<p>This plugin provides a very flexible way to show posts anywhere on a site using a shortcode. It works with any theme. Weaver Show Posts is by far the most flexible with an easy to use interface to select which posts to show.</p>
<p>Note: this plugin was formerly named ATW Show Posts. There is no difference in functionality between the versions.</p>
<h4>Easy to select which posts to show</h4>
<p>There are several WordPress plugins that allow you to display selected posts via shortcode on your pages, other posts, or in widgets.</p>
<p>This plugin provides a powerful interactive admin page that allows you to specify exactly which posts you want displayed. The specifications are called a “filter”, and you can define as many filters as you need to display different posts via the shortcode. Includes support for custom post types and taxonomies.</p>
<h4>Style of Displayed Posts</h4>
<p>Weaver Show Posts will normally display posts using its own basic display functions. These can be easily styled to match the rest<br />
of your site by defining Custom CSS rules in the Custom CSS option.</p>
<p>But Weaver Show Posts can go way beyond that. For many Themes, you can elect to use the native Theme Post formatting function.<br />
The posts displayed by Show Posts will match other posts displayed by your theme. If you are using the Weaver Xtreme or Weaver II<br />
themes, there is even more integrated display of posts.</p>
<h4>Show Posts in a Text Widget</h4>
<p>You can add [show_posts] to the standard Text Widget. If your theme or other plugin doesn’t add this capability, Weaver Show Posts<br />
includes an option to allow the Text Widget to support shortcodes.</p>
<h4>The Shortcode</h4>
<p>The form of the shortcode is:</p>
<p>[show_posts filter=filter-name]</p>
