#1: The Shortcode and Basic usage:
The basic shortcode and minimal usage is: (Without the space after [)
[ wp_cpl_sc cat_id=40 list_num=4 css_theme=2 sticky_post="79"]
You just have to change the cat_id, list_num and css_theme parameters and a list of posts will be shown accordingly.
However, there are other parameters using which you can further customize the shortcode. Here is the complete list:
#2: Shortcode parameters:

|

| show_comments | Whether or not to display comment counts in post meta box | “true” | String “true” or “false” |

This plugin comes with a settings page where you can set the thumbnail and enable/disable pre-installed CSS themes. Below is a preview of the page (Settings > Category Posts (WP-CPL))

- Thumbnail dimension: Set the widget and shortcode thumnail dimension. After you update, make sure to run Regenerate Thumbnail plugin to update the thumbs.
- CSS Theme: Select the theme which are to be loaded in the frontend and to be displayed under the Widget option. Make sure, you select one of the active themes while doing it with shortcode.

New in V2 is the filter API using which you can add your own CSS Themes. You need to add a filter to wp_cpl_css_filter and pass in the id, name and css_url of your theme. Rest will be taken care of, i.e, the plugin will automatically display the CSS Theme under the widget and settings page and also will enqueue it to the frontend. Here is how you do it.
#1: Writing your own plugin with the filter:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Filter API TEST
Plugin URI: https://www.intechgrity.com/wp-plugins/wp-category-post-list-wordpress-plugin/
Description: Use the WP CPL Filter API to add our custom CSS
Version: 1.0.0
Author: Swashata
Author URI: http://www.swashata.com/
License: GPL2
*/
function my_awesome_wpcpl_css($css_list) {
$css_list['my_awesome_css'] = array(
'name' =--> 'My Awesome CSS',
'css_url' => plugins_url('/css/awesome.css', __FILE__)
);
$css_list['my_aawesome_css2'] = array(
'name' => 'My Awesome CSS2',
'css_url' => plugins_url('/css/awesome2.css', __FILE__)
);
return $css_list;
}
add_filter('wp_cpl_css_filter', 'my_awesome_wpcpl_css', 1);
and that will be all. Make sure you activate (check) the newly added theme from the WP CPL settings page before you start using it. Also you can add the same code inside your theme’s function.php file.
#2: The CSS template:
As of V2, there is a change in the CSS template. The shortcode and widget CSS are merged in the same file. Below is the template
/*************************
* THE WIDGET SECTION
************************/
/** The li background */
.wp-cpl-theme-theme_id li {
}
/** The thumbnail */
.wp-cpl-theme-theme_id li span.wp-thumb-overlay {
}

}
/** The even and odd */
.wp-cpl-theme-theme_id li.wp-cpl-even {
}
.wp-cpl-theme-theme_id li.wp-cpl-odd {
}
/** The sticky post */
.wp-cpl-theme-theme_id li.wp-cpl-sticky {
}
.wp-cpl-theme-theme_id li.wp-cpl-sticky a {
}
/*************************

************************/
/** Main wrap */
.wp-cpl-sc-theme-theme_id {
}
.wp-cpl-sc-theme-theme_id a {
}
.wp-cpl-sc-theme-theme_id .wp-cpl-sc-sticky a {
}
/** Entry wrap */
.wp-cpl-sc-theme-theme_id .wp-cpl-sc-post {
}
.wp-cpl-sc-theme-theme_id .wp-cpl-sc-sticky {
}
/** Thumb anchor */
.wp-cpl-sc-theme-theme_id .wp-cpl-sc-post .wp-cpl-sc-thumba {
}
.wp-cpl-sc-theme-theme_id .wp-cpl-sc-sticky .wp-cpl-sc-thumba {
}
/** Post h2 */
.wp-cpl-sc-theme-theme_id .wp-cpl-sc-post h2 a {
}
.wp-cpl-sc-theme-theme_id .wp-cpl-sc-sticky h2 a {
}
/** Post meta box */
.wp-cpl-sc-theme-theme_id .wp-cpl-sc-post .wp-cpl-sc-meta {
}
.wp-cpl-sc-theme-theme_id .wp-cpl-sc-sticky .wp-cpl-sc-meta {
}
If you have any problem, ask in the post or in WP community.

