Postrix lets you display a filtered list of recent posts anywhere on your site: in a sidebar widget, as a Gutenberg block, or via shortcode.
Filters
- Post Type — posts, pages, or any public custom post type
- Category — include or exclude by category ID
- Tag — include or exclude by tag ID
- Author — include or exclude by author ID
- Order by date, random, or menu order
Display options
- Number of posts and offset
- Show/hide thumbnail, date, author, excerpt
- Prioritize sticky posts
- Automatically exclude the current post when viewing it
Three ways to use it
- Classic widget (Appearance > Widgets)
- Gutenberg block (“Postrix – Recent Posts Widget” in the block inserter, under Widgets)
- Shortcode:
[postrix_recent_posts number="5" post_type="post" categories="3,12"]
