  1. Install a Post Listing Plugin :
     • Go to your WordPress dashboard.
     • Navigate to Plugins > Add New.
     • Search for a plugin that allows you to display post lists or grids by category.
     • Install and activate the one that fits your design needs (look for one with good reviews and category filter support).
  2. Configure the Plugin Settings :
     • After activation, go to the plugin’s settings (usually under the Settings, Appearance, or a new tab in your dashboard).
     • Choose the layout (list, grid, carousel, etc.).
     • Select the category you want to show posts from.
     • Set options like the number of posts to display, featured image, excerpt, date, etc.
  3. Generate a Shortcode :
     • The plugin will typically provide a shortcode generator.
     • Use the generator to select the desired category and layout.
     • Copy the generated shortcode.
  4. Place the Shortcode on Any Page or Post :
     • Go to Pages or Posts and edit the one where you want to show the category-based post list.
     • Paste the shortcode into the content editor (Block or Classic).
     • Save and publish the page.
  5. Add to Widgets or Sidebars (Optional) :
     • If the plugin supports widgets, go to Appearance > Widgets.
     • Drag the plugin’s widget into your sidebar or footer.
     • Choose the category and customize display settings.

  Optional Customization :

  • Some plugins offer custom CSS or template overrides for advanced styling.
  • You can usually add multiple shortcodes for different categories across your site.
