Display Posts – Easy lists, grids, navigation, and more

What the author says it does

Display Posts allows you easily list content from all across your website. Start by adding this shortcode in the content editor to display a list of your most recent posts:

[display-posts]

Filter by Category

To only show posts within a certain category, use the category parameter:

[display-posts category="news"]

Display as Post Grid

You can create a great looking, column-based grid of posts with a bit of styling. Here’s how!

List Popular Posts

You can highlight your popular content in multiple ways. If you want to feature the posts with the most comments, use:

[display-posts orderby="comment_count"]

You can also list most popular posts by social shares.

Include thumbnails, excerpts, and more

The display parameters let you control what information is displayed for each post. To include an image and summary, use:

[display-posts include_excerpt="true" image_size="thumbnail"]

You can use any image size added by WordPress (thumbnail, medium, medium_large, large) OR any custom image size added by your theme or other plugins.

Sort the list however you like

By default the listing will list the newest content first, but you can order by title, menu order, relevance, content type, metadata, and more.

List upcoming events

You can easily list upcoming events from any event calendar. Each plugin will require slightly different code.

The opening of the plugin's own description. The full text, installation notes and changelog are on its WordPress.org page.
