This plugin creates the [Category]] Shortcode. The code takes 5 arguments:
number: the number of posts to display. 0 equals the default number. -1 equals the total available.
Order: Ascending or Descending
Display Method: Full, Excerpt, Title
Order By: Author, Date, Title, Modified, Parent, ID, Rand, None, or Comment Count.
Category: this is the category id the category or categories that should be searched. Multiple categories can be specified in a comma separated list.
Example shortcode:
[Category number=’5′ method=’title’ order=’asc’ id=’11,45′ orderby=’comment_count’]
This will show 5 posts in ascending order of category 11 and 45 as arranged by comment_count and will display just the post titles.

So, you are tired of retyping data within your post. You want a quicker way to import data based on your post or page settings into, for example, a review table? 
You just need one specific category to show up within your blog post? And maybe you´d want a hyperlink added too?
Search no further! We created this beatifull plugin to make this happen.
By using a very simple Shortcode you will be able to show all Categories related to a Blog Post or Page. 
Even better; you will be able to filter within specific Parent Categories. And ofcourse there are times you want to show or hide the Parent Category ,and that is no problem too! 
Oh, and before we forget you can choose wether to show this as Hyperlink or not. Just so that your visitor has a simplified UX.
But it does not end there; we are constantly working on new features. This plugin isn´t limited to just showing categories; 
You can print the author details, the page/post title, it´s unique ID, etc..
I hope you will enjoy this plugin, if you do come over and say thanks at <a href="https://willemso.com/category/show-post-categories/" rel="nofollow ugc">willemso.com</a>, suggestions for improvement and features are welcome!
