Display Post Types – Post Grid, post list and post sliders

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 44% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

At the current install trend, crossing 8K+ in roughly 124 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Reviewers say it's stable and easy to set up, with requests for better mobile grid behaviour and a fix for shortcodes overwriting each other.

   The functionality is very stable and excellent.However, I’d like to see the shortcodes I’ve created available in a list format, in addition to the combo box selection method. Furthermore, it would be incredibly convenient if it were possible to duplicate and then edit existing shortcodes.

   It is great that it supports Custom Post Types. The layout options are limited. When I chose grid, it seemed to show limited responsiveness when screen size was brought to mobile size. It only made the screen smaller to fit the screen but for example, it did not change the way the grid is displayed (like one post per row etc). In any case, this is a good plugin and maybe in future I shall use it if it is developed further. This topic was modified 8 months, 1 week ago by saksaksak.

   I use it on my websites and it works very well.Just has a small issue at the time of creating a new shortcode, which it over-write the current shortcode. so I after creating a shortcode, instead of pressing the button to create a new shortcode, you need to open shortcode page in a new tab. Except this small issue, its a very useful plugin

   Should leave the tag as Input instead of the selected taxonomy term

   This very simple plugin lets you add lists of posts to any post (or any widget area, but that was not my use case) with a simple, easy to use UI. It allowed me to select the exact post type, taxonomy query, sorting criteria I needed without a sweat. It even offers some really convenient layouts out of the box. What more could I ask for? Thumbs up guys, keep up with the excellent work!
