AC Custom Loop Shortcode

Easily display posts, pages, custom post types or taxonomy terms in content areas using a customizable shortcode. Display your latest posts, group by taxonomies, display your post tags or categories, use custom templates with Timber for Twig support.

Shortcode Options and Examples

Display a specific post type: [ac_custom_loop type=”foo”] This displays posts from the foo custom post type.

Display a specific post type and use a timber template: [ac_custom_loop timber=’true’ type=”foo”] This displays the same as the previous example but uses a nice timber template.

Display posts with specific tags: [ac_custom_loop type=”post” tax=”tag” term=”foo”] This displays posts tagged with foo.

Group posts by taxonomy (e.g., categories and tags): [ac_custom_loop type=”post” subtax=”category,tag”] Groups posts by categories, then by tags within each category.

Exclude posts by specific tags: [ac_custom_loop type=”post” tax=”post_tag” term=”foo,bar” exclude=”baz”] This displays posts tagged with foo and bar, but excludes those tagged with baz.

Display post tag terms: [ac_custom_loop type=”category” tax=”post_tag” ] This displays all your category terms and link to those post.

Use a custom template for loop display: To use a custom template, copy loop-template.php from the plugin folder to the root of your theme folder and modify as desired. You can also create templates for specific post types (e.g., loop-template-post.php).
