Is this within the rules of wordpress?

Turn it into a function then call that function my desired page/s php file. Ok that makes sense now. * Also … * > Be sure the wp-config.php of your test install has WP_DEBUG defined as true. > I know you have your own theme, but to avoid possible conflicts, your test > installation should use the twentysixteen theme (or in general one theme earlier > than the latest default theme) and no plugins. Setup a child theme of twentysixteen * Ok I have done most of this . WP debug to see if it’s true however I have not. I have not used twenty 16 as a test. Will underscores be just as good to test? * Also I may have not explained. Somewhere in the middle of my theme creating I added Bootstrap . Personally that might of been a mistake as it just adds for things for me to know lol * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [adding Pagination to a shortcode](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-pagination-to-a-shortcode/) * Thread Starter [juicyjuke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/juicyjuke/) * (@juicyjuke) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-pagination-to-a-shortcode/#post-9080227) * makes all sense what you said. its just learning how to do it again. I started following a 24 part build your theme from scratch tutorial, and after the 7th lesson I got what I needed and went on from there. ive got work in between. what I need is a good book to knock it all into my head again. like even VB I forgot. at least I understand what things do. any suggestions on what to read in order to implement what you said? or maybe even send you a zip of all my code? id be willing to compensate for your time. email? I don’t have a whole bunch of code. very simple. well for someone like you at least. * its hard to explain how I know what I know already without understanding exactly how to do what you said. I find myself doing some things that require good experience yet not being able to do things that a beginner can do. make sense? - This reply was modified 9 years, 1 month ago by [juicyjuke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/juicyjuke/). - This reply was modified 9 years, 1 month ago by [juicyjuke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/juicyjuke/). * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [adding Pagination to a shortcode](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-pagination-to-a-shortcode/) * Thread Starter [juicyjuke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/juicyjuke/) * (@juicyjuke) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-pagination-to-a-shortcode/#post-9063701) * > In case you’ve not done so, unless you’ve built your own theme, you should > create a child theme to contain all of your custom work.

I have built it from scratch. well using tutorials etc. However Im afraid my main problem here is understanding programming again, and foremost. learning wordpress functions and what they do. I might need to pick up a good book. I used to code basic, VB, vb-scriot, html when I was 14-16 using anglefire. but..i haven’t done anything since. now its over 20 years later. lmao. - This reply was modified 9 years, 1 month ago by [juicyjuke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/juicyjuke/). * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [adding Pagination to a shortcode](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-pagination-to-a-shortcode/) * Thread Starter [juicyjuke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/juicyjuke/) * (@juicyjuke) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-pagination-to-a-shortcode/#post-9059419) * so basically I have to start from scratch. I need the latest posts from 4 categories to be displayed on my home page. * 10 per page, and then paginated. I want everyone to be able to find a post that’s interesting instead of manually going to each category one at time to find something interesting.
