echo do_shortcode('[blast_slider numberOfPosts="4" showTitle="false"]');</code></p>
<p><strong>Notes:</strong><br />
– If the number of posts is not divisible by <code>slidesPerGroup</code> and <code>loop</code> is enabled, the slider will be filled with empty slides to maintain smooth looping.<br />
