Overview

This plugin allows you to use the jeherve_post_embed shortcode to embed posts from your site or others’ anywhere on your site.

When creating the shortcode, you can use any of the 20 shortcode parameters to make sure the embed will include the posts you want to display, and will look the way you want it to look.

Important: You can only pull posts from 3 different types of sites:

  • WordPress.com sites.
  • Sites using the Jetpack plugin, with the JSON API module.
  • Sites using the REST API plugin, by adding wpapi="true" to your shortcode parameters.
