There is a show_posts shortcode that is available to use only on sites.augsburg.edu pages<\/strong>. The shortcode does what it says, it shows your posts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can use it like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[show_posts heading=\"My Heading\" category=\"my-category\" amount=\"6\"]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The shortcode, as you can see, takes three attributes: ‘heading’, ‘category’ and ‘amount.’ The heading attribute can be simple text. The category attribute should match a “Slug” for a category that is already defined under Posts > Categories. If you go the Post > Categories page the Slug has its own column in the Categories table, so you can take the value directly from there. The amount attribute is a number and it will control how many posts are shown, if you leave the amount attribute out all posts of that category will be displayed. <\/strong>For example: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
[show_posts heading=\"My Heading\" category=\"my-category\"]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Output<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When the shortcode runs on a page, it will output the posts in a grid that will adapt to the width of you page and display as many posts as will fit into each row. It looks something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
