Hi Jose

Using do_shortcode() in theme files like:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[nlposts number_posts=5 blog_id=5,2 thumbnail=true thumbnail_filler=custom paginate=true posts_per_page=5 display_content=true sort_by_date=true sorting_order=newer sorting_limit=5 thumbnail_wh=150x100 css_style=style_nlposts]'); ?>
in content.php is not working. What can I do to make it respond? Or better yet, if possible, how can I insert posts using plugin function and avoid using shortcode altogether?

Thank you

Edgar

Hello Edgar,

If you want to include Network Latest Posts into a theme, you could use a template and embed it as a function like this:

<?php
// Check if the plugin has been activated
if( function_exists( 'network_latest_posts' ) ) {
    /**
     * Custom Parameters
     * Set only those you want to use
     */
    $parameters = array(
      'title'         => 'Recent Articles'
      'title_only'    => 'false',
      'auto_excerpt'  => 'true',
      'random'        => 'true'
    );
    // Execute
    network_latest_posts( $parameters );
}
?>

Gist link: nlposts_templateFunction.php

Please let me know if you need more help.

Best regards,
José Luis.
