Using Basic CataBlog Shortcodes Tutorial
Step 1 ) The following image shows you different color blocks displayed in the catalog.
The following shortcode and parameter [catablog template=”gallery” ] is used. This shortcode includes the parameter template=”gallery” with gallery template.
List Of Color
- Black Color
- Blue Color
- Lime Color
- Gold Color
- Red Color
The following image also displays Previous underneath the 5 images. If there are no more images to display then this feature is pointless and it makes no sense to display it on the catalog. To remove this option from the catalog, click on the following URL Troubleshooting CataBlog and check Q10 for a solution.
Step 2 ) The following image shows you the different color blocks displayed vertically. Each image shows you the title and a description underneath the title.
The following shortcode and parameter [catablog_gallery id=”7″ ] is used. The parameter has gallery number 7 assigned to it.
Using Limit Parameter
Step 4 ) The following image shows you two images displayed in the catalog with Previous 1 2 3 Next option. There are 3 sets of catalogs to view. This is because the limit of 2 is implemented in the shortcode. Remember there are 5 images in total that belong to the gallery with id 7.
The following shortcode and parameters [catablog_gallery id=”7″ limit=”2″ ] is used. This shortcode is using two parameters id=”7″ and limit=”2″. The id has gallery number 7 assigned to it and the paremeter limit has a limit of 2 added.
Using Category
Step 6 ) The following image shows you one image displayed in the catalog. The description is displayed underneath the title.
The following shortcode and parameters [catablog category=”red-color ] is used. This shortcode is using the following parameter category=”red-color”. The category has red-color assigned to it.
Note: In this example you can also use the following shortcode [catablog_gallery id=”34″ ].

I have been working in IT since 1999 and I enjoy the challenges it brings me. I love developing websites with WordPress. I spend a lot of time helping out in wordpress.org forums. I have been writing tutorials since 2011. Now I am learning how to manage my own VPS "Virtual Private Server.
I do not believe I have it in me to keep up with maintaining a place
like yours! Awesome piece of work, I really would
love to see you keep on for a long time.
thank you for your comment.
I am curious to find out what blog system
you are utilizing? I’m experiencing some small security issues with my latest site and I would like to find something more safe. Do you have any solutions?
Hello, thank you for your comment. I am using the same blog system as you WordPress. In relation to security would you be able to share some more information via a private e-mail or message if you like? It would be my pleasure to reveal what I am using. However in saying that, as long as you keep your site up to date with plugins, theme and WordPress then it is harder to get hacked. Of course you need to have some security plugins set up to implement more security.
Let me know if you need more information.
Kind regards
