Description

This plugin adds a widget that allows you to display a list of WordPress pages in a sidebar or widget-ready area. It offers two display modes:

  • Manual Selection: Choose specific pages to display using a paginated selector.
  • Latest Pages: Automatically show the most recently published pages (customizable number).

It is designed for usability and supports both the Classic Widgets interface and the Block-based Widget Editor introduced in WordPress 5.8+.

Features:
* Choose between showing the latest published pages or manually selected ones.
* Paginated page selector in the admin interface for easy manual selection.
* Supports unlimited pages.
* Fully compatible with Block Widgets and Classic Widgets.
