Usage

To display posts from a remote WordPress website on your frontend, utilize the provided Shortcode.[display-posts-remote] In order to fully leverage the advantages of using this shortcode, it is essential to utilize the following attributes:

Attributes

Attribute	Description	Example
url	URL needs to be provided in order to pull from remote. Note that you don't need to include https:// or http:// at the beginning of the URL, and also you must not add 'wp-json/wp/v2/posts' at the end of the URL.	[display-posts-remote url="www.ucf.edu/research"]
cache_timeout	Cache timeout is responsible for caching posts to reduce load time and prevent sending new requests to the API. If you want to clear the cache, assign it to 0.	[display-posts-remote cache_timeout="0"]
include_excerpt	Excerpt will be shown if the attribute is assigned to true. Note that if posts include a custom excerpt, it will be pulled; otherwise, the shortcode will generate an excerpt from the content of the post.	[display-posts-remote include_excerpt="true"]
excerpt_length	It is essential to limit the number of characters we want to show in front of each post. We suggest using a positive number between 10 to 20.	[display-posts-remote include_excerpt="true" excerpt_length="10"]
image_size	The size of the image. Currently, the only size available is thumbnail. We will provide any updates in the future here.	[display-posts-remote image_size="thumbnail"]
wrapper	It's the container of all of the posts. You can use div, li, or ol (we suggest using div).	[display-posts-remote wrapper="div"]
wrapper_class	Ability to pass classes to the container. For now, it's essential to pass 'image-left', but you can add whatever classes you like.	[display-posts-remote wrapper_class="image-left"]
posts_per_page	One of the most important attributes to limit the number of posts pulled from APIs. By default, we pull 10 posts, but we suggest using a number between 4 to 6.	[display-posts-remote posts_per_page="4"]

So in summary, your shortcode will be like this:

[display-posts-remote url="www.ucf.edu/research" cache_timeout="0" include_excerpt="true" excerpt_length="10" image_size="thumbnail" wrapper="div" wrapper_class="image-left" posts_per_page="4" ]