#0: Is it possible to use different CSS for different widget?
- Technically & simply Yes. Now you can simply choose the css theme from the dropdown (widgets) or mention the id in shortcode.
#1: To style widgets differently:
- Now this can be done using our CSS Theme filter API. Check the corresponding section.
#2: Changing the post thumbnail size:
- Install and run Regenerate Thumbnails plugin by viper007.
- Use it just after setting your thumbnail size and after changing the size to a new value.
#3: My Thumbnails are not showing up exactly as the size I have selected
- WP CPL uses the default Thumbnail or Featured Image Feature of WP 2.9+. So, the thumbs are created when you upload the picture.
- For older pictures, it is not generated automatically. In such case just install and run this Regenerate Thumbnail Plugin.
- After installing it first time or whenever you change the Thumb size, it is recommended that you run this plugin once

The only issue I know is it does not show post counts to the parent category from the child category. I am working on a solution for this. If you know a method please let me know.
The above issue has been solved. The solution is given here. Right now no issues have been encountered. However if you find one, please give a feedback here.

Hello,
The plugin is working fine and it really does what I need. Compliments for the work!
The questions I have are more related to styling & functionality:
– Could you tell me if this plugin can work for pages too? If yes, could you help with what I have to include within the shortcode please? I need to set a page where to list some other pages already published.
– The title of the post in the list has a different font than the theme I use and is quite big in size. Is here a way to change the font and to decrease a bit the size?
– The “subtitle” – the line where the author, date, no. of comments appear is too small. Could you help me please, with guidance to make it bigger?
Many thank you for answer!
Alina
Hi,
Is it possible to exclude current post from showing when using a widget? I know that i can type posts ID’s which i don’t want to show but i ‘just’ don’t want to show a current one.
Regards
D
That’s in the long todo list 🙂
Hi,
Thanks for this great plugin !
I am trying to translate the date that is displayed on the widget, I have been looking everywhere but does not see where I can find this. Sorry to bother you, do you know how I could do this?
Would only need the Apr 14th to be 14 Avr
Many thanks
I will put a filter in the future release so that you can update the date.
I was able to do this by editing
includes\wp_cpl_output_gen.php. Search fordate('d/m/Y'and replace for the date format you want.Look up online for PHP date formats.
Hello Swashata, your plugin is the best in the category. I am missing one utility – .pot (at least .po) file for translation purposes. Is there any possibility to translate it without these file/s?
Thank you very much in advance.
PS: than, I could send you Slovak and Czech translation if you want.
Hello,
Thanks for it. The standard way of translation is obviously using .po and .mo files. But the current translation of this plugin is kinda broken. I will fix it in the next release.
Please send me the translation, it would be great (I will add you as contributor). Please check your email.
I too am translating the to pt_BR and couldn’t quite figure out the po/mo thing.. so now I’m changing the file
wp_cpl_output_gen.php.In the next version, can you add instructions on how it can be translated? I would send you the poedit files for them to be available to others.
Thanks!
I’m using your plugin to feature a single post on a page but for the life of me can not figure out how to style it the way I want it to appear.
This is the shortcode I’m currently using:
[catlist ID=1259 orderby=date order=DESC numberposts=1 content=yes]
On the page below
http://www.207rewind.com/horoscopes/
I would like the Title of the post to be h1 styled and remove the bullet is this possible?
Layout wanted:
Post Title: h1 and Black
Post content
For reference I am using the plugin on other pages as well but styled differently using shortcode.
Hello,
That is not this plugin. That is rather some other plugin you are using 🙂
How is it not your plugin? Is this not the plugin “WP Category Post List Widget 2.0.3” that is the plugin I have installed and use on my site and I used your shortcode to make it appear on my page?
Yes, but as you can see [catlist] is not the shortcode given by this plugin. The shortcode is [wp_cpl_sc cat_id=1259 list_num=1 css_theme=2 sort_using=1 sort_order="desc"] … Replace your shortcode with this one.
