Logicrays Recent Post Widget

Logicrays Recent Post Widget is a powerful, lightweight, and versatile plugin designed to display your latest posts anywhere on your WordPress site. It offers three distinct layout options:

1. List Layout: A clean, responsive list with customizable pagination.
2. Slider (Slick): A smooth vertical slider/carousel perfect for sidebar widgets.
3. Swiper Slider: A modern, interactive horizontal touch-carousel with overlay text.

This plugin provides four ways to configure and display your content:

• Admin Settings Page: Centralized control page for defining post display details (title, excerpt, date, author name, thumbnails, autoplay, and speed).
• Sidebar Widget: A traditional WordPress widget with individual layout and post count settings.
• Shortcode Support: Easy integration anywhere using the [lr_recent_posts] shortcode.
• Gutenberg Block (LR Recent Post): Native Block Editor integration with live preview rendering and configuration settings in the right inspector sidebar.
