Hi – I really hope I didn’t miss this on the forum somewhere – I’ve got the People add-on running and I’ve added two people who are “Writers” (type). How can I get a list of these people’s names for the front of the site.
Do I need the Display Posts Shortcode plugin loaded and use it?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Shelly,
The Display Posts Shortcode is optional, where it would let you add lists to pages by means of a shortcode. If you just need a list on its own URL you can use this URL:
http://de1.32b.mwp.accessdomain.com/people-type/writer/

Ahhhhhh… Ok. Thank you, I do need it on a page, so I’ll need that other plugin. I’m going to assume that it will come with sample shortcodes I can use…
Thanks Josh!

Josh – I’m struggling to find what I add to the shortcode to have the list of authors display… It’s a custom post type, correct?
Tried:
[display-posts post_type=”people” id=”23″]
[display-posts category=”writer”]
But I really don’t know what I’m doing…
Thank you for any help you can provide..

[display-posts post_type="espresso_people"] will display an unfiltered list the people post type posts on your site.
[display-posts post_type="espresso_people" taxonomy="espresso_people_categories" tax_term="writer"] is an example of filtering by people category.
