The Category Posts Shortcode plugin allows you to easily display a list of posts within a specified category on your WordPress website. The plugin adds a new shortcode that can be used within your posts, pages, or widgets. The list of posts is styled to be visually appealing and responsive for various screen sizes.
To use the shortcode, simply add the following to your WordPress page or post editor, replacing “your-category-slug” with the desired category slug:
[category_posts category=”your-category-slug”]
For Multiple Categories:
[category_posts category=”uncategorized”] 
[category_posts category=”blog”]
