 * Having modified posts_loop_template.php to show the entire content of posts, 
   and having placed it in the child theme it works perfectly.
 * However I find I don’t need to specify template=’posts_loop_template.php’ in 
   the shortcode as you instruct.
    Is it only necessary if you change the name of
   the template?

 * Yes, you should only need to add the `template` attribute if you change the name.
