Shortcode parameters

The jeherve_post_embed shortcode includes different parameters, listed below:

• url:
  • URl of the site from which you want to retrieve posts.
  • Accepts URLs (no need to specify the scheme).
  • Important: If you use the default method to get posts, the site you’ll pull posts from has to be hosted on WordPress.com, or use the Jetpack plugin with the JSON API module. If you use the WP REST API, the site has to use the WP REST API plugin, version 2 or above.
  • Defaults to your own site.
• wpapi:
  • Default to false.
  • Set to true to retrieve posts from a site using the WP REST API plugin.
• ignore_sticky_posts:
  • Default to false.
  • Use true or false to decide whether you want the embedded post list to include sticky posts.

• image_size:
  • Allows you to control the size of the Featured Image displayed above the posts, if you’ve set include_images to true.
  • For that option to work, you’ll need to use Jetpack on your site, as well as the Photon module.
