The newsfeed shortcode can be used to display a grid or list of a WordPress site’s blog posts (or, if you’re transitioning from the old site, from the University News system) on any page. It offers five optional attributes with which to control layout:
Horizontal Layout
Items laid out horizontally on a homepage template will display with four items across the screen.
Items laid out horizontally on a default template will display with three items across the screen.
Vertical Layout
You can use the vertical layout option to display two feeds side-by-side or to put a news feed next to a social media feed.
You can also use the attribute channel to display a channel from the University News system instead of the posts from the WordPress site.
Attributes
| Name | Possible Values | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|

| noimages | true or false | No | If set to true, images will not be displayed |
