Embed posts from your site or others' into your posts and pages.
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.

FAQ
Can I insert the shortcode directly in my theme?
Yes, you can use the do_shortcode
function to do so. You can read more about it here.
I get the following error instead of my post list: `We cannot load blog data at this time`.
See the instructions here.
Are there other ways for me to customize the post embed list?
Yes! The plugin includes quite a few filters you can use to customize the post list. You can browse the plugin’s source code to find out more.
