<p>This tool functions much like a Post List builder to give Admins the most amount of control over managing content to display. Developed with Web Designers & Developers in mind, makes this a highly customizable tool to have around. However, there is a sharp learning curve for most.</p>
<p>You must know:</p>
<ul>
<li>HTML</li>
<li>CSS</li>
<li><em>(Optional)</em>
<ul>
<li>JavaScript</li>
<li>PHP</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>Advanced Post List (aka APL) is designed to operate much like The Loop in WordPress; which is most notable in Themes. However, that concept is taken and turned into an Admin tool that can easily be changed, moved, or added/removed. This eliminates much of the backend work, and prevents being limited to what is hardcoded into a theme.</p>
<p>This also makes multiple Featured Content with different configurations more of a breeze, and the complexity of it is a challenge that APL achieves unlike any other.</p>
<p>APL can accomplish a large degree of variations, but can be broken down to 3 main types of tasks. With Filter, Design, and Placement, here are some of the key features.</p>
<h3>Filter</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Custom Post Type and Taxonomy Support (CPT)</strong> – Displays Posts/Pages from custom post types, taxonomies, and terms. This includes other plugins with post data. but may store its data differently than post_content. (<strong>Advanced Users, see php_function shortcode.</strong>)</li>
<li><strong>Enhanced/Diverse Queries</strong> – Capable of diverse filter configuration when displaying posts. This feature allows…
<ul>
<li>Cross Filtering with Custom Post Types.</li>
<li>Diverse Post Types -> Taxonomies query configurations.</li>
<li>Multiple Query configurations with include and require.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Optimized with Complex Queries</strong> – Once deemed an Achilles Heel to WP Query, steps are taken to reduce the server load as much as possible.</li>
<li><strong>Dynamic Filters</strong> – Grabs values to filter by based on the current posts/pages being viewed. <em>Ex. Displaying Related Posts in a Header, Footer, Sidebar, etc..</em></li>
<li><strong>Show Content from Published, Private, Future, etc.</strong> – This is a <em>development feature</em> and may not provide intended results. Display content on the frontend so users don’t have to navigate to the admin side. Allowing private landing pages to be created. <em>Note: Requires advanced knowledge on how WP Query and User Perms operate.</em></li>
</ul>
<h3>Design</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Layout and Style 99.9% Customizable</strong> – There’s nearly no limitations to the design, with some exceptions that may surface with (Child) Theme’s CSS. This does require some knowledge in Web Design. <em>Note: This is NOT to be confused with Drag and Drop UI/UX.</em></li>
<li><strong>Internal Shortcodes</strong> – Adds various data from Post object, and is one of the extensive features. Being able to extend to shortcodes with custom PHP functions make the possibilities practically limitless. <a href="https://support.advancedpostlist.com/doc/internal-shortcodes/" title="List of Internal Shortcodes" rel="nofollow ugc">See full list & details</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Encapsulated for Zero Conflicts</strong> – With a large number of shortcodes on any given site. Isolating Internal Shortcodes to its own instance eliminates any plugin conflicts.</li>
<li><strong>Custom Formats to Loop ( The Loop )</strong> – Themes follow this concept, but APL turns that concept into a tool. The “List Content” loop, as well as the before & after, is where most of the work is done with preset HTML, CSS, JS, & PHP designs. It is also optional to set an Empty Message (No Posts Found) to display.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Placement</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Post List Shortcode</strong> – User friendly method of adding Preset Post Lists to a section of a page.</li>
<li><strong>Sidebar Widget</strong> – Easier to use. However, adding post list shortcodes to the text sidebar also produces the same results.</li>
<li><strong>PHP Hardcode</strong> – For more extensive design work. There is a public function for displaying Preset Post Lists where WordPress support and functions for admins aren’t fully present.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Other Plugins Tested/Supported</h3>
<p>There’s various plugins that offer a unique capability, and some of which APL can use as intended, but there are also some don’t. Here is a list of popular plugins that have been tested and verified by Advanced Post List.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Advanced Custom Fields</strong> – Requires php_function shortcode.</li>
<li><strong>WPML</strong> – With WordPress Multilingual installed, additional Designs can be created for rendering a Post List in different languages. Posts/Pages are handled automatically and will display content in various languages.</li>
</ul>
<p>APL is open to development requests and welcomes those willing to report on any issues.</p>
<h3>Help & Support</h3>
<p>Currently, information can be found in 2 different locations. This is due to recent changes, and is only temporary.</p>
