Multiple Shortcodes on One Page

You can place multiple [herodotus] shortcodes on the same page. Each instance is completely independent:

<h2>Today in Science</h2>
[herodotus category="science" layout="list"]

<h2>Today in Sports</h2>
[herodotus category="sports" layout="list"]

Each instance can use different settings. Identical queries can reuse the same transient cache; an independent database query is not guaranteed for every instance.

Different Image Settings on One Page

[herodotus layout="grid-3" image_shape="1:1" excerpt_words="12"]
[herodotus layout="carousel-1" image_shape="16:9" excerpt_words="25"]

These Pro examples keep separate image settings. Attributes omitted from an instance inherit Appearance settings. All examples shown as text in this documentation are escaped so they do not execute.
