# [Plugin: Display Posts Shortcode] title of post without link

 * Finally (and thank you for all of your help, as I said, this plugin helps me 
   immensely, despite all the questions), I am hoping to just include a non-linked
   version of the title. I have gone into the css and I see how to do this on my
   own (and I was successful), but I am concerned that future updates of the plugin
   will wipe out my changes each time. Also, I was curious if there’s any way to
   add a new argument (is that the right term?), that is an unlinked title, as opposed
   to the one included, that is (by default)linked. This would provide some flexibility,
   in case there was some area that I wanted to include linked titles, as opposed
   to unlinked ones. Currently though, I don’t want users to have the option to 
   see the individual post, but instead, just an aggregated feed of all the posts
   together. I will be using Display Posts Shortcode on my landing page (inside 
   a widget, but only displaying the three most recent) and also on it’s own dedicated
   page where all posts will be included. Anyway, the question is: is my only option
   to go in and change the css to customize this (and risk losing it with future
   updates) or is there a more efficient and sustainable way of going about it? 
   Thank you.

 * That’s a great question. I’ve provided all the most common arguments, but you
   can fully customize the plugin using the output filter.
 * I just added an output filter that checks to see if there is a title and if ‘
   linkedtitle’ equals false, then wrap the title in a span instead of a link (this
   way you can still style it, but it doesn’t link anywhere).

 * In my page I used this shortcode: `[display-posts linkedtitle="false"]`
 * Every attribute that is added in the shortcode is accessible in the `$atts` variable.
   You can then use them to do whatever you like using a filter.
