The category posts accordion will render an accordion with posts from various categories, or with specific tags attached. A combination of tags and/or categories might be used. The feature is similar in nature to the Related Reading List except that the accordion will periodically update based on new articles added to the applicable category or tag group.
An Elementor widget or WordPress shortcode may be used. Note that this future is expected to receive a major update, so keep refer back to this FAQ from time-to-time.
The Result
The shortcode of [bm_category_posts categories="lender-bank-data"] returns the following:
An example panel returned with multiple categories and tag filtering applied might be [bm_category_posts categories="lender-bank-data,elementor" tags="something,something-else"]. Note that we accept category and tag slug - not ID. To return article associated with just a tag, and limiting the number of results is as follows: [bm_category_posts tags="something,something-else" number="10"].
Shortcode Attributes
Shortcode can be complicated, and using it is considered advanced. Elementor is easier! That said, if you choose to use shortcode, the following attributes will apply:
categories and tags
bgcolor
color
color_selected
hover
selected
line_height
font_size
words
height
more
more_style
font-weight: bold; font-size: 0.9em; (default).icon
profile
post_status
orderby
order
margin_bottom and margin_top
number
number="-1" for all results.truncate
Again, you can expect these attributes to change.
