How to select specific posts for WP Show Posts

Hi there,

You can select specific categories to display by adding attributes to your shortcode.

Example: [wp_show_posts id="76440" settings="taxonomy=category&tax_term=category_1"]

or try this for multiple categories. [wp_show_posts id="76440" settings="taxonomy=category&tax_term=category_1,category_2"]

Make sure to change 76440 to your WPSP list.

Alternatively, if the shortcode doesn’t work for you, we can change the query.

Example: multiple categories + tag

add_filter('wpsp_query_args',function( $args, $settings ){
	if ( 76440 === (int) $settings['list_id'] ) {
		$args['tax_query'] = array(
			'relation' => 'OR',
			array(
				'taxonomy' => 'category',
				'field'    => 'slug',
				'terms'    => array( 'campaigns','project-updates' ),
			),
			array(
				'taxonomy' => 'post_tag',
				'field'    => 'slug',
				'terms'    => array( 'sample-tag-1' ),
			),
    	);
        var_dump($args);
    }
	return $args;
},10,2);

Note: You can also do this without code within WPSP Pro UI but it’s against WordPress policy to support Premium/pro versions of the plugin here. You should post on our support forum for WPSP Pro questions here: https://wpshowposts.com/support/area/pro-support/

Nice one. Glad you got it sorted.
