Easy Curated Lists

Easy Curated Lists plugin lets you easily display a hand-selected list of posts, pages, products or any post type using a shortcode.

To create a curated list, simply grab the ID’s of the posts, pages or products and then use the shortcode [easycuratedlists] in the following format.

[easycuratedlists id='1,12,25']

You can also optionally specify h2 or h3 title for your list by adding it to the shortcode.

[easycuratedlists id='1,12,25' h2='My Curated List']
