List Category Posts
List Category Posts is a WordPress plugin that allows you to list posts from a category into a post/page using the [catlist] shortcode. This shortcode accepts a category name or id, the order in which you want the posts to display, and the number of posts to display. You can use [catlist] as many times as needed with different arguments.
Usage:
[catlist argument1=value1 argument2=value2]
Please visit the plugin's page on WordPress.org to find out more.
Documentation
The main documentation is hosted in the GitHub Wiki. You can find information there on how to select which posts to show, pagination, HTML & CSS customization and the template system and the several parameters you can use.
Would you like to help with the development?
The evolution of this plugin wouldn't be possible without the help of these awesome contributors. Special thanks to Sophist, bibz, vacuus, klemens-st for their contributions and hard work and every other person who's contributed to this plugin:+1:
Sometimes Pull Request take a while for us to review, but we'll eventually get to all of them. If you open a PR, feel free to add your wordpress.org user so if it gets merged I can add you to the list of contributors in the plugin's readme file.
Development
A Vagrantfile is provided to set up a box for WordPress development. You need Vagrant installed on your computer.
Fork the repo, clone it locally and do vagrant up (on Windows you need to run this command in PowerShell as administrator).
You'll have a WordPress instance running on http://127.0.0.1:8080/.
WordPress is installed with this information:
- Database Name:
wordpress - User Name:
wordpressuser - Password:
wordpresspass
You can access the admin dashboard with the following credentials:
- Admin user:
adminuser - Admin password:
adminpass
Activate the plugin on http://localhost:8080/wp-admin/plugins.php
The plugin code is linked directly on the box, so any change you make on the code is reflected automatically on the Vagrant box's WordPress installation.
Testing
PHPUnit has been set up by bibz, you can run phpunit on the Virtual Machine:
vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-precise-32:/vagrant$ phpunit
Installing...

OK (1 test, 12 assertions)The code needs lots of refactoring and probably some more documentation to be able to write some more relevant tests. This is a task where you can really help the development of the plugin if you're interested in contributing.
Usage
[catlist argument1=value1 argument2=value2]
