OK, go to Dashboard>Plugins>Installed Plugins and click edit on Post Content Shortcodes.
Edit this file: post-content-shortcodes/class-post-content-shortcodes.php
Find this text:
$this->defaults = apply_filters( 'post-content-shortcodes-defaults', array(
'id' => 0,
'post_type' => 'post',
'order' => 'asc',
'orderby' => 'post_title',
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'offset' => null,
'category' => null,
'include' => null,
'exclude' => null,
'meta_key' => null,
'meta_value' => null,
'post_mime_type'=> null,
'post_parent' => null,
/* Non-standard arguments */
'exclude_current'=> true,
'blog_id' => $blog_id,
'show_image' => false,
'show_excerpt' => false,
'excerpt_length'=> 0,
'image_width' => 0,
'image_height' => 0,
'show_title' => false,
'show_author' => true,
'show_date' => true,
/* Added 0.3.3 */
'show_comments' => false,
'read_more' => false,
'shortcodes' => false,
) );
And change show_author and show_date to true (as in the code above). For some reason these options aren’t available from the shortcode.
Please don’t edit the actual plugin files. Those parameters are all passed through a filter, specifically so that you don’t have to edit the plugin file.
Instead, use the following:
add_filter( 'post-content-shortcodes-defaults', 'custom_pcs_show_date_and_author' );
function custom_pcs_show_date_and_author( $defaults=array() ) {
$defaults['show_date'] = true;
$defaults['show_author'] = true;
}
Secondly, if the show_date and show_author parameters aren’t working properly in the shortcode, that’s probably a bug that I’ll have to investigate. You should be able to just use:
[post-content show_date=1 show_author=1]
or
[post-list show_date=1 show_author=1]
Are you trying to use it in the post-content shortcode or the post-list shortcode? Are you using the latest version of the plugin? Thanks.
