Create a shortcode to link to your latest WordPress post anywhere on your site.
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 →
WP PlugIndex currently records Latest Post Link Shortcode version 2.3 as active, updated 1y ago and tested up to WordPress 6.8.
This plugin creates a shortcode for you to turn your last WordPress post into a link. You can add this shortcode to your any link field or URL field in the post editor.
Simply use shortcode [latestposturl] in your post editor to link to the latest post on your blog/website. This shortcode works on popular post editors like the Classic Editor, Gutenberg Editor as well as third-party page builders like Elementor and Visual Composer.
Not yet marked as tested with WordPress 7.1. WordPress.org currently lists Tested up to 6.8.
“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
No tracked version or compatibility changes have been recorded by WP PlugIndex yet.
WP PlugIndex tracks public WordPress.org directory metadata and records selected version, compatibility and availability changes as they are detected.
