Shortcode

The UCF-News-Plugin comes with a prebuilt shortcode for displaying news lists within a content block. The options for the shortcode are very similar to those of the widget.

Basic Usage

To include a news list with the default options, simply add [ucf-news-feed] to the content editor of the page or post you'd like the articles listed on.

Available Options

It is possible to override some of the default settings by adding attributes to the shortcode. For example, if you wanted to list 5 articles instead of the default 3, you would update the limit attribute:

[ucf-news-feed limit="5"]

All of the attributes available have defaults that will be used if they're not overridden.