Thanks for the plug In, it’s great!
I am using the widget to display posts in the right sidebar area on the front page. Problem is, the widget thumbnail size images are missing in Internet Explorer; however Safari, Google Chrome and Firefox shows all of them perfectly.
I set the size to 50×90 pixels and run Regenerate Thumbnail and the problem persisted.
Can you show me your site? It is strange that in IE it is not showing up. Also, try clearing the browser cache from IE. It might help
Hi! Thank you for your great job.
I have one little question about “list_num” parameter. What if I want to display all posts from the category? I understand that I can write something like “list_num = 999”, but is there a better way? May be “list_num = -1” ?
Thank you.
Currently there isn’t any. But in the next release you might have. Basically I have plan to make pagination.
are installed pagination?
I´ve installed qTranslate on a website for English / Spanish translation. I’m using your plugin to list posts sorted by TITLE on a page, but it only shows one language sorted, the other gets translated but not resorted by TITLE for the other language so “Alimentos Congelados” is listed first for Spanish and English translation “Frozen Foods” too. What can I do to fix this?
By the way… the widget shows both titles together “Alimentos CogeladosFrozen Foods” when qTranslate is active. Thanks!
I will what I can do to sort this out. I’ve seen similar problem with the widget before!
Thanks Swashata! Hope you can sort those qTranslate problems…
How to remove date : (Posted on Jul 18th, 2012 – By admin – 0 Comments) on [wp_cpl_sc cat_id=40 list_num=4 css_theme=2 sticky_post="79"]
Just add show_comments=”false” show_date=false show_author=false
Thanks 😀
Just installed your plugin – can’t get to the settings page – to set the thumbnail size
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class pagination in /wp-content/plugins/wp-category-posts-list/classes/pagination.class.php on line 3
It seems one of the plugin is causing trouble with this plugin. Edit the /classes/admin-class.php file and remove the line (from the bottom) which says something like
or something similar. That should solve your problem…
Using the shortcode, is there any way to exclude posts from a certain author, rather than just excluding individual posts?
No, there is not!
Hi Swashata!
Did you have the chance to check out the qTranslate problems?
Hi Swashata!
Really excellent plugins. Many thanks.
I found little problem and maybe this will help somebody. (Sorry for English)
I use plugin Map Categories to Pages (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/map-categories-to-pages/), so I have pages and posts in the category together. I used widget of this plugin and I noticed that on first level there was only posts, but when I click on any link, there was list of pages and posts (the list was different).
I changed: wp_cpl_output_gen.php (added line ‘post_type’ => any, ) and it worked.
$arg = array(
‘cat’ => $cat_id,
‘numberposts’ => $op[‘list_num’],
‘orderby’ => $wp_cpl_sort_array[$op[‘sort_using’]],
‘order’ => ((true == $op[‘sort_order’])? ‘ASC’ : ‘DESC’),
‘post_type’ => any,
‘post__not_in’ => $op[‘exclude’]
);
It’s true that I changed the same in Map Categories to Pages plugin, but it didn’t work.
Hi there,
Really good job, this is a good widget w/ all the custom needed for good integration in WordPress project.
I drop you a line about a little bug I found : when updating a widget configuration, choose the “No CSS Theme” and save my widget config, it works fine. But when I come back to update my config, the “Light Theme” is alway pre-selected.
Moreover, it would be good to display the date as configure in WordPress main configuration or to let us the choice of the date format. (fyi I run Version 2.0.3)
One more time : great job, this bugs are not really important to my mind.
Hello,
This is a great plugin but it seems that something is not working correctly.
I have the next shortcode:
[wp_cpl_sc sticky_post="1,2,3,4,5,6,7" cat_id=1]
But the “sticky_post” is only showing 5 of the posts in this order: 7,6,5,4,3
Post 1,2 and 3
Post 1,2 and 3 are missing…
I tried to change the order of the post and I get always 5 sticky post shown.
for example “98,87,11,5,2,8,6,45,8,1” will show 1,8,45,6,8
Your plug-in works great, except for a minor detail. The date does not – like other plug-ins – change to required (non-English) language. I´ve tried Localization and qTranslator w/o success. Any fix to this problem?
