Description

Installation

  3. Add the shortcode [ac_custom_loop] to the content area of any page, post or custom post type or to any widget that supports shortcode.
  4. By default the shortcode will display your latest 4 post, you can use the ‘type’ and ‘show’ arguments to customise the type of post that are shown and how many eg. [ac_custom_loop type=”page” show=”3″] would show the last three published pages.

FAQ

Can I use my own template to display the looped posts?

Yes you can! Simply copy loop-template.php from the plugin folder to the root of your theme folder and edit as needed.
You can also create a template for each post type such as loop-template-post.php or loop-template-page.php or loop-template-my-custom-post.php
