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:
<pre><code>[display-posts]
</code></pre>
Filter by Category
To only show posts within a certain category, use the category parameter:
<pre><code>[display-posts category="news"]
</code></pre>
Display as Post Grid
You can create a great looking, column-based grid of posts with a bit of styling. <a href="https://displayposts.com/2019/01/04/post-grid-styling/" rel="nofollow ugc">Here’s how!</a>
List Popular Posts 
You can highlight your popular content in multiple ways. If you want to feature the posts with the most comments, use:
<pre><code>[display-posts orderby="comment_count"]
</code></pre>
You can also list <a href="https://displayposts.com/2019/01/04/most-popular-posts-by-social-shares/" rel="nofollow ugc">most popular posts by social shares</a>.
Include thumbnails, excerpts, and more 
The <a href="https://displayposts.com/docs/parameters/#display-parameters" rel="nofollow ugc">display parameters</a> let you control what information is displayed for each post. To include an image and summary, use:
<pre><code>[display-posts include_excerpt="true" image_size="thumbnail"]
</code></pre>
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.
Here are <a href="https://displayposts.com/tag/events/" rel="nofollow ugc">tutorials for popular event calendar plugins</a>. If your plugin is not listed here, submit a support request and I’ll add it!

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

I have hardly any page that does not use this plugin to display information extracted from posts. By using its hooks, I am able to generate carousels, accordions, and lists of posts for alerts, news, faqs, fundraisers, booking calendar, events, testimonials, and so on.

Swissknife for posts


nothing shows, or incompatible with woocommerce. no idea why, but i replaced this plugin by simple php snippets. much easier.


does not work at all


Any plugin coming from Bill Erickson can be trusted as an excellent coded tool!



And this Display Posts plugin doesn't disappoint.



If you're looking for an easy way to add posts anywhere you want without hacking theme files, the Display Posts plugin is the one you want to install! Lightweight and highly customisable.



Thanks Bill!  


Excellent

Loops & Logic is a toolset that allows you to have extensive control over the display of WordPress content & data on your site’s frontend for when your theme or builder doesn’t have the options you need. This plugin gives you the power of custom PHP theme & builder module development using a simplified HTML-like syntax that will be familiar to any frontend developer.
<h3>Support</h3>
<ul>
<li>Please see the <a href="https://loopsandlogic.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">official plugin site</a> and <a href="https://docs.loopsandlogic.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">the documentation</a> for a complete description of plugin features.</li>
<li>Support & discussions can be found on <a href="https://tangibletalk.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">our forum located here</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Use HTML templates with dynamic tags like Loop, Field, and If</li>
<li>Use theme location rules to apply custom templates to post types, taxonomies & more (similar to Beaver Themer or Elementor Theme Builder)</li>
<li>Easily enqueue your CSS stylesheets and Javascript anywhere using a visual location rule builder</li>
<li>Seamlessly write your CSS directly in SASS without worrying about compilation</li>
<li>Create query loops of any content type, such as: posts, pages, custom post types, attachments, users, taxonomies and terms</li>
<li>Display built-in and custom fields</li>
<li>Build logic to display things based on certain conditions, for example: creating a menu, with some links only for logged-in users, or by user role</li>
<li>Create custom shortcodes to display anything from a custom field to an entire dynamic-data driven web page</li>
</ul>
<h3>Example Usage</h3>
At the core of L&L is the ability to quickly and elegantly loop through WordPress data like in this example of displaying a list of links to the three most recent posts
<pre><code><ul>
 <Loop type=post count=3 orderby=date order=desc>
 <li>
 <a href="{Field url}"><Field title /></a>
 </li>
 </Loop>
</ul>
</code></pre>
Accomplishing the same thing in PHP is a little more complex:
<pre><code><?php
$args = array(
 'post_type' => 'post',
 'posts_per_page' => 3,
 'orderby' => 'date',
 'order' => 'DESC',
);
$query = new WP_Query( '$args' ); ?>
<?php if ( $query->have_posts() ) : ?>
 <ul>
 <?php while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>

 <li>
 <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
 <?php the_title(); ?>
 </a>
 </li>

 <?php endwhile; ?>
 </ul>
<?php endif; ?>
</code></pre>
It can be difficult to add PHP to your site if you’re not a backend developer, but L&L is a breeze to include, even in a page builder layout.
Page builders like Gutenberg, Elementor, and Beaver Builder often have gaps in their capabilities that would normally require you to either develop a custom add-on or purchase a bloated add-on pack just to get the one element you need. L&L adds a template editor module directly to each builder so that you can simply describe what you want to display in L&L code and place it using the builder interface. You can even copy-paste your L&L code between page builders if you work with more than one! It’s like having your own page builder addon factory.
<h3>Plugin & Theme Support</h3>
<h4>Plugin Support:</h4>
Loops & Logic works with the post types and custom fields added by most plugins, but plugins with special data structures like a custom tables or fields with data formats that need parsing require us to program explicit support.
<h4>Bundled integrations:</h4>
✅ Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)
L&L supports Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) field types in the core, allowing you to work with most of their field types out of the box! We also plan to support other WordPress custom field plugins such as Pods & Metabox in the future.
<pre><code><Loop acf_flexible=field_name>
 <If field=layout value=layout_1>

 Layout 1
 <img src="{Field acf_image=field_name field=url}" />
 <Field acf_editor=field_name />

 <Else if field=layout value=layout_2 />

 Layout 2
 <Field acf_editor=field_name />
 <img src="{Field acf_image=field_name field=url}" />

 </If>
</Loop>
</code></pre>
✅ Elementor
Loops & Logic provides an Elementor widget that allows you to either write L&L code directly in the page builder widget or select from a pre-existing saved template.
✅ Gutenberg
Loops & Logic provides a Gutenberg block that allows you to either write L&L code directly in the block builder block or select from a pre-existing saved template.
✅ Beaver Builder
Loops & Logic provides a Beaver Builder module that allows you to either write L&L code directly in the page builder module or select from a pre-existing saved template.
✅ WP Grid Builder
Loops & Logic provides a WP Grid Builder block that allows you to select from a pre-existing saved template to load in WP Grid Builder.
✅ WP Fusion
The freely-included WP Fusion integration allows you to use conditional logic to protect or display different content based on a user’s tags.
<pre><code><If user_field=wp_fusion_tags includes value="123">
 User has tag ID 123
<Else />
 User does not have tag.
</If>
</code></pre>

Loops & Logic

As a WordPresser who slings HTML + Tailwind CSS, this plugin has been an absolute godsend. I can do complex queries in the front end, and can go further than any 'Posts Module/Block/Widget' UI could ever hope for.

The fact that there’s only ~700 downloads at the time of this review is borderline criminal, but hey, I like to adopt the good stuff early :)

Dave Bloom

Just brilliant. Great support too.


Quite a nifty and powerful plugin for lowcode templating :) Saves a ton of development time.


Excellent lowcode templating


This is no exaggeration. L&L has been a lifesaver to me and saved hundreds of hours of extra work in template building. Really well done, Tangible. "This is the way!"


Lifesaver


Thanks for this plugin, it's great for its simplicity and concept, I love the ACF support.



Great documentation!


Amazing and seamless

Loops & Logic is a template system with content loops and conditions.
