About this plugin
The “Latest Post Shortcode” helps you display a list or grid of the posts or pages in a page/sidebar, without having to code or know PHP. The output parameters are extremely flexible, allowing you to choose the way your selected content will be displayed. You can embed as many shortcodes in a page as you need, each shortcode configured differently.
The shortcode for displaying the latest posts is [latest-selected-content] and can be generated very easily, the plugin will add a block or a shortcode button in the editor area.
You can write your own “read more” replacement, choose whether to show/hide featured images, you can even sort the items by several options, and paginate the output (also AJAX pagination). This plugin works with any modern theme. 0 + Gutenberg, the plugin shortcode can be configured from the LPS block or any Classic block, using the plugin button.
The plugin can be used with Elementor page builder.

Example of a simple grid with 4 cards (2 per row), filtered by a category (sample term):
[latest-selected-content ver=”2″ limit=”4″ display=”title,content-small” titletag=”h3″ chrlimit=”50″ image=”full” image_placeholder=”auto” elements=”0″ css=”two-columns as-column has-shadow content-center” type=”post” taxonomy=”category” term=”sample” orderby=”dateA”]
