<p>The <em>Display Pages Shortcode</em> was written to allow users to easily display listings of pages without knowing PHP or editing template files, it is based heavily on the [display-posts] shortcode by Bill Erickson.</p>
<p>Add the shortcode in a post or page, and use the arguments to query based on tag, id, post type, and many other possibilities (see the Arguments). I’ve also added some extra options to display something more than just the title: include_date, include_excerpt, and image_size.</p>
<p>See the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Codex</a> for information on using the arguments.</p>

Easy Query – WP Query Builder

This plugin is missing a key feature I need BUT I am giving it 5 stars because I believe this is the best query builder I've seen AND the dev got back to me within 10 minutes and assured me that the feature I needed was in the works.

Very Nice Indeed
