Frequently asked questions.
Can I output using a template tag?
Of course! Just include <?php echo do_shortcode( '[AuthorRecommendedPosts post_id="XXX"]' ); ?> where XXX is the ID of the post, or you can leave it out if you include it in the loop. i.e. <?php echo do_shortcode( '[AuthorRecommendedPosts]' ); ?>
I want to make it fit the style of my site better
We left the styles pretty generic so it is simple enough to update to fit your theme style. Of course some CSS writing will be required.
Is there a widget?
At this time no, we want to add this in though. So keep your eyes peeled.
Why did you make this?
We did not really find any plugins out there that does just this. And we wanted something quick, simple, and easy to use.
