    Hi,

    I’m trying to get this plugin to work directly in a template file by using the <?php echo do_shortcode() ;> function. However if I try to put in specific options, some of them seem to work while others don’t.

    For instance this code works (showing 3 posts per site):
    <?php echo do_shortcode (‘[nlposts number_posts=”3″]’) ;?>

    But this one does not (trying to show just 3 posts all together):
    <?php echo do_shortcode (‘[nlposts number_posts=”3″ sorting_limit=”3″]’) ;?>

    Also trying to set some options to “TRUE” does not seem to work.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Hello Leime,

    If you want to embed Network Latest Posts into a template file, please use the following structure:

    // 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 );
}

    Also you must set sort_by_date => 'true' or sort_by_blog => 'true' when using sorting_limit=5 otherwise it won’t work.

    Let me know if this helps.

    Best regards,
    Jose SAYAGO.
