## Description

The plugin adds 3 shortcodes:
 [wk_terms /] for displaying categories, tags, any
other taxonomies, works through the WP_Term_Query class. [wk_posts /] for displaying
posts, pages and any other post types, WK_posts receives data through the WP_Query
class [wk_pages /] output of hierarchical structures of pages, posts and other types
of posts, the data is obtained using the get_pages() function

Shortcodes pass all call parameters to the corresponding functions and receive the
initial data set from them.
 Explore the basic parameters of calling source functions
by following the links.
