Ramblings of our Lives
The Display Posts Shortcode allows you to fine-tune the posts you wish to display on a page.
Add the shortcode in a post or page, and use the arguments to query based on tag, category, post type, and many other possibilities.
A common request is display a list of posts with title, excerpt, and the thumbnail aligned to the left. Here’s the shortcode you might use:
This includes the excerpt, adds an image of the “thumbnail” size (you can customize the image sizes in Settings > Media), and tells it to present the list without bullets.
In order to get the image floating to the left, add this to your custom CSS file (requires the Custom Design upgrade):
.display-posts-listing .listing-item {
clear: both;
}
.display-posts-listing img {
float: left;
margin: 0 10px 10px 0;
}
