  1. you need to concat the string check the code below 🙂

    function post_link_shortcode($atts)
    {
 $twf_recent_post='';
    // Attributes
    extract(shortcode_atts(array(
        'category' => '',
        'numberposts' => '',
        'order' => ''
    ) , $atts));
    // Code
    if (isset($category))
        {
        $recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts($atts);
        foreach($recent_posts as $recent)
            {
            $twf_recent_post .= '<a href="' . get_permalink($recent['ID']) . '">' . $recent['post_title'] . '</a><br />';

            }
return $twf_recent_post;
        }
    }
add_shortcode('twf-link-to-post', 'post_link_shortcode');
