Post Tiles:

How to use Post Tiles:

  • 1.) To add posts tiles to a page or post copy and paste the following shortcode. Example: [post-tiles]
  • 2.) By default 8 posts are displayed. To change the amount of posts to display, use the posts=' ' attribute in the shortcode. Example: [post-tiles posts='10']
  • 3.) By default all post categories are called for the tiles. To specify the categories use the categories=' ' attribute separating them by commas. Example: [post-tiles categories='1,2,4']
  • NOTE: The category id numbers are listed below, next to the category names. You can use both the categories and posts attributes Example: [post-tiles categories='1,2,4' posts='8']
