How to display last 5 posts on WordPress layout | WordPress.org

Hello,

I’m trying to display the posts from a category on the same layout that the loop of WordPress does.

For example: http://kriston.nl/ibf2016/category/berenpraatjes/

But this displays all the posts in category “berenpraatjes”. I want to display this category, but then the 5 most actual ones with your plugin, but can’t find the correct shortcode to use.

Could you provide a working shortcode that displays the 5 last posts of a category but in the layout of the example.

thank you in advance!

Unfortunately this plugin cannot style posts to match your theme, you’ll need to do that with CSS in your own theme. You might also need to use the output filter to customize what the shortcode outputs.

ok, thanks for the reply. I’ll adjust some CSS to display it better.
