Display a curated list of posts, pages, products, or any post type using a shortcode. 

== Description ==

Easy Curated Lists plugin lets you easily display a hand-selected list of posts, pages, products or any post type using a shortcode. 

To create a curated list, simply grab the ID's of the posts, pages or products and then use the shortcode **[easycuratedlists]** in the following format.

`[easycuratedlists id='1,12,25']`

You can also optionally specify `h2` or `h3` title for your list by adding it to the shortcode. 

`[easycuratedlists id='1,12,25' h2='My Curated List']`
