This shortcode allows you to easily display anywhere you want a list of (all) posts by author.
It can be used anywhere within WordPress where shortcodes are supported. For most users, this will primarily be within the content of a WordPress post or page or the sidebar.
Different layouts are available, so you can list posts as:
- Plain
- Flat
- Thumbs
- Cards
- Preview
None of the available layouts suit your needs? Check this article out on how to provide your own custom template to display the posts list.
That posts list can be customized making use of the optional attributes this shortcode can take.
