• link = whether the title/thubmnail are links to the post
• moretext = edit the text of the read-more link
• card = will set class names to bootstrap cards, no further class customization is required

• class[x] = a custom class name that will be added to each container element

Shortcode for including single/multiple posts by their category.
Every option required or used in the include-post-by-id will also pass through here.
This function will query the DB and then call include-post-by-id once for each resulting post.
Shown here are only the options which are unique to this function.

[include-post-by-cat
 cat="123"
 order="DESC"

]

• cat = category to be shown
• order = sort order
• orderby = what to sort by
• paginate = true/false
• perpage = items per page. -1 = all
• offset = how many posts to skip, useful if you are combining multiple includes
