# Display full posts?

 * Hello!
 * I’m creating an obituaries page on my news site, and for that one category, I’d
   like to be able to display a series of full posts – ideally, even the author 
   bio. The rest of the site wil feature excerpts on the category pages.
 * Can I use List Category Posts to do that?
 * Thanks!

 * You can use this plugin for what you need. Check the `content` parameter on [the documentation](http://wordpress.org/plugins/list-category-posts/other_notes/).
   Warning though, you might want to do this from a Page Template or a Custom Post
   Type template too.

 * Ok, it seems to be working great, except the name is normally inside an H2 tag,
   but is a simple hyperlink now. How can I restore the formatting for that?
 * Also, I’d like to be able to include the author box after each listing. Can that
   be done?
 * Thanks again!

 * Here’s the page created with your plugin, if you’re curious:

 * Any thoughts on this, especially restoring the H2 tag to the title?

 * In your shortcode add title_tag=”h2″
 * Hope that helps 🙂

 * It sure did – thanks!
 * Is there an easy way to make it list the posts without creating an unordered 
   list? (I can live with this one. LOL)

 * SteveO: check [the documentation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/list-category-posts/other_notes/)
   and search for the part where it says:
    ‘template – By default, posts will be
   listed in an unordered list (ul tag) with the class ‘lcp_catlist’
 * You can pass ‘ol’ or ‘div’ to the template paramter to yield different results.

 * Right now I’m using this:
 * `[catlist name=obituaries numberposts=50 pagination=yes content=yes title_tag
   =h3]`
 * What do I add to change ul to div?

 * I gotta admit, this particular thing is driving me completely nuts, and sorry
   but the documentation, (tho I’m sure very easy to follow for people well-versed
   in php) is completely unintelligible to me, even worse, when I DO it, nothing
   ever changes….
 * I’m simply trying to change the way the output looks, and it stands to reason
   that there must be SOMEWHERE that this output is currently being defined, which
   could be modified…otherwise the styling that applies to the page this plugin 
   is displaying on, would **display**, yes? So the plugin’s output is being defined
   somewhere, and I would really really really like to know where….I’ve chased all
   over the web at all these different spots for the documents that deal with this,
   and there’s nothing that either (a) works or (b) can be understood by me.
 * I recognize this could be my fault, but from what I can tell, it’s happening 
   to a LOT of people.

 * To SteveO, I see that your output is clearly doing something good, what did you
   end up doing, if you don’t mind sharing?
 * Thanx all for any and all help, I’m tearing out my hair and I have a shaved head!

   =h3]`
