Must Read!

This plugin allows you to mark any of your articles as a “Must Read” to display them anywhere in a pretty convenient way.

There are three possible ways to display the list.

Widget

Just go to the Widgets screen and find the “Must Read!” widget. You can place it in any sidebar and adjust the settings.

Shortcode

[mustread number=5 image=above_title date=1 author=1 excerpt=1]

All supported params and their values are available in the FAQ section.

PHP function

mustread( array(
    'posts_number'    => 5,     // integer
    'display_image'   => false, // false|above_title|below_title
    'display_date'    => false, // true|false
    'display_author'  => false, // true|false
    'display_excerpt' => false, // true|false
), true );

The last parameter controls the output of the function. If you provide a false there, the function will return list HTML.

Go to your WordPress wp-admin. Plugins -> Add New. Search for “Must Read!” and install it.

Installation Instructions

Go to your WordPress wp-admin. Plugins -> Add New. Search for “Must Read!” and install it.

Is there a post number limit on the list?

By default, it’s 5, but you can control this in the widget settings or shortcode/function parameters.

What are the shortcode parameters?

Supported shortcode params are:

• number – integer – number of posts to display

• date – 1|0 – if display the post date
