to try to get around it temporarily, i went to add ‘archive’ as a posts category to try to display them that way, (tho the artist really wants it as a status, not a category) and am unable to see it as a category either in wp-show-posts. https://imgur.com/a/pMdSGr8
never mind that last bit, i had to publish them to get the categories to show up as they are the only posts so far. so…. only my first question applies.

Try adding this to your shortcode: settings="post_status=archive"
For example:
[wp_show_posts id="xx" settings="post_status=archive"]
Let me know 🙂
yes, it mostly works. it shows the words ‘sorry no posts were found’ above the posts that are archived. lol. but we’re close. i can hide that error with css. thanks tom. do you have a premium version of this plugin? 🙂
hmm. i take it back now it’s not working again. it no longer seems to be picking up the posts. i tried to adjust my list to include pagination and it stopped working. *sad horn*
what’s odd is, if i put the shortcode in a new wordpress page, the page shows nothing, if i put the shortcode in the elementor pro shortcode block, i can see the posts in the elementor editor, but still not on the website.
halp. 🙂
oh! nevermind, i un-archived them, re-built the list and then archived them again and they appear with the pagination. sometimes i just have to ASK for help.

That’s strange – glad it’s working now though 🙂
