    Hello I hope you are having a great day 🙂

    My question is, if I choose to only show a few excerpts from a category. Is there a way I can add a next button to show the remaining results.

    This is the code I am using: [Category number=’9′ method=’excerpt’ order=’desc’ id=’11’ orderby=’date’]

    Right now I am revealing 21 excerpts and I would like to break it down to groups of 9.
    But when I do this, it only shows 9 with no button to view the rest.

    Deyson,

    Any solution for this yet?

    I’m looking to do the same thing. When I list posts from a category using the short code, I’d like it to list like up to 5, then a new page with next 5, and so on for all the posts in the category.

    This is very similar to how the Category Archive page is set-up. Although I have found the php code that makes that page work, I cannot find an equivalent in the category_shortcode.php file. Basically, a variable and corresponding code need to be added to loop that says “max number of posts per page = x and once x is reached, create a new page, with a next or back button.

    If Robert Drake is out there, let us know at least where to look to add that functionality to the code.

    With how the plugin is currently coded, it’s not easily possible. The whole print out is a giant foreach loop ‘foreach($rdcsc_posts as $post)’. You could add a while loop to that to count up to the $rd_loop_postnum variable but thats a pretty bad hack.

    Really, if you want to have pageination you’re better off using a category template and a standard post loop. http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates
