Introduction
Flexi Recent Posts is a free WordPress plugin developed to display latest or recent posts anywhere in a flexible manner using shortcodes that comes with a number of attributes that can be selected to display post elements.
You can customise how posts are displayed using attributes. Posts elements that you can customise using attributes are: post title, post date, post category, tag, author, excerpt, dan featured image.
You can also set the style for each parameter via the included CSS file or via additional CSS in the customizer. It’s up to you.
Flexi Recent Posts was initially developed for personal use and was later decided to be shared with all WordPress users as an option. You can use it freely, and it will remain that way. There is absolutely no intention to commercialise it as a paid plugin.
However, if you insist on donating to me and this plugin, then perhaps, just perhaps, I would feel guilty if I refused. But I don’t yet have an easy and practical way to do so. I have to ask my wife first. Any suggestions? 😁
Flexi Recent Posts: Installation and Usage
As Flexi Recent Posts is not yet available on the WordPress plugin repository, installation is carried out by uploading the plugin via the menu:
Plugin » Add Plugin » Upload Plugin
After installation, activate the plugin, then Flexi Recent Posts can be used anywhere (posts, pages, etc.) as long as you can place the shortcode. The shortcode used is:
[flexiposts]Flexi Recent Posts: Shortcode Attribute
Along with the short code used to display the latest posts, several attributes can be added to make customisation, as follows:
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| title | 0 = Disable post title |
| cat | 0 = Disable post category |
| tag | 0 = Disable post tag |
| date | 0 = Disable post date |
| author | 0 = Disable post author |
| authorlink | 0 – Disable author link |
| image | 0 = Disable featured image |
| imagesize | Number – Featured image width |
| excerpt | 0 = Disable post excerpt |
| number | Number – Number of post |
| mode | 1, 2, or 3 (Display mode) |
| limit | Number – excerpt character limit |
| more | 1 = Enable read more link |
| Atribut | Nilai |
If the element you want to display using a shortcode already matches the default value of that attribute, you can omit the attribute in the shortcode. However, if you still want to use the attribute to ensure the element is displayed, that’s fine.
