# [Plugin: Display Posts Shortcode] "Wrapper" option not available

 * The “wrapper” option is not available in 1.6, as stated in the documentation.
 * Also, it would be nice to be able to display the list of posts as a comma-separated
   list of linked titles, to save some screen-estate.

 * Are you sure you’re using it correctly?
 * [display-posts] or [display-posts wrapper=”ul”] displays an unordered list.
 * [display-posts wrapper=”ol”] displays an ordered list
 * [display-posts wrapper=”div”] displays nested divs
 * I’ve just tested and confirmed with the current version of the plugin.
 * For other display options, like a comma-separated list, you’ll need to use the
   filters. There’s one filter for the opening wrapper (so set that to <p>), one
   wrapper for the closing wrapper (so set that to </p>), and one for the markup
   of each individual post. Here’s an example ( [https://gist.github.com/1342863](https://gist.github.com/1342863)).
   For the individual posts, I wrapped each one in a span and only included the 
   title. I’ve left all the parameters of the filter in place in case you want to
   add other content to the list.

 * Pretty sure. A search of the source show no hit on ‘wrapper’, specifically there
   no mention of it in the shortcode_atts array. It says 1.6 at the top.
 * Thanks for the filter!

 * So, I updated manually. Still 1.6, but now the wrapper option is there.

 * And, by the way, it’s unbelievably easy to just paste the filter in to the functions.
   php of a child theme, that way no modifications are lost on either wordpress,
   plugin or theme upgrade!

 * Here’s the actual plugin code: [http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/display-posts-shortcode/trunk/display-posts-shortcode.php](http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/display-posts-shortcode/trunk/display-posts-shortcode.php)
 * If you search, you’ll see ‘wrapper’ is mentioned 18 times. If you try the three
   shortcodes listed above you’ll get the desired result.
 * Yes, it is easy to put the filter in a child theme so it isn’t lost on update.
   That’s the purpose of the filters 🙂
