The newsfeed shortcode can be used to pull information in from a WordPress site’s blog or, if you’re transitioning from the old site, from the University News system. It also has settings that will allow you to configure its look.
Horizontal Layout
Items laid out horizontally on a homepage template will display with four items across the screen.
Items laid out horizontally on a default template will display with three items across the screen.
Vertical Layout
You can use the vertical layout option to display two feeds side-by-side or to put a news feed next to a social media feed.
You can also use the attribute channel to display a channel from the University News system instead of the posts from the WordPress site.
