\n\n\n\n

1\ufe0f\u20e3 Use a Plugin (Easy Method)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Replace \"your-category\"<\/code> with the actual category slug.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n
      2\ufe0f\u20e3 Use Custom PHP Code (For Theme or Custom Template)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

'<\/h2>'; \n    $posts = get_posts(array(\n        'category' => $category->term_id,\n        'posts_per_page' => -1 \n    ));\n    foreach ($posts as $post) {\n        echo '<a href=\"' . get_permalink($post->ID) . '\">' . esc_html($post->post_title) . '<\/a><br>';\n    }\n}\n?><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
      \ud83d\udccc This will list posts under each category<\/strong> with clickable links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n
      \ud83d\udd39 Group Posts by Tag<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      <?php\n$tags = get_tags();\nforeach ($tags as $tag) {\n    echo '<h2>' . esc_html($tag->name) . '<\/h2>'; \n    $posts = get_posts(array(\n        'tag' => $tag->slug,\n        'posts_per_page' => -1 \n    ));\n    foreach ($posts as $post) {\n        echo '<a href=\"' . get_permalink($post->ID) . '\">' . esc_html($post->post_title) . '<\/a><br>';\n    }\n}\n?><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
      \ud83d\udccc This will list posts grouped by tag.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n
