Displaying the plugin on the front-end

There are two ways to display the plugin.

    [article_transformer categories=1,2,3]

where categories=1,2,3 are your categories term_ID
term_IDs are visible in the General Settings categories list in brackets

2) Integrating inside your theme loop

Add following code:

    if (function_exists("article_transformer_the_loop")) 
        article_transformer_the_loop();
    

right above your theme posts loop code:

    if (have_posts())  

    -> PLACE THE CODE HERE <-

        while (have_posts()) 
            the_post();
            ...
            ... 
            ...
