts in Posts on. It’s as easy as all you need to do is write a HTML-esq bit of code.

[posts type=โ€categoryโ€ name=โ€Lipsumโ€ limit=โ€4″ date=โ€d-m-Yโ€]

This will then output 4 posts from the category โ€˜Lipsumโ€™.

Installation

Installation is as simple as adding the โ€˜posts-in-postsโ€™ folder to your wp-contents/plugins folder or downloading through WordPress itself. From there you’ll need to add the short code to where you want the post to be displayed; here are a list of the options.

  • โ€˜typeโ€™ : โ€˜categoryโ€™, โ€˜tagโ€™, โ€˜recentโ€™ or blank will use โ€˜recentโ€™

  • โ€˜nameโ€™ : the name of a given category or tag in your wordpress taxonmy or if left blank then it will resort to outputting nothing unless the type is โ€˜recentโ€™ or blank

  • โ€˜limitโ€™ : the number of posts you want to display in a given call or if left blank then it resolves to the default of โ€˜5โ€™

  • โ€˜dateโ€™ : use the standard date format for php or if left blank then it won’t display a date
