<p>Easy is a multi-functional widget covering most of the native WordPress functions commonly used in templates.<br />
You can place almost any part of your content anywhere in your sidebars.</p>
<p>The widget is made out of drag&drop bits (bricks) and is totally up to you what you want to show on your website.</p>
<p>Showcase:</p>
<p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/N8KoQmQmXB0?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe></span></p>
<p>Easy widget has variety of bricks representing the content and its logic. You can make simple or complex layout simply by dragging the bricks in to their slots and define on what cases it has to be shown or not.</p>
<p>Content bricks are:</p>
<ul>
<li>title</li>
<li>content</li>
<li>featured image</li>
<li>categories</li>
<li>tags</li>
<li>taxonomies</li>
<li>custom meta</li>
<li>comments</li>
<li>author</li>
<li>date</li>
<li>shortcode</li>
<li>post gallery</li>
<li>sidebar</li>
<li>WPpagenavi (when installed)</li>
<li>…</li>
<li>and even your own content bricks if you like</li>
</ul>
<p>The resulting content is displayed based on the logic you build the same way as you did the content.<br />
You just drag the logical bricks to their slot and the content will be shown based on that logic.<br />
Logical bricks are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Number of posts</li>
<li>post type chooser</li>
<li>offset</li>
<li>hierarchical logic (for pages and alike) </li>
<li>category filter</li>
<li>custom meta filter</li>
<li>post status</li>
<li>edit link</li>
<li>permissions</li>
<li>meta filter</li>
<li>taxonomy filter</li>
<li>…</li>
<li>and even your own logic bricks if you like</li>
</ul>
<p>In adition to that the result can be designed to your needs. You can add your own classes to the whole widget (the HTML structure) and also to each content brick (a part of the content).<br />
Then again it is totally up to you how you design your website.</p>
<p>Does it reminds you something?<br />
Yes, it is exactly what you do when you design your template; you loop through the post or pages in your template, but this time without touching the code.<br />
All the content and logical bricks are only graphical representation of the WordPress functions.</p>
<p>The aim of this plugin is to speed up common programming work, so we do not have to repeat our selves.<br />
Imagine a website made out of “sidebars” filled with widgets representing the list of last posts, menu, the image gallery, any content that is actually the website.<br />
All built out of widgets that you can re-arrange anyway you or your client like right out of the admin area. That is the main purpose of the widgets anyway, Easy makes it real.</p>
<h4>Notice</h4>
<p>In order to have the website fast as light even with the Easy plugin heavily in charge use the W3TC caching plugin [<a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/" rel="ugc">1</a>]</p>

Easy

Plenty of options. Easy to use. Highly recommended to anyone who needs to create a custom configurable widget without the hassle of touching any PHP code. May need to add a dash of CSS to style your creation though.
One recommendation: Add a way to override HTML tags. For example, I prefer to use < article > instead of div and < li > for some items. A text field for the preferred HTML tag above the CSS text field would work well.
Thank you!



Amazing! The Best Way to Build Widgets Without Code

<p>This plugin provides a function for use by developers who have their own code for fetching posts according to a given criteria and now want to make use of loop-aware template tags to display those posts.</p>
<p>WordPress’s template tags are intended to be used within ‘the loop’. The loop is managed by a WP_Query object which sets up various global variables and its own object variables for use by the various template tags. The primary purpose of a WP_Query object is to actually query the database for the posts that match the currently specified criteria. However, if you don’t need to query for posts since you already have them by some other means, you can still take advantage of the template tags by injecting those posts into the WP_Query via this plugin.</p>
<p>Depending on the template tags you are looking to use, or the logic you are hoping to employ within a loop, you may need to manually configure some of the query object’s variables.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code><?php // Say we're in the sidebar

// We've gotten some post objects on our own.
$posts = c2c_get_random_posts( 5, '' );

// Inject the posts
c2c_inject_query_posts( $posts );

// Now let's display them via template tags:
if ( have_posts() ) :
    while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

        <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

    <?php endwhile;?>
<?php endif; ?>
</code></pre>

<h3>Developer Documentation</h3>
<p>Developer documentation can be found in <a href="https://github.com/coffee2code/inject-query-posts/blob/master/DEVELOPER-DOCS.md" rel="nofollow ugc">DEVELOPER-DOCS.md</a>. That documentation covers the template tag and hooks provided by the plugin.</p>
<p>As an overview, this is the template tag provided by the plugin:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>c2c_inject_query_posts()</code> : Template tag to inject an array of posts into a query object as if that query object had obtained those posts via a query.</li>
</ul>
<p>These are the hooks provided by the plugin:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>inject_query_posts_preserve_query_obj</code> : Overrides the value of the <code>$preserve_query_obj</code> argument passed to the function. This is not typical usage for most users.</li>
<li><code>c2c_inject_query_posts</code> : Allows use of an alternative approach to safely invoke <code>c2c_inject_query_posts()</code> in such a way that if the plugin were deactivated or deleted, then your calls to the function won’t cause errors in your site.</li>
</ul>


Inject Query Posts

Facilitates injecting an array of posts into a WP query object as if queried. Particularly useful to allow use of standard template tags.
