L7 Display Posts

This plugin is very efficient.  Updates object cache when post is saved or updated so user never hits an empty cache.  Great for sites with huge numbers of posts and high traffic.



I use it on my site.

Efficiently show posts by tag or category using a simple shortcode.  Utilizes caching for greater speed and fewer database calls.

Hide Posts

The plugin does exactly do what I was looking for the way I expected it to work without the need to configure anything. Thank you so much! If I wasn't a software developer myself, I'd hire you! And I'd donate, but I couldn't find any hint to the usual suspects ...
