1. Upload the folder 'postlists' with all files to '/wp-content/plugins' on your webserver
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Go to "Manage" and then to the new submenu "PostLists" to manage your placeholders and lists

Add a list of posts to a post, page or widget: - Type one or more of your placeholders in the content of a post, page or textwidget (exactly the way you wrote it) - View the page/post/widget: the placeholder you typed in, will be replaced to the list you configured Add a list of posts to a template file: - Add the following code (replace MYPLACEHOLDER to the placeholder of the list to insert) at the position you like to have the list of posts:

        <?php 
          if( function_exists("pl_postlist") ) 
            pl_postlist("MYPLACEHOLDER"); 
        ?> 

Examples: After first activation of the plugin some examples have been created. To see PostLists working just create a new post and add one of the following example placeholders: %MYPOSTS% MYCATEGORYPOSTS MYMOSTCOMMENTEDPOSTS MYLATESTPOSTS24 MYLATESTMODIFIEDPOSTS MYFUTUREPOSTS MYLATESTPOST
Now save and view your post to see it working... This example placeholders can be removed in the postlists admin menu.
