Shortcode

Use shortcode "postlist" to show your list inside post/page content area. Example: [postlist 1] will show the list having id "1".

Understanding Post List Options

  • List ID: Current list id. This id is necessary for showing list with shortcode. You can show a post list on your post or page by list id. Example: [postlist 1] will show the list having id 1.
  • List name: This is not very essential now. Just for finding a list with this name on post list page menu.
  • List type: List type chooser. Only post list, only category list and both them together are available. Note: Selecting and saving this option will hide or reveal related option fields. So we recommend you do make a save after choosing your list type.
  • Show posts in category with a jQuery slide effect: This is only for "Posts with categories" list type. Positive selection will create a show/hide effect with jQuery to your list.
  • Post order by: In Which base the post will be orderby. Available options are newest, oldest, most popular, less popular, by alphabetic order (A-Z/Z-A) and random.
  • Show future Posts: Automatically add future posts to the category post/only posts/only posts by category list or remove.
  • Show item count appending to category name: Show the published posts number for the category.
  • Read-more Text: The single page link text ( not title).
