Custom Posts

Hi There

I have already written on this topic but just been playing around with the shortcodes listed here

Recent Posts

However I can only get these shortcodes to show a small number of posts instead of all posts in that particular category.

What I wanted to do is to show all posts from a particular category. Just the heading and date and say 3 to a line.

Is this possible with Pro and if not can you suggest a plugin that works with pro that will achieve this.

My ultimate would be to show all posts of a particular category on a pro page (so I can design top and bottom) in a grid with pagination and then on the right hand sidebar to show archives of same category posts.

Thank you.

Kind regards

Hello Eileen,

Thanks for writing in!

To show all posts in a particular category, you will need to use the category page archive. It does not make sense if you insert a shortcode on a normal page that displays ALL the post items related to a particular category because displaying all items of a particular category would mean a category archive.

When using the recent posts element or the recent posts shortcode, it will only display up to 4 items. If you want to display more, you will need to use the offset option in the shortcode. For example, if you want to display 12 post items of a particular category, you will need to have 3 shortcodes like this:

[recent_posts count="4" category="name"]
[recent_posts count="4" category="name" offset="4"]
[recent_posts count="4" category="name" offset="4"]

My ultimate would be to show all posts of a particular category on a pro page (so I can design top and bottom) in a grid with pagination and then on the right hand sidebar to show archives of same category posts.
