• order allows you set entries order. All posts and pages will be sorted by date, and you can choose a direction – by ascending or by descending. Sorting by descending is a default behaviour.

Creating simplest custom template

By default plugin will be search custom templates in a folder named templates in your theme. For create the one just add into this directory a new file with name like tpc-{template-name}.php. Every template should be named by that mask! Then put in created file your code. For example:

<?php foreach ($entries as $entry) : ?> <div class="entry"> <h3> <?php echo $entry['title'] ?> </h3> <div class="post-content"> <?php echo $entry['content'] ?> </div> </div> <?php endforeach; ?> 

For using your templates in shortcode, you need just choose it in widget or pass full filename (but without extension) in shortcode. For example:
template=”tpc-my-template”
