This plugin extends <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-posts-shortcode" rel="ugc">Display Posts</a> by letting you break your content down by month or year. You can use all of the <a href="https://displayposts.com/docs/parameters/" rel="nofollow ugc">Display Posts parameters</a> to customize the query.
Month Listing
<pre><code>[display-posts display_by_month="true" posts_per_page="999" title="Posts by Month"]
</code></pre>
Use the <code>display_by_month</code> parameter to break it down by month. To list all your content, use a high <code>posts_per_page</code>, like 999. You can also add an optional <code>title</code> to appear above the listing.
Year Listing
<pre><code>[display-posts display_by_year="true" posts_per_page="999" title"Posts by Year"]
</code></pre>
Use the <code>display_by_month</code> parameter to break it down by year. To list all your content, use a high <code>posts_per_page</code>, like 999. You can also add an optional <code>title</code> to appear above the listing.
Filters
If you’re a developer, you can use the following filters to customize the markup:
<ul>
<li><code>display_posts_date_view_heading_tag</code> – The heading tag used for date headings. Default is h4.</li>
<li><code>display_posts_date_view_heading_class</code> – The class added to the heading tag. Default is .display-posts-date.</li>
<li><code>display_posts_date_view_month_format</code> – The date format used for month headings. Default is ‘F Y’.</li>
<li><code>display_posts_date_view_year_format</code> – The date format used for year headings. Default is ‘Y’.</li>
</ul>

WP Query Engine allows you to perform custom queries using the WP_Query class, using a simple shortcode or Beaver Builder module (requires Beaver Builder).
Supports: 
– Most post data 
– Taxonomy data 
– Meta data
In addition, the plugin offers several exposed filter and action hooks for theme developers to alter the default functionality, including adding additional parameters not specified in the shortcode.
Also includes 3 default templates, including:
<ol>
<li>Default : Standard content wrapped in an article tag</li>
<li>List : Post titles with links in an UL</li>
<li>Genesis Loop : If using a Genesis theme, will output using the Genesis Loop</li>
</ol>
Further, theme developers can easily alter or override the default templates using simple actions and filters, as well as include custom templates easily.
<h4>Using the Plugin</h4>
<ol>
<li>Place the [wp_query] shortcode anywhere withen your content</li>
<li>Use the do_action( ‘wp_query’, $args ); action hook anywhere in your theme</li>
<li>Using the Beaver Builder Module</li>
</ol>

<h3>Notes</h3>
This plugin is provided free, and while I will try to provide support to the best of my ability, I only have so much time to dedicate to supporting a free plugin. If you would like to contribute the this project directly, the main development is done at <a href="https://github.com/WPCodeLabs/WP-Query-Engine" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>.
