Blog posts columns in pages
1 reply · Started by Mila on July 6, 2018
Hi guys,
Could you help with the following:
I would like to display previews of certain blog posts on selected pages.
I use Sections.
I really like the columns layout of the blog page - the headers, author and first line of content are aligned against each other, so looks really neat. I would like to reproduce that within a section.
How can I do it two ways:
1. Display most recent blog post previews in a category (or with a tag) within a page section (let's say, most recent posts within 'client' category in 2 neat rows and 3 columns)?
2. Manually paste certain blog post previews into a page section (same - 2 rows, 3 columns for example)? For this manual option ideally my goal is this: https://www.priorilegal.com/blog as a section within a page. See how there are two calls to action among the blog posts (blue squares with text)?
Many thanks!
Hi there,
I can highly recommend this other Plugin by Tom, which allows you to create different post lists and display them anywhere using shortcodes. Which is perfect for what you need:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-show-posts/
There is also a premium version which adds some additional functionality, but the free version is more than adequate for what you need:
The second part, inserting a Call To Action or other content is do-able with the WP Show Posts plugin but would require some Custom code to achieve it. Ill have a look to see if we have anything to hand.
