WP Show Posts Pro

Shortcode-based post lists

WP Show Posts Pro adds display settings for post lists built with WP Show Posts. Configure a list in the options area, then place its shortcode on a page or post. Lists can draw from any post type, including WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads, and the extension works with any theme.

Layout, images, and styling

The Pro feature set includes AJAX pagination, masonry layouts, and featured posts. You can set background and border colors, including hover colors, and customize images with an overlay color, overlay icon, hover effect, lightbox, or lightbox gallery.

Style read more links, content links and their hover states, content text, titles and title hover states, and metadata with separate color controls. Social settings are listed for Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and Pinterest, with color and hover-color options. An alignment setting positions available components in the post display.

Post selection and content

List settings let you choose a post type, taxonomy terms, posts per page, columns, column gutter, and pagination. You can set picture dimensions, alignment, and location; display excerpts or full post content; set excerpt length; and choose whether to include titles, author information, dates, and terms, with controls for their locations.

Additional query settings include author IDs, post IDs to exclude, offsets, ordering, status, sticky-post handling, meta keys and values, taxonomy operators, and a no-results message.
