Hey Jo,
Thanks for the help. I was having the same problem as Ken with the Titles of posts showing up as well as the full content of every post, instead of selected ones.

It took some tinkering and figured It out. If you just want to display the entire content of selected posts from a given category, then this is what you should post into the page:

[catlist id=27 catlist content=yes numberposts=2]

Substituting your id and the # of posts you want to show.

Cheers,
JJW

Yes. That’s exactly what it does.

Hey Jo,

Will this plugin allow me to post several different posts on pages other than my home page?

I have just uploaded a Help Sheet for this plugin – http://www.creative-web-ideas.com/index.php/wordpress-guides/wordpress-help-sheets/?did=11

Hi Ken,
Try using excerpt=yes instead and adding an excerpt to each of your posts. If you go to the plugin author’s page, there are some styles you can add to your style sheet too.

Hi there,

I am trying to get a list of category posts to list on one of my pages using the same formatting as the normal WP posts page.

The problem I’m having is that when I add content=yes to the shortcode, all the formatting is removed from the post and it seems to ignore the tag.

Any idea how to solve this?

Thanks a million!

This plugin now has a widget so you can show posts from a certain category in your sidebars (with Excerpts).

Hi Pearl,
The sample code you have pasted above doesn’t show a category id or how many posts to show. Is this exactly what you pasted onto the page?
Also, you don’t need a special template for this plugin, you just add the code to any page.

Thanks for sharing the plug-in. It’s what I’ve been looking for to add to my blog. However, I was wondering if you could help me with the installation. I followed all the steps suggested on your blog (and on the plug-in site), not sure if I did it correctly but this is what I did.

I created a new page template specifically for this (say template A). Then, I put [catlist id= orderby=date order=asc numberposts=-1] into the page (under the edit page on WP dashboard) and chose the attribute for that page to be as template A).

The result is that I was able to have a page that lists all the posts (links) in there. However, instead of showing only posts from the specific category ID that I put in the number, it shows all the posts I have on the blog. I’m not sure what happened here. I’m pretty new with the WP and have only basic knowledge on css, php. I’m not even sure if the way I stalled the plug-in is corrected. Would you be able to help me out? Thank you!
