Title: Custom Post Type List Shortcode Author: Blackbird Interactive Published: July 7, 2011 Last modified: December 10, 2014 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/custom-post-type-list-shortcode.svg) # Custom Post Type List Shortcode By [Blackbird Interactive](https://profiles.wordpress.org/blackbird-interactive/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/custom-post-type-list-shortcode.1.4.4.zip) * [Details](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-list-shortcode/#description) * [Reviews](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-list-shortcode/#reviews) * [Installation](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-list-shortcode/#installation) * [Development](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-list-shortcode/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-post-type-list-shortcode/) ## Description UPGRADE AT YOUR OWN RISK: We’ve added a legacy feature to the plugin which has been tested and is working on our local WordPress install. However, every environment is different, if you run into problem please visit http://blackbirdi.com/blog for support. When used with Custom Post Type UI plug-in (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ custom-post-type-ui/) and Advanced Custom Fields plug-in (https://wordpress.org/ extend/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/), you can easily list all of the posts within a post-type and sort by regular or custom fields. Updated and tested on latest version of WordPress (4.0) Most updates are because of users responding with requests. If you feel there is something that you would like to see in the plugin visit our site and post a comment. Enjoy! You can find documentation for the CPT_List @ (http://blackbirdi.com/blog/) ## Screenshots * [[ * Use of the shortcode with some options in a page content area * [[ * Custom post-type driven gallery after some jQuery and CSS. ## Installation 1. Upload `cpt_shortcode` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. Place shortcode `[cpt_list]` (see our site for documentation http://blackbirdi. com/blog ) in any content area/page that allows shortcode. ## FAQ Do I have to use Custom Post-types? You do not have to use custom post-types, Custom Post Type List Shortcode pulls ` posts` by default, but the real power of this plugin lies in the use of custom post- types. Is there paging? Paging is not supported in this version, though it is planned for a future release. What can I do with this plugin You can easily create a list of any specified custom post-type in any content area that allows shortcode to be executed. Some examples of use are: 1. Custom image gallery managed via `gallery` custom post-type. 2. Resturant menu page, menu items managed via `menu` custom post-type 3. Show schedule listing, where shows are managed via `shows` custom post-type. 4. Employee directory with names/photos/info, managed via `employees` custom post-type. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/51381d30ba4c8318cc42b5b700cf28bca6411a191eea101aabc6469fba4af046? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Thanks for such a useful plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thanks-for-such-a-useful-plugin/)󠁿 [DEP Tech](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dep-tech/) September 3, 2016 Well done! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/222654ed52cf1aff0db156b037df6bb3cd399ebeed75001853bf016ae064d75a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Finally something that works!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/finally-something-that-works-7/)󠁿 [grAPPfruit](https://profiles.wordpress.org/grappfruit/) September 3, 2016 Consider moving the documentation from your blog here please [ Read all 5 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-post-type-list-shortcode/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Custom Post Type List Shortcode” is open source software.
