Great Plugin

By byermedia on August 20, 2024

Very nice plugin, allows you make custom layouts with ease, I tried a lot of display post content plugin and by far this one is the best so far.

However could use improvement. Total agree with the review "Almost perfect". I'm using on very large websites and the bigger problem for me is unable to Exclude certain categories from showing, i'm just nit picking.

Practical and effective

Does what it's meant to do, and does it well. No fuss, no fluff, and good support to boot!

Almost perfect

By a4jp (a4jp.com) on March 13, 2023

I've been using this for over a year now and like it a lot but there are 2 major problems. The first is you just have to scroll through a huge list of categories to find stuff. At first this is okay but as your site gets bigger and bigger it gets difficult to find stuff. I wish it had a search box above the list. Japanese lists are not sorted in the standard あいうえお order and that is also why this needs a search box. The other problem is you can't select multiple categories to show the right posts if something is in two categories. It would be great if we could use the control key and select multiple items on the list like in other plugins.

Very Easy to Use

By UncleMorty on November 3, 2022

I wanted a widget that would display a single post; one of my choice. This simple plugin isn't really intended to do that, but it's very easy to use and friendly. The plugin allows you to query a keyword, so I just added a unique keyword to my post, and specified that word in the plugin's config, and set the number of posts to display to 1, simple! And I like the way it looks so much, I'll be using the plugin after I'm done with the single post I wanted it for.

Wordpress needs more plugins that display posts

By consumerista on April 25, 2022

Haven’t got to use it extensively yet but there’s a real need for plugins like this. Display recent posts block in core is really bad and not the easiest to customize with CSS. Keep up the good work

Perfect

Lightweight

By dulleca on September 12, 2021

A nice plugin that gives you a simple and lightweight functionality to achieve the look you want. Good job from the developer and waiting for more layouts and features.

Hands down the most professional post layout block you'll ever find

By Geraldo Pena Perez (geraldopena) on December 9, 2021

I think this plugin has a lot of potential. I am using it in all of my sites. For me there are a few things holding this plugin from being perfect: - If we could have the option of selecting a few categories on the query instead of having wether all categories or just one, that would be much appreciated. - The Layout #3 doesn't fill the whole width of its container, like the others do. Can you please fix this. Thanks!

super...

By aga2442 on June 21, 2021

I tried 40 different plugins in 2 days. This plugin provided exactly the result I was looking for. very successful. I have a suggestion. for example; The visitor reviews a content that is in category x. In the suggested articles, it should be added that it shows the articles in this category.
Try other plugins too!
