    Hi have this function that is meant to return all the post of category news, the problem is that is only returning one post of that category I want to return all the post.

    <?php
//function to display the third last news published
function wptuts_third_last_news_shortcode($atts, $content=null) {
query_posts( 'category_name=news' );   if (have_posts()) :
      while (have_posts()) : the_post();
	 		 $blog_link = get_permalink(); // this si the link
         $return_string =  "<a href=" .$blog_link .">" . get_the_title() . "</a>" ;
      endwhile;
   endif;
   wp_reset_query();
   return $return_string;
}
add_shortcode( 'third_last_news', 'wptuts_third_last_news_shortcode');
?>

  • try to add the ‘posts_per_page’ parameter to the query:
    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Pagination_Parameters

    and concatenate the return string:

    $return_string .=  "<a href=" .$blog_link .">" . get_the_title() . "</a>" ;
