Description
Smart Notice Board adds a Notices custom post type so you can create announcements like normal WordPress posts (title, content, excerpt, featured image). You then place a shortcode on any page to show a responsive grid: icons, excerpts, dates, pagination, or load more.
Here are the Demos:

What you get (free)
- Custom post type
rzcnb_notice_boardwith optional single template undertemplates/. - Hierarchical Notice categories taxonomy (
rzcnb_notice_category). - Shortcode builder under the notices admin menu: create multiple saved configurations (stored in the
rzcnb_custom_shortcodesoption). - Shortcode:
[rzcnb_notice_board id="X"]— X is the id of a saved configuration listed on All Shortcodes (you create configs with Create Shortcode; nothing is auto-created on install). - Grid layout: separate column counts for desktop, tablet, and mobile.
- Style presets plus detailed styling (colors, padding, border radius, typography for title/excerpt).
- Pagination or AJAX load more (mutually exclusive; configurable batch sizes per breakpoint).
- Optional sort order (orderby whitelist + ASC/DESC).

How to use (from scratch)
- Install and activate the plugin.
- Open Notice Board Create Shortcode (or Add New Shortcode), set up your board, and save. It will appear on All Shortcodes with a numeric id and the full shortcode ready to copy.
- Create notices with Notice Board Add New (or Notices in the menu). Use the Excerpt for the short text shown in the grid when excerpts are enabled.
- Assign Notice categories if you want to filter this board by category (use matching slugs in the shortcode configuration).
- Edit any page (or use a Shortcode block) and insert
[rzcnb_notice_board id="X"], replacing X with the id from All Shortcodes. - If pagination or load more misbehaves after changing permalinks, visit Settings Permalinks and click Save once to flush rewrite rules.
Installation
- Install the plugin (upload the folder to
/wp-content/plugins/or use Plugins Add New in the admin) and activate it. - On activation the plugin registers the Notices post type and Notice categories; it does not create a default shortcode. Add at least one board under Notice Board Create Shortcode, then use the id from All Shortcodes in
[rzcnb_notice_board id="X"]on any page. - Publish notices so your board has content to show.

What should I include so you can help quickly?

- Product type (WordPress Theme / WordPress Plugin / React / NextJS Theme) and the second dropdown when it appears — choose this plugin (Smart Notice Board)

- Board / shortcode ID from WordPress admin: Notice Board All Shortcodes — the shortcode looks like
[rzcnb_notice_board id="123"]; the number is the ID - A clear subject and description of the issue

Can I show only one category?

Set the category field when editing a shortcode configuration (comma-separated slugs if you need more than one).

Where are shortcodes stored?

Board configurations are saved in your WordPress database (option
rzcnb_custom_shortcodes). Manage them under Notice Board All Shortcodes and Create Shortcode — you do not need to edit the database directly.
