Usage
To use the shortcode, simply add the following code to any page or post:
[recent-posts]
This will display the 5 most recent posts with thumbnails and meta descriptions.
You can also customize the shortcode by adding attributes. Here are the available attributes:
- limit – The maximum number of posts to display (default is 5)
- image_size – The size of the thumbnail image (default is “thumbnail”)
- post_type – The post type to display (default is “post”)
- category – The category to display (default is empty)
- order – The sort order of the posts (default is “DESC”)
-
meta_limit – The maximum length of the meta description (default is 15)
For example, to display the 10 most recent pages in the “news” category with medium-sized thumbnails and longer meta descriptions, you would use the following shortcode:
[recent-posts limit=”10″ image_size=”medium” post_type=”page” category=”news” order=”ASC” meta_limit=”30″]
