The URI are different when you’re admin or just subscriber. Don’t work for everyone.

I can Select a Taxonomy as shown in the plugin screenshot, “Tags” for instance, but there is no Select Terms box. Without a way to select which tags, this plugin is useless. I suspect it needs to be updated.
How so many non-functioning never-updated plugins are allowed to remain listed for all time at WordPress… So frustrating.

Imagine, you have a post about wedding and in the footer the flexible post widget shows – when the crawler passes – in the category “practical tipps” the post “public toilets”. When you search “public toilets in the city x” as result the search engine will give out the post of the wedding.
Probably it would be necessary to noindex the output of the widget. I and others evidenced the problem to support but no answer. I’m actually looking for an alternative as this behaviour of the widget is not acceptable.

It works properly, but it lacks a nice visual design and above all, for what it is, it’s not understandable how come it doesn’t display the date of publishing of the posts.

Easily the best plugin of its kind.
Thanks to the author for his amazing work!
One small suggestion: provide the ability to not display current post in widget.

This has got to be the most useful plugin of its kind.

In the widget is possible to skip posts, making it perfect for filling your sidebar with older posts: great function for a news blog!

Thank you for this great plugin! And thank you for including the explanation for how to easily find a post ID so I didn’t have to look it up!
The only thing I would like to make this plugin perfect is the ability to adjust the thumbnail image size without having to touch My theme’s CSS (hint, hint! ~wink).
Thank you again! Very simple to use and I love that it really is flexible!

I tried a few other favorite posts widgets before finding this one. I like how this one displays thumbnails without distorting the image, and how the post title is neatly displayed under it. My only wish would be for a tiled display to show 2 columns of thumbnails, but I’m not sure that’s possible. This highly customizable widget is wonderful! I love how you can tell it which posts to include instead of other widgets which only allow for recent posts, or most commented on posts, etc. This lets me share with my readers my top favorite projects. Thank you!

Just what I have been looking for, a plugin that takes care of the data while facilitating the the means to style the output, and on top of that it is very well coded.
Good work, congratulations!
Thank you!

Hard to search long and hard for something that could do what I needed. This plugin provides. It cannot do everything, but it does really a lot – and it does it very well.

I’ve used a number of these query posts plugins over the years, and I like this one the best. Written with developers in mind, it foregoes front-end styling (read: clutter) in favor of fine-tuned customization. The plugin controls the data, and I control the appearance… exactly what I want.
The widget itself is intuitive, but it’s even more impressive behind the scenes. The plugin has clean code that follows best-practices, and I was pleasantly surprised to find a number of filters that I could use to tailor my setup to my needs.
I suppose this plugin could provide fields for a few more wp_query arguments, but for now, I can overcome those limitations with the templating system or the dpe_fpw_args filter (which alters the query).

Great time saver. Very useful plugin.

Takes into consideration all custom post types, taxonomies and everything, one of the few if not the only one who does it and works correctly.
Overall well done.

Awesome little gem the Flexible Posts Widget is. It should replace what’s currently in core as that is just not very useful at all.
Flexible this plugin is for sure and if that is not enough to your liking then you can simply control the output yourself by adding one or more widgets to your theme.
Added to my favourites and will be using this a lot from now on!
Thanks for developing it!

Hi, first of all this plugin is very useful, i just used it in one of my client website but having little issue, this plugin cannot be called with short code, if you can add this feature then this plugin will be awasome.
Thanks

This is a very useful, very flexible plugin. It handles both custom post types and custom taxonomies as cleanly and easily as standard post types and taxonomies. It’s also very customizable, allowing you to specify your own templates for the widget display (very useful!) and the back-end admin display. I’ve dug into the code and the code is very clean and professionally written. This could be a poster child for how to write a WordPress plugin. Nice job!
My only issue with this plugin is that it only allows you to select terms in a single taxonomy, e.g. either categories or tags but not both. The reason I dug into the code is that I needed to specify both categories and tags badly enough that I modified the code to allow that. I’ve submitted a pull request on github in the hopes that the author will incorporate this change into a future version of the plugin. But if you don’t need to filter on more than one taxonomy, this plugin should work great for you as is.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLUGINS

I’ve looked into many plugins to pull content for my custom front pages, this one was the best i’ve found for that goal.
One issue i’ve bumped into recently though, I can’t filter out the active lang when using WordPress with multiple front-end languages, such as Polylang.
Hoping the author can do something about it soon.
Thanks for the excellent tool. Cheers.

So you want to show a list of posts, but nothing really works as YOU want it to?
You want to be able to choose exactly what posts/custom types/pages/taxonomies/id’s to show?
You want to have your own design for it, or maybe different designs for a sidebar, a custom front-page post-feed, a slider….
Then this is for you.
You can wring it, hang it out to dry, throw rocks at it, sweet-talk it and it does exactly what you want.
The only drawback is that to get the most out of it you need to be a dev or bribe a dev to fix the templates for it.
For me, since I am a dev, that is no drawback at all – mileage may vary.
If this is ever becoming abandonware, I’d have to build it all over again myself.
A strong endorsement, I know, but this plugin is truly a problem solver.

I really like the option that I can select manually which posts I want to display, instead of just showing most popular, etc.

Thank you for a wonderful plugin. I created my own template to smooth out some Google structured data error messages thrown up from using post_class() but they don’t impact anything anyway I don’t think. Thank you again.
