List category posts

• When filtering by a single category, you can add main_cat_only=yes to select only the posts that have this category as their main one (#449).

• New feature: use keep_orderby_filters=yes to prevent the plugin from removing 'posts_orderby' filters added by other plugins/themes.
• New feature: use ignore_sticky_posts=yes to ignore all sticky posts, they will still be displayed as regular posts in normal order if they match your filtering options, though. (#342)
• New feature: use cat_sticky_posts=yes to make sticky posts 'stick' when filtering by category. (#423)

= 0.66 = Full release notes: https://github.com/picandocodigo/List-Category-Posts/releases/tag/0.66

= 0.65 = Full release notes here: https://github.com/picandocodigo/List-Category-Posts/releases/tag/0.65

= 0.37 =

When using content=yes, if the post has a more tag, the plugin will only show the content previous to the more tag and not all the content as it used before (it now supports the more tag the same way as WordPress).

= 0.34 = * Now the plugin accepts either class or tag or both for styling elements (such as date, author, etc. to display). When just using a tag, it will sorround the element with that tag. When using just a class, it will sorround the element between span tags and the given CSS class. Check Other notes under HTML & CSS Customization for more info. * Fixed bug on post_status, it used to show all published posts and if user was logged in, all private ones too. Now you can specify 'private' to just display private posts, and draft, publish, draft, etc (See post_status param on the instructions for more info).

= 0.25 = * Translation support.

= 0.18 = Template system was upgraded with new options. Backwards compatible, but you can better customize the way the post contents are displayed. Check templates/default.php.

= 0.17 = Upgrade your templates: Templates system was rewritten, so your current templates will probably not work. Check out the new default.php file on /templates to see the simpler new way to work with templates.

= 0.13.2 = Thumbnail parameter 'thumbnails' changed to 'thumbnail.

= 0.7.2 = Template system has changed. Now the posts loop must be defined inside the template. Check templates/default.php for an example.

= 0.8 = Widget built for WordPress 2.8's Widget API, so you need at least WP 2.8 to use the widget.

= 0.9 = Template system has changed. Custom templates should be stored in WordPress theme folder.

• Fixes bug with order parameter after refactor: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/notice-undefined-variable-params/

This is a big release since @zymeth25 and I have been doing lots of refactoring based on maintainability, code quality and testing. It means the code is much cleaner and easier to maintain. So fixing bugs or adding new features should be easier now. If you find any issues, please report them on GitHub (https://github.com/picandocodigo/List-Category-Posts/issues).

• Development: We've refactored a lot of the code in include, updated the build, bumped versions, added tests, and more.
• Bugfix: An issue where customfield_display_glue was shown even when the custom field values were empty - https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-the-glue-content-if-costum-fields-are-empty
• Bugfix: Fixed excluded categories when using an and relationship.
• New parameter: ol_offset, when you use an ordered list, you can set an offset so the posts will start from that number instead of 1.
• Templates system refactor - The plugin now uses the template system by default. There should be no changes on how the plugin works, but please do let us know if you have any issues. Building templates should be easier now. You can use the included template as an example to start. It's in the plugin's template folder under the name default.php. Be warned, however, that this is the default template the plugin uses to create output so if you change it, you will change the plugin's default behavior. When you update the plugin this file will be overwritten so it's best not to edit it but copy it over to another file to create your custom template. More information on templates:
• Pull Request: https://github.com/picandocodigo/List-Category-Posts/pull/411
• Official docs: https://github.com/picandocodigo/List-Category-Posts/wiki/HTML-&-CSS-Customization#templates

• Adds support for several authors. To select posts from one author, you can use the author_posts parameter and use 'user_nicename' (NOT name). Example: [catlist author_posts="fernando"]. If you want to select posts from several authors, you need to use the author id instead. You can find the id for each author in wp-admin/users.php. It needs to be a comma separated value, example: [catlist author_posts="1,2"]
• Rewrote excludeposts function. It wasn't working very well with this.

• Adds "" to the "..." in pagination.
• Adds 'current_user' as an option to the author_posts parameter to list posts from logged in user.

• Hopefully final bugfix from alt in thumbnails

• Bugfix release: With 0.80, using the post title as alt attribute in thumbnails made a change to use get_the_post_thumbnail_url. But thanks to a post in the support forum, I noticed we lost some of the sizing functionality in get_the_post_thumbnail. So this version goes back to using get_the_post_thumbnail but keeping the new alt attribute for thumbnails.

