Aw, puppies!

I don’t quite get what is working and what is not. Did ‘currentcategory’ stop working for you when using the shortcode?

Category is “Wurf Lotte – März 2013” but even with a short one like “Welpen” or a combination of both the plugin always lists all posts.

What shortcode are you using here? Looks like it might be an issue with sub-categories. Welpen is a category, and Wurf Lotte – März 2013 is a subcategory of Welpen, right?

What do you mean with “when I name the category”? It looks like you’re using the “normal way” to list the posts in that page and it’s working.

PS: Done, thanks 🙂

Yep, after releasing the 0.30 version I realized it was wrong to use the HTML so I inverted the functionality so that you ask it specifically to use the HTML.

Glad it worked out in the end!

Sorry I changed the code once again. I kept the HTML tags stripped since that used to be the default behaviour:

excerpt – Display the post’s excerpt. Default is ‘no’, use excerpt=yes to activate it. If you don’t have an excerpt in your post, the plugin will fetch this text from the content, striping its images, shortcodes and HTML tags. The limit is set by the *excerpt_size* parameter (55 words by default). If you want the automatically generated excerpt to respect your theme’s allowed HTML tags, you should use excerpt_strip=no. If the post has an excerpt, the HTML tags are automatically stripped. If you want to overwrite the post’s excerpt with an automatically generated one (may be usefull to allow HTML tags), use excerpt_overwrite=yes. I added this last parameter to have consistency across excerpts.

This has been fixed on version 0.30 of the plugin. By default, tags are not stripped. If you want to strip them, you must use the excerpt_strip parameter:

[catlist name=blog excerpt=yes excerpt_strip=yes]

Check it out and let me know how it works 🙂

You don’t need to know PHP to do what you want to do. You just need to read the docs and search for the template parameter.

template – File name of template from templates directory without extension. Example: For ‘template.php’ value is only ‘template’. Default is ‘default’, which displays an unordered list (ul html tag) with a CSS class. This class can be passed as a parameter or by default it’s: ‘lcp_catlist’. You can also use the default ‘div’ value. This will output a div with the ‘lcp_catlist’ CSS class (or one you pass as parameter with the class argument). The inner items (posts) will be displayed between p tags.

So you should just pass this parameter:
template=div

hvianna’s code was added in version 0.29 🙂

Please update, check it out, and let me know how it goes!

hvianna this has been added to version 0.29, again thank you very much! I see you have a user with the same handle on GitHub, check the plugin’s repo over there and contribute as much code as you want 😀

GitHub’s Pull Requests are awesome, and you get more credit for the code you contribute 🙂

Thanks!

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar!

This comment made my day, thanks! 🙂
