    A question, am I stupid or what?
    When I look in the plugin description and I try to implement it on our sites it does not work.
    Let me explain. there are a few subdomains of lutecium.org, a.lutecium.org b.lutecium.org etc.
    I need to be able to share posts easily. A post from a. should be accessible in b. without having to copy it (same concept as symlinks in Linux).
    I understand that this plugin is able to do this. Can someone give me an actual example of what has to be written in the settings (and possibly in the posts).
    I tried to decode the hints provided, but no success!

    Thanks in advance for your care
    All the best
    Jacques

    Hi @jacsib;
    As of right now if you want to share the same posts and several different subdomains you must first network activate the plugin and then copy the shortcode you have created on each page on each subdomain. The shortcode you would use would be exactly the same for post or page on each subdomain.

    This plugin is designed to only show excerpts from each post. Not to show a whole post. Look at this page (not pretty just an example) scroll to the bottom and see what happens if you show all content of a single post. The page formatting does not carry over unless on each page you include <p></p> between each paragraph. It will not be automatically added on auto excerpt. You may style the position of the image with custom css.

    Here is an example:
    [netsposts include_blog="2" auto_exerpt="true" excerpt_length="9999" thumbnail="true" post_type="post" include_post="Post_ID_Number"]
    will show the full content (just make excerpt length long enough).

    If you look at this page: https://amsoil.syntheticmotoroil.org/atv-utv-components/ the bottom listing is like the example above. Notice the box. It’s not designed to show full content like a regular post page. It’s beyond the scope of this plugin.

    The above excerpts are generally what it’s made for. Doesn’t look pretty but that’s why I made you be able to add custom css in all aspects. This is just a rough example. To make it look sharp you should have all excerpts have the exact same word length to look uniform.

    I have added the argument full_text=”” so you may now show the full content of a post or blog on any site in your blog.

    Example:
    [netsposts post_type=”page” include_post=”333″ full_text=”true” thumbnail=”true”]

    The above example will show page with ID number 333 and all its text with the post thumbnail. Unfortunately images won’t be transferred over. If items don’t look right you’ll have to use css to align them correctly.
