This simple shortcode plugin allows you to list posts as a bulleted list linking to the full article. You can limit 
the list to posts from a specific category and you can select the number of posts to show. The <code>order</code> and 
 orderby options lets you sort the list too.
Usage is simple. Create a page or post and use the code <code>[showposts category="2" num="4"]</code> – this will show 
all 4 posts from category 2. Another example <code>[showposts category="1" num="-1" orderby="date" order="DESC"]</code> 
shows all the posts from category 1 ordered by the date (newest post first).
By default, only 5 posts are shown (unless you use the <code>num</code> option) and sorting in by date (oldest to newest).
<h3>Example</h3>
You can see two examples of the code working at the following links:
<ul>
<li>https://www.xtremeps3.com/ps5-firmware-history/</li>
<li>https://www.xtremeps3.com/firmware-history/</li>
<li>https://www.xtremeps3.com/faqs/</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
The shortcode is <code>[showposts]</code>
You can use the following parameters to customize what is displayed (all are optional):
