== Displaying Live Score ==

Use the `[proscores]` shortcode where you want to display the live scores. You can also use the `list` attribute to change the match list. For example: `[proscores list="live"]`.

For the `list` attribute, you may use the following values: `today`, `live`, `tomorrow`, `yesterday`. The default value is `today`.

- `today` = today’s matches
- `live` = live matches
- `yesterday` = yesterday’s matches
- `tomorrow` = tomorrow’s matches

== Displaying Standings / Tables ==

Use the `[prostandings]` shortcode where you want to display the standings. The default league is the English Premier League. You can use the `path` attribute to change the league. For example, `[prostandings path="/a/23/league/spain-la-liga/standings"]` will display the La Liga standings.

Other attributes you can use to change the view of the standings include:

- `[prostandings compact="1"]` will show only points, played games, and goal difference.
- `[prostandings logos="0"]` will hide team logos.
- `[prostandings legends="0"]` will hide promotion information.

For other leagues, visit our site at [LiveScores.pro](https://livescores.pro) and navigate to the desired league's standings page. In the address bar, you will see a URL like `https://livescores.pro/a/50/league/england-premier-league/standings`. Copy the path part, which in this example is `/a/50/league/england-premier-league/standings`, and use it in the shortcode.
