<p>Flex Posts is a widget to display posts in various different layouts. It is useful for a news site where you need to display a lot of posts in a page.</p>
<p>The widget is responsive so you can place it in any widget area. The widget content will adapt based on the width of its container. In a narrow area like standard sidebar, posts will be displayed vertically, but in a wider area, posts will be displayed in 2 or 3 columns depends on the container’s width.</p>

Flex Posts – Widget and Gutenberg Block

I think this plugin has a lot of potential. I am using it in all of my sites. For me there are a few things holding this plugin from being perfect:

- If we could have the option of selecting a few categories on the query instead of having wether all categories or just one, that would be much appreciated.

- The Layout #3 doesn't fill the whole width of its container, like the others do. Can you please fix this. Thanks!

Hands down the most professional post layout block you'll ever find

A widget to display posts with thumbnails in various layouts. Fits nicely in any widget area size.
