Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

Overview

About this plugin

Blog-in-Blog allows you to use the WordPress platform for it’s CMS features, but still have a blog page on your site. Posts selected by category, post_type, tag or any combination thereof, can be used to feed the ‘special’ blog page, and can optionally be hidden from the home page.

You can have more than one category hidden from the homepage (not post_types or tags).

You can also use this plugin to show posts on the same page from different categories, post_types or tags, but in several different blocks and using different layout templates.

If you find this plugin useful (especially if it gets you out of a fix in a commercial setting), please feel free to leave feedback via the donate button.

I am grateful for those people who have already bought me a beer 🙂