• Bugfix release: fix for featured image link to full post not working. Thanks Werner!

• Use post title as alt attribute in thumbnails. Thanks @arcticmouse!
• Dynamic pagination paddin. Thanks @zymeth25! More info: https://github.com/picandocodigo/List-Category-Posts/wiki/Pagination#pagination-padding
• Bugfix current category for posts displayed in the loop. Thanks @zymeth25! More info: https://github.com/picandocodigo/List-Category-Posts/pull/363
• Added "private" text next to a post's title when it's private, thanks to a suggestion by @cmccrone in the support forums. The text is published with the following html: <span class="lcp_private"> private</span>, so you can customize the CSS (hide it, change its color, etc.).

• Requires PHP >

• Refactor in widget parameters by @zymeth25, all widget related issues with missing parameters will be gone for good.

• Adds before=today, when you use it the plugin will get today's date dynamically and display only old posts. Thanks @nnasirzada for the PR implementing this!
• Changes in pagination: You can now have no anchor links in the pagination. Check the wiki for more info. Thanks @zymeth25 for this feature! If you're using the lcp_page_link somewhere or customized the lcp-paginator.php file somehow, watch out because we refactored this function. Also, let us know what you changed to see if we can incorporate it in the core plugin :)

• Bug fix by @zymeth25: In some rare cases wp_reset_query fails to reset global $post to its initial value. This manual reset ensures the plugin leaves the main query in a clean state regardless of circumstances. Fixes https://wordpress.org/support/topic/your-plugin-has-a-crazy-bug-conflict-with-elementor/#post-10145793 and https://github.com/picandocodigo/List-Category-Posts/issues/320.

• Improvements in testing by @zymeth25.
• Removed hardcoded wp_ as table prefix and replaced with $wpdb->prefix to allow for WordPress database tables which are setup to use more secure prefixes by @djadan.

• Fixes parsing error for PHP < 5.4. We will be dropping support for PHP pre 5.4 soon, so we recommend you to upgrade to a newer version.

• Starting_with support for utf8mb4 charset
• Improve catlink/catlist in widget
• Avoid PHP Notices when trying to replace widget title but no category is present.

• Better test coverage

• Several bug fixes to pagination.
• Do not hide empty categories from widget. Special thanks to Klemens Starybrat (zymeth25) for all the contributions.

• Add pagination function for templates.

• Possibly fixed a bug where the code for the Paginator class would show up in some blogs. Apparently some PHP ini accept "<?" as a valid way of starting a php file, others don't.

• Adds "next" and "previous" classes to the previous and next buttons in pagination menu. The classes are lcp_prevlink and lcp_nextlink. Thanks @zymeth25.
• Adds pagination to Widget.

• Bug fix release: [catlist categorypage="yes"] had stopped working with WordPress 4.9. This is because the category check would compare a return value against the "Empty Term" translation key which was changed in this commit adding periods at the end of some error messages. So it was just a matter of adding the period in the if condition. Thanks helmutka for reporting this!

• Bumped version because WordPress.org wouldn't grab the previous one.

• Support "and" relationship for custom taxonomies, by Dalton Rooney.
• Support for multiple taxonomies in the same shortcode by TheSquiffy
• Tested up to WordPress 4.9
• Adds Irish translation by Jordan Silaen.

Several bug fixes:

• Makes sure the tags_as_class instance variable is defined. This squelched an 'undefined index' PHP Notice that appeared for widgets that were last saved before upgrading to 0.71.1. Fix by Matthew Eppelsheimer (@MatthewEppelsheimer on GitHub).
• Adds a new tutorial in the docs, check it out!
• Fixes a bug where customfield_value wouldn't work if a custom field's value

• Fixes "Undefined index: tags_as_class". Thanks @vacuus for the Pull Request! :)

• Added tags_as_class: Use a post's tags as a class for the li that lists the posts. Default is no. Thanks @vacuus on GitHub for this PR!

• Fixed customfield_class and customfield_tag issues. Thanks vacuus!!
• Tested up to WordPress 4.6.1
• Added date range, thanks again vacuus!! Check the docs to read how to use this.

• Adds custom css class to current page in pagination lcp_currentpage.
• Adds child_categories parameter to being able to exclude child categories' posts from a list.
