    Hi People,

    1. Plugin installed successfully.

    2. Am using Customizr Theme.

    3. Where does the plugin show up? Does it have a button somewhere? Does it have a settings page? Does it have a menu somewhere?

    4. Also, where are the ‘shortcodes’ that the plugin’s WordPress.org page describes, where are those?

    Thanks,
    B

  • Hi
    Here is the page that show the codes:

    https://github.com/billerickson/display-posts-shortcode/wiki

    So for example, just create a page and then use a code like this and see the result.

    [display-posts posts_per_page=”20″]

    I don’t think there is a button or anything, this plugin just allows you to enter the shortcodes so to speak and get the result without changing php. Look at the examples and they will give some idea.

    @kilop … ok, then I will test that shortcode you put up, then I know the plugin is functional. Tested, yes, that shortcode, [display-posts posts_per_page=”20″] displayed blog posts, so we have joy.

    Ok, so there is, …

    No Menu
    No Settings
    No Button
    No Setup

    What I learned is you just kerplunk this shortcode [display-posts posts_per_page=”20″] on a page to see if your blog posts show up, and they did, then you know the plugin is working.

    Where does this plugin go? Where does it live?

    Answer: It has two files, which you can access via the Editor. Go to Plugins > Display Posts Shortcode > Select > The file for this plugin will display.

    display-posts-shortcode/display-posts-shortcode.php
    display-posts-shortcode/readme.txt

    I guess when you don’t know jack, lol, you need a tutorial on how to work shortcodes! I will hunt for same!

    Also, in searching I found this link, also somewhat helpful … http://en.support.wordpress.com/display-posts-shortcode/

    Thanks much,
    B

    Here is the detailed instructions on using the plugin: https://github.com/billerickson/Display-Posts-Shortcode/wiki

    There is no menu or settings page because this plugin has no need for settings. It just works out of the box – no customizations are required by you.

    Please don’t use the Plugin Editor to make changes to the plugin. Your changes will be lost.
