This plugin is exactly what you need if you like to include a list of posts (latest posts, most commented posts, future posts, …) in a page, post or widget very easy! This WordPress plugin provides placeholders for configurable dynamic lists of posts. The placeholders can be used in posts, pages or widgets, and will get replaced to the list of posts. Of course, it is also possible to use the lists directly in your template files. You can define the placeholders yourself and configure the list that should replace it.
You can define multiple placeholders like %MYPLACEHOLDER%. 
For each placeholder you can configure the list that replaces the placeholder if the page/widget/post gets viewed. 
You can decide to list posts of a specific category, author or tag. You can configure how to order them or what status the post has to have for example. Of course you can set the maximum number of posts to display. 
You can configure the html output for before and for after the list, customize the html string for each entry of the list, and set a string to display if there are no posts. 
In these strings you can use placeholders. For example: %count%, %numberposts%, %counter%, %postid%, %posttitle%, %posturl%, %author%, %date%, %time%, %modifieddate%, %modifiedtime%, … (case sensitive!)

Categorize a Page just as you would do with a Post.
This plugin adds the ‘categories’ taxonomy to the Page post type. 
This enables the tags metabox in the New or Edit Page interface. To show tagged 
Pages on a category archive page or in a feed, it uses the ‘pre_get_posts’ hook 
to change the post_type query parameter to ‘post’ AND ‘page’.
The plugin has no settings, does not alter the database and only uses hooks to 
achieve it’s goal. It also should work perfectly fine with Multisite installations.
If this plugin meets your expectations and you use it commercially 
please consider a donation to one of these organisations or your country’s equivalents:
