<p>List the most recent posts with post titles, thumbnails, excerpts, authors, categories, dates and more!</p>
<p>Although the plugin is built only for widget areas users reported that it <strong>works in Elementor</strong> and <strong>works in Oxygen</strong>. Whether it runs in other page builders is unknown. Please let me know in which <strong>page builder</strong> you were able to use the plugin successfully.</p>
<p>The plugin does not collect any personal data, so it is <strong>ready for EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance</strong>.</p>
<h4>Lightweight, simple and effective</h4>
<p>No huge widget with hundreds of options. This plugin is based on the well-known WordPress default widget ‘Recent Posts’ and extended to display more information about the posts like e.g. thumbnails, excerpts and assigned categories. And it provides more options to build custom-taylored posts lists.</p>
<p>The thumbnails will be built from the featured image of a post or of the first image in the post content. If there is neither a featured image nor a content image then you can define a default thumbnail.</p>
<p>You can set the width and height of the thumbnails in the list. The thumbnails appear left-aligned to the post titles in left-to-right languages. In right-to-left languages they appear right-aligned.</p>
