== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How to show the list of posts? =

To show list of posts you can use [List Category Posts](http://wordpress.org/plugins/list-category-posts/) plugin.

= On what functions shortcodes are based? =

Shortcodes [pagelist], [subpages], [siblings] are based on [wp_list_pages()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages) function.
Shortcode [pagelist_ext] is based on [get_pages()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_pages) function.

= What is the difference between [pagelist], [subpages] and [siblings]? =

Shortcodes [pagelist], [subpages] and [siblings] accept the same parameters. The only difference is that [subpages] and [siblings] not accept `child_of` parameter, because [subpages] shows subpages to the current page and [siblings] shows subpages to the parent page.

= How to create sitemap.xml? =
To create sitemap.xml you can use [Google XML Sitemaps](http://wordpress.org/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/) plugin.

= Is there "more-link" feature in the plugin? =
No, there is no "more-link" feature in the plugin. Because "[more-link](http://web-profile.net/web/web-principles/more-link/ "do not use more-link")":

* **bad for SEO.** Nobody will search your site with the word "more". "rel=nofollow" will not solve it too.
* **bad for usability.** There is already link on title and "more-link" is an extra no needed element on page. If user cannot understand that the title is the link, than there is a problem in css styles and not in plugin's templates.

= What to do if you need to change the plugin's code? =
When you changed the plugin's code you should also change the plugin's version to '100' (for example) to avoid updates, which could override and delete your code.
