FAQ
-
I would like to get a list of posts but just from one category
-
Enter category ID into
Include category
field, and leave uncheckedOnly top level categories
checkbox. -
I set in template macro to display excerpt, but no excerpt displayed
-
Enable option
Use post content as excerpt
in widget, or provide shortcode parametercontent=1
, because you did not have manually set excerpts for posts, so you must ask PPC to generate excerpt from post content.
