Great one

Very good plugin, simple and complete. It just gets the job done.

It has potential

Jakub September 4, 2023

The plugin has a lot of settings, really a lot. But I can’t make it work just to render a simple list of posts (without any filters or advanced settings). Seems broken a bit. But it has potential to be a great plugin.

This Needs Renamed

Airtrooper June 18, 2023

I’ve been searching high and low for a Knowledge Base category List plugin for several months, there are sooo many legacy, abandoned and over complicated ones out there. This is actually really easy to use and has lots of potential. I’m also using as a Table of Contents… should be renamed to suit its versatility. Well done, great plugin!

w4 post list is a genial plugin

Tikolan March 14, 2023

its genial to use data from WordPress (post, Tax, User) to publish as list, blocks, grids, and any other ideas.

Perfect, thanks

Shazzad, thank you for writing this awesome plugin. It was exactly what I needed to create a custom post listing – especially with the avatar support. The ability to influence every part and position of every component and part of an archive post listing was quite simply revelatroy. This is the only plugin that I have found after hours of searching that does this – nothing else even came close! Thank you again – if I could give it more than 5 stars I would.
