[Resolved] Sections with blog post of a category

[domedele]

Hi,
I want to add a section (like three columns) with the last blog post filtered with a category)
Can I do it?

Hi there,

you would need to use a plugin.
Will the user be able to select which category to display?

[domedele]

No. Is a clouse of webmaster.
Thank you

You can use the WP Show Posts plugin:

https://wpshowposts.com

This will allow to create Post lists, and display them using shortcodes anywhere on the site.

how can insert the plugin in a section ?

[David]

You create your List in WP Show Posts – whilst editing the list you will find a shortcode in the righthand side metabox. Just add the shortcode to your section.

Hi there,

1. Do you mean you can’t see the WPSP list in the Visual editor? If so then that is not possible, as Shortcodes do not render in the WP editor.

2. Add this CSS to force columns to the same height:

.wp-show-posts-columns .wp-show-posts-inner {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
}

.wp-show-posts-inner .wpsp-read-more {
    margin-top: auto;
}

IT WORKS, GREAT!

You’re welcome
