Description
Easily display posts, pages, or custom post types in content areas using a customizable shortcode. Display your latest posts, group by taxonomies, or use custom templates with Timber for Twig support.
Shortcode Options and Examples
Display a specific post type:
[ac_custom_loop type=”foo”]
This displays posts from the foo custom post type.
Display posts with specific tags:
[ac_custom_loop type=”post” tax=”tag” term=”foo”]
This displays posts tagged with foo.
Group posts by taxonomy (e.g., categories and tags):
[ac_custom_loop type=”post” subtax=”category,tag”]
Groups posts by categories, then by tags within each category.
Exclude posts by specific tags:
[ac_custom_loop type=”post” tax=”tag” term=”foo,bar” exclude=”baz”]
This displays posts tagged with foo and bar, but excludes those tagged with baz.
Use a custom template for loop display:
To use a custom template, copy loop-template.php from the plugin folder to the root of your theme folder and modify as desired. You can also create templates for specific post types (e.g., loop-template-post.php).
