What it does
Elementor sites often need a clean way to list blog posts on a homepage, archive or landing page. This plugin handles that job with two widgets: a Classic layout for standard post listings and a Carousel layout for sliding post displays. Each widget comes with six distinct styles, so you can pick a look that fits your theme and adjust it from the Elementor editor. Because everything works through drag and drop, you can set up a blog section without writing code. Elementor is required.
Beyond the basic layout, you get control over what shows up and how readers move through it. The widgets can pull from custom post types and respect sticky posts, and you can sort by latest, popular, random or recently updated. Pagination can be numeric, classic or a load more button. You can set one to three columns, apply custom colors per addon and add animation effects from a library of over 200. The layouts are responsive and retina ready, and translation files are included for multilingual sites.
Best for
- Bloggers building their site with Elementor
- Business sites adding a news or articles section
- Freelancers designing Elementor blog pages for clients
