<p>This widget dynamically creates a list of posts from the active category. Displaying the first image and title in a scrolling list. It will display the first image in your post as a thumbnail,it looks first for an attached image, then an embedded image then if it finds the image, it grabs the thumbnail version. Oh, and by the way, it’s an animated vertical scroller, way cool.<br />
If the post has no image the widget uses a default image. This works best with the plugin Widget logic. Just set the widget to is_single() || is_category() and all your single viewed posts will have a scrolling thumbnail list of other posts in this category.</p>

<h3>USAGE</h3>
<p>If you are not sure how this plugin works you may want to read the following.</p>
<ul>
<li>First ensure that you have uploaded all of the plugin files into wp-content/plugins/superslider-postsincat folder.</li>
<li>Go to your WordPress admin panel and stop in to the widgets control page. Activate the SS Posts in Cat widget.</li>
<li>Configure the widget.</li>
<li>Go view a single post on the front side, you should see the superslider-postsincat widget in your side bar.</li>
<li>Optional: move the file postincat.css to your theme folder and the images inside of superslider-postincat/css/images to yourtheme/images, select “Load css from your theme folder” in the widget options panel. This will preserve any modifications you make to the css or image files, if and when there is a plugin update.</li>
<li>Recommended : The css is set up for thumbnails of 150 x 150 pixels, to display 3 images at a time with the default css set the widget height to 552. If you have your thumbnail sizes set differently in the WordPress admin, then you will need to adjust the css and the widget height accordingly.</li>
</ul>

Counting Number Block


This is exactly the way, I believe, plugin developers should be embracing blocks. Do one thing, and do it well. Make it feel native, don't go overboard with options ("decisions not options"), and keep it light. Excellent stuff.


Does one thing, and does it well


After testing a few different number counter block plugins, I found this one and haven't looked back. 



It does exactly what is say on the tin, but also doesn't over complicate things with trying to do everything and just sticks to being a great plugin.



Highly recommend. If I could give 6*'s, I would!


Really great number counter

This block provides an animated counter effect for numbers. It’s fast, lightweight, SEO-friendly, accessibility-ready, and fits any design.
