Easily display posts, pages, custom post types or taxonomy terms in content areas using a customizable shortcode. Display your latest posts, group by taxonomies, display your post tags or categories, 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 a specific post type and use a timber template:
[ac_custom_loop timber=’true’ type=”foo”]
This displays the same as the previous example but uses a nice timber template.
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=”post_tag” term=”foo,bar” exclude=”baz”]
This displays posts tagged with foo and bar, but excludes those tagged with baz.
Display post tag terms:
[ac_custom_loop type=”category” tax=”post_tag” ]
This displays all your category terms and link to those post.
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).
