  • I've been using Display Posts Shortcode.

    Probably a little more difficult to use, and you have to create your own stylesheet stuff to get it to display how you want it.

    • that looks a bit too difficult, any that displays category/tagged posts on a page only?
    • actually this is good, bur what shortcode do you enter in the posts for it to work?
  • I'm looking for a solution to this problem as well. You'd think all these years wordpress would have a built in solution but I've come across 2 plugins that look decent. Might buy one later today:

    Content Views Pro - Display WordPress posts in amazing layout
    WordPress - Wordpress Posts Listing Plugin | CodeCanyon

    If you buy one please let me know and I'll purchase the other so we can see which one is better

    Cheers

  • very difficult! me too.
  • Why don't you just do this manually? You just want the post title on one of your pages correct?

    • yes i wan't all posts under one category to have their headings posted to a page, which gives clickable links to the posts
  • I'd not used that plugin, but it's the sort of feature I look for to add to the theme I develop so gave it a test.

    That's pretty much as easy as it's going to get if you want the post links added automatically.

    All you do is activate the plugin and add this in the post you want the links to load:

    To pull posts from a category

    Code:
    [add_posts category=category-slug show=5]
    To pull posts from a tag

    Code:
    [add_posts tag=tag-slug show=5]
    All you have to do is find the category or tag slug and those are part of the URL of the categories and tags. If you have a category called My Stuff the category slug will probably be "my-stuff" and your code would be.

    Code:
    [add_posts category=my-stuff show=5]
    The show number is how many posts to show.

    There are other features like thumbnails, but the above is th basic usage.

    Only way to make it easier would be the shortcode is a button on the posted Edit page.

    I have a similar feature to this as part of the theme I develop, but with a lot more features, it also uses shortcodes and widget areas (can add a widget area anywhere on a page).

  • Did I misread what you want? Do you want the post titles to link to the posts?

    If so that's what that plugin does, if not (so just want the title of the post as text, not a link) it doesn't do that.
