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.

Overview

About this plugin

Postlane adds a powerful Gutenberg block that lets you display your WordPress posts anywhere on your site — in a clean list or a responsive grid. You control the layout, the content, and even the order of posts using a simple drag-and-drop interface right inside the editor.

Whether you’re building a blog homepage, a news section, or a portfolio, Postlane gives you everything you need without writing a single line of code.

  • Grid and List Layouts — Choose between list view or grid view with 2, 3, or 4 columns
  • Drag & Drop Reordering — Reorder posts visually in the editor; custom order is saved and shown on the frontend
  • Category Filtering — Show posts from a specific category or display all posts
  • Post Count Control — Display anywhere from 1 to 20 posts
  • Sort Options — Order posts by date, title, or randomly

How It Works

After activating the plugin, open any post or page in the block editor. Search for “Postlane” in the block inserter and add it to your content. Use the sidebar settings panel to configure the layout, filters, and display options.

Optionally drag and drop posts in the editor preview to set a custom display order. Save and publish — your post feed is live.
