## Description

Bake post is developed in order to display posts in pages or in widget areas just
by pasting the respective shortcodes. Individual shortcodes are available for displaying
recent posts, posts on categories and tags. It has a feature to display featured
image as a thumbnail. Shortcode generator is also available to generate shortcodes
according to requirement.

Shortcodes for displaying Recent Posts are

1.[bake-post-recent limit=5 excerpt=”no” featured_image=”yes”]

2.[bake-post-recent limit=5 excerpt=”yes”]

These two short codes can be used to display recent posts. Excerpt option can be
used to display description as excerpt or full content. Featured Image can also 
be displayed by setting featured_image=”yes” in the shortcode.

Shortcodes for displaying Posts on category are

3.[bake-post-category term=’slug’ category=’all’ limit=5 excerpt=”no” featured_image
=”yes”]

4.[bake-post-category term=’slug’ category=’all,stories’ limit=5 excerpt=”yes”]

5.[bake-post-category term=’id’ category=’1′ limit=5 excerpt=”yes” featured_image
=”no”]

6.[bake-post-category term=’id’ category=’1,2,3′ limit=5 excerpt=”no”]

Term values differs from “id” or “slug”. If Slug is used, category value should 
be category slug values. For example, if your category name is short stories, Slug
will be short-stories. We can use multiple slug values seperated by commas. If id
is used, category value should be category id values. For example, We can use multiple
id values seperated by commas.Featured Image can also be displayed by setting featured_image
=”yes” in the shortcode.

Shortcodes for displaying Posts on Tags are

7.[bake-post-tags term=’slug’ tag=’tag1′ limit=5 excerpt=”yes”]

8.[bake-post-tags term=’id’ tag_id=’1,2,3′ limit=5 excerpt=”no”]

Featured Image can also be displayed by setting featured_image=”yes” in the shortcode.
