</ul>
Example:

In PHP templates: 
 <code>php 
echo do_shortcode('[blast_slider numberOfPosts="4" showTitle="false"]');</code>
Notes: 
– 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. 
– When no posts are found, a fallback message is shown. 
– If no featured image is set, a default placeholder image is displayed.
