You can use the [JSON API](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/json-api/) plugin for WordPress and create a new controller following the example, [see JSON tab here](http://timeline.verite.co/#fileformat). * Thread Starter [hyperdude](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hyperdude/) * (@hyperdude) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-verite-timeline-getting-wordpress-posts-into-timeline/#post-2716950) * OK, I have got JSON API Installed and kind of get how it is working. I don’t know much about JSON. * So if I put this link in my shortcode will this work? * [http://mydomain/?json=1](http://mydomain/?json=1) * Thread Starter [hyperdude](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hyperdude/) * (@hyperdude) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-verite-timeline-getting-wordpress-posts-into-timeline/#post-2716962) * Managed to create a new controller called Timeline.

The shortcode [timeline src=”[http://example.com/api/timeline/category_posts/”%5D](http://example.com/api/timeline/category_posts/”%5D) appears on your page in the page editor. There are additional options but that seems to be the minimum * [Nihad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/9had/) * (@9had) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-verite-timeline-getting-wordpress-posts-into-timeline/#post-2717087) * [@miguel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miguel/)… That was very helpful… Thank you very much.

A short tutorial would have been nice and saved me a lot of time (I would make one. But i’ve currently no time. Perhaps in a few weeks if i still remember). Anyway **GREAT plugin**! * Is it possible to style the timeline via the shortcode? I’ve seen there is a “ dark” theme in the css folder. Can i activate different themes in the shortcode? * [rajindertpss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rajindertpss/) * (@rajindertpss) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-verite-timeline-getting-wordpress-posts-into-timeline/#post-2717095) * Hi, I’m getting the “loading timeline” error… I have installed json API plugin and created timeline controller. But no help from this. * My shortcode is [timeline src=”[http://example.com/api/timeline/category_posts/”%5D](http://example.com/api/timeline/category_posts/”%5D) * Please help me.
