What it does
Many post listing tools only work inside widget areas, which limits where featured content can go. This plugin lets you put post listings wherever you want on a page, so you can build news sections, featured content zones or topic roundups in the spots that make sense for your layout. It works with regular blog posts and with custom post types, which means portfolios, news articles or event listings can be displayed the same way.
You pick from over 31 post blocks, each with its own layout, then set titles, post ordering, filters and display options from the back end. If you use WPBakery Page Builder, you can build and adjust listings with drag and drop and no code. If you do not, the plugin still works on its own. Listings are responsive, so they adapt to different screen sizes, and the markup uses clean, semantic HTML.
Best for
- News portals that need featured story sections
- Bloggers who want more post layout options
- Magazine-style sites built with WPBakery Page Builder

WPBakery drag and drop

Display regular posts or any custom post type, such as portfolios, news articles or event listings, using the same set of blocks.
Back-end listing controls
Configure listing titles, post ordering, filters and display options from the back end to control which posts appear and how they are arranged.
