About this plugin
Quick Ajax Post Loader lets you build fast, filterable post grids in WordPress with an AJAX Load More button or infinite scroll – no page reloads, no coding required.
Display posts, pages, or any custom post type (CPT) in a responsive grid with AJAX taxonomy filtering (categories, tags, custom taxonomies), AJAX search, AJAX sorting, and dynamic pagination. Build your grid in the visual shortcode generator, paste the shortcode anywhere, and you’re done.
Perfect for blogs, news sites, portfolios, directories, and content catalogs.
