You may list them in single or double column mode. Add custom css styling to your text, images, whole container and title. You can specify categories and tags. All posts will be shown in ascending and descending order by date or post ID. You can specify how old (in days) the collected posts may be.

(Default: set to false) Custom Arguments Titles title – custom title (default: none) Example: title=”Joe’s Favorite Bicycles” title_color – Color of the title text. Example: title_color=”red” or title=”color:#ff0000″ both will give you a color of red. (Default black) title_length – Cuts off the title at X amount of characters so won’t make long wrap around which looks ugly. The length is in characters including spaces and symbols (Default 999) include_link_title – This will now make all titles clickable (default false). If you want the titles to also link to the post or page set this argument to true. Example: include_link_title=”true” exclude_link_title – This will exclude certain posts/pages from the title being clickable. For example if you don’t want the title to link to posts 8,45,47 you would use: exclude_link_title_posts=”8,45,47″ Custom Column Designs column – number of columns (default: 1) column_width – Width of column in pixels. Example column_width=”250″. (Default: 200) post_height – Sets the default height for all posts. Recommended for 2 column mode. For example if manual_excerpt_length=”400″ or excerpt_length=”400″ and you want posts with less of an excerpt to have same dimensions use this feature. post_height=”300″ will give a standard height of 300 pixels. So if post has less characters of text will still keep square shape so titles line up nicely. meta_info – Example: meta_info=”false” (Default ‘true’) meta_length – Example: meta_length=”75%” (Default 100%) menu_name – name of the menu (should be created in Appearance > Menu)(default: The one created in Appearance > Menu) menu_class – CSS class for the menu.

Separate multiple classes with commas. container_class – the CSS class that is applied to the menu container use_shortcode_in_excerpt – If set to true any shortcodes that appear in the excerpt will be processed. Default: false. Note: You must activate the ability to have your site be able to process shortcodes in excerpt field. show_categories – If set to true will also include a link to the category archive page. show_categories=”true” default is false. Using Custom Image Sizes: Under settings > Network Posts Ext menu you will see a box to add a custom image size. You may name it anything you like and use the default alias name or your own. Wants created you must include the following in your shortcode:thumbnail=”true” size=”Name of Alias”. For example if what is listed in the alias box is 600×400 then it would be size=”600×400″ so your thumbnails will have a size of 600px wide and 400px high. You may change the diplayed size of these images using custom css.For example you may create a class called img-size-300×200 and change the displayed image size thus: .img-size-300×200 { height:300px;width:200px; }. Then add this to the shortcode: image_class=”img-size-300×200″. align_image=”right”,align_image=”left. use_layout=”default”,use_layout=”inline” For a complete tutorial please visit: https://wp-plugins.johncardell.com/