Many thanks in advance!
Great plug in. I have one question. Is there a way to show the entire post instead of excerpts? I tried lengthening the excerpts but it did not include embedded video. Thanks.
Sorry there isn’t any!
Try to use some excerpt editor plugin, maybe it will be…
Thank you for this plugin. I was hoping you could add to the list of features the ability to adhere to custom post types. Specifically, I am using this to display a tweets category, which uses the custom post type “Aside” to not publish the titles. I would love it if this widget would also not display the titles if the post type is Aside. Thanks again!
Hello, sorry for the delay I am on my vacation. Support for custom post type is long due in my todo list 🙂
I’m trying to show only a list of Categories… no posts
[ wp_cpl_sc cat_id=1410,1565,43 list_num=0 css_theme=0]
[ wp_cpl_sc cat_id=1410, 1565,43 list_num= css_theme=0]
Suggestions…
Just remove the space from the opening bracket:
[wp_cpl_sc cat_id=1410,1565,43 list_num=0 css_theme=0]I’m using the plugin at my site and i’d like show how to use at my blog. so i tried to translate the English to Korean, but i couldn’t name the po file properly. Would you tell me how to name the po file?
The translation thing is kind of messed up. Please wait until I fix it in the next release 🙂
Thanks. This is one of the best wp plugins I ever used. I’writing a book about wp and will introduce your plugin how to use. anyway it’s ok in English. I can show people how to edit the English text in the plugin.
Great plugin! There is a mode of paginate ?
Is it possible to exclude the current post? My widget shows all posts in the current category, so the post they are currently reading is in the list.
The same problem. How to exclude current post? On single page there is no need to have it additionaly on the list.
Hi, I’m using your plugin on my site http://www.inspirationboost.com
The plugin is awesome.
However, I face some problems as I’m not really good with codes.
Problems:
1) Currently I have 7 posts under the category “articles”, yet the widget only show 6 on the sidebar. How can I display all the post under that particular category?
I’m using this shortcode [wp_cpl_sc cat_id=6 list_num=10 css_theme=2 sticky_post="" show_comments=”false”]
2) How can I make the post shown in a descending way, where the latest post is listed at the top, not bottom?
3) How can I set the sticky post without changing the background color? I want the sticky post to have the same colour as the normal post.
The plugin looks great on my site, and it’s sad if I can’t use properly.
Please help me with this, will you? =)
Thanks in advance
1. Try using the widget instead of the shortcode in the sidebar.
2. Please check the faq. If you insist using shortcode, then it is under the shortcode tab of this documentation. If you use the widget, then there will be an option using which you can customize the sorting.
3. There is no direct way. Please check the CSS guide to understand which .selector you need to modify.
Hi, I am using the plugin and trying to show 3 posts but it always shows 6. I have put the code in but it doesnt work. Everything else works lovely but not list number of posts??
Please be descriptive. What code are you using? Note that the number is exclusive of sticky posts.
Hi, [wp_cpl_sc cat_id=44 list_num=4 css_theme=0 show_comments=false sort_using=5 show_date=false show_author=false]
None of my posts are stick Swashata
Hi Swashata, thanks for this plugin it’s exactly what I needed. However, can you tell me how to remove the 3 dots that appear at the end of the title?
would love to change the exerpt text color. It is using the main site css font color
Check the CSS documentation. You have to add your style to your theme style.css
Thanks for the plug-in…is there any way to change the title of the post to something smaller than H1? Also, my excerpts don’t show paragraphs is that normal?
Hi. I am loving the plug-in. Thanks so much for that! One thing I am having trouble with is trying to pull more than one category onto a page via shortcode. When I look at the examples above, it looks like I can just write:
[wp_cpl_sc cat_id=50,51 list_num=10 css_theme=1 show_comments=false sort_using=5 show_date=false show_author=false]
In this case, it will show category 50, but not 51. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Is there a way to specify a category (maybe in a custom field) on a PAGE and use the widget to display related category posts in the sidebar?
