Include excerpts in posts by category

    I have several blog categories. For each, I’d like to show the list of posts with excerpts included. But right now I can either show a list of blog titles in the category without excerpt, or I can show all posts with excerpt but they’re not limited to the category.
    Attempted fixes:
    1. I used this short code, but it doesn’t limit my posts to the category:
    [display-posts posts_per_page=”6″ cat=”3″ include_excerpt=”true”]
    I don’t know why that doesn’t work. (That’s the bottom section of my page.)
    2. So from https://diveinwp.com/shortcode-display-post-from-categories/ I got some code I added to functions.php, and then I used this short code:
    [diwp_recent_posts cat=”3″ num=”20″ order=”desc”]
    But it doesn’t show excerpts. So I tried changing it to this, but it didn’t work:
    [diwp_recent_posts cat=”3″ num=”20″ order=”desc” include_excerpt=”true”]
    (It’s shown at the top of the page.)

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Wrong forum. This is the List Category Posts plugin’s support forum, the shortcodes and link you posted refer to other plugins.

    That said, our plugin can help you achieve what you need. Read the plugin’s description and head over to our documentation to learn how to use it.

    I solved this, but now I have different problems, with the style of the category-list-with-excerpt page.
