<p>This plugin adds a graphical shortcode creator for the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/list-category-posts/" rel="ugc">List Category Posts</a> plugin by Fernando Briano. The creator is available in WordPress editor by clicking the ‘LCP’ button of the editor’s toolbar.</p>
<p>This means you can use the shortcode creator in:</p>
<ul>
<li>Post Editing Screen</li>
<li>Text Widgets</li>
<li>Gutenberg’s ‘Classic’ block</li>
<li>and wherever the WYSIWYG editor is used in plugins and themes</li>
</ul>
<p>Make sure you have read the <a href="https://github.com/picandocodigo/List-Category-Posts/wiki" rel="nofollow ugc">LCP plugin’s detailed documentation</a> as well as its readme to understand its features and potential. This is important because even though the GUI provided here tries to make things easily understandable on the front-end, it <em>does not</em> explain all features of the base plugin in detail.</p>
<h3>How to use the plugin</h3>
<p>Clicking the ‘LCP’ button opens a modal window with a form.</p>
<p>The shortcode creator has two sections, divided in two tabs:</p>
<ol>
<li>Selection options</li>
<li>Display options</li>
</ol>
<p>‘Selection options’ allow you to choose which posts to include while ‘Display options’ manage what information about selected posts is displayed and what <a href="https://github.com/picandocodigo/List-Category-Posts/wiki/HTML-&-CSS-Customization" rel="nofollow ugc">HTML & CSS customizations</a> are applied.</p>
<p>Once you are happy with your selected options, just click the ‘Insert into editor’ button located at the bottom of the modal window. It will automatically insert a properly formated List Category Posts shortcode into WordPress editor. You can change the position at which the shortcode is inserted by moving the cursor in the editor.</p>
