AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
W4 Post List is a highly rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Post category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 94 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How W4 Post List works
Show full descriptionShow less
W4 Post List builds the lists that WordPress core still can’t: posts grouped under year, month, category or author headings; category and term indexes; user directories; and combined Terms + Posts and Users + Posts lists. You control the output with a template of plain HTML and simple template tags, so the markup stays clean, semantic and completely yours.
Place any list anywhere with the W4 Post List block, the [postlist id="123"] shortcode, or the classic widget.
What can you build?
Year/month archives — posts grouped under date headings
Category, tag or custom taxonomy indexes — with or without each term’s posts listed underneath
Author and user directories — list users by role, with avatars, bios and each user’s posts
Filtered post lists — any post type, filtered by status, taxonomy terms, custom fields, dates, authors, parents and more
Media lists — image and attachment lists by mime type
Five list types
Posts
Terms
Users
Terms + Posts

Include/exclude posts by ID, exclude the current post
Filter by parent, author, taxonomy terms (tax query), custom fields (meta query) and dates (date query)

Full control over the output Output is template-driven: every list has an HTML template with template tags like [post_title], [post_permalink], [featured_image], [post_author_name] and [post_meta key="..."]. Start from a ready-made template — cards, archives, category indexes, user directories — and tweak it, or write your own markup for pixel-perfect control. A live preview in the editor shows your changes before you save. If you want a drag-and-drop visual builder, this plugin isn’t that — it keeps you close to your own HTML, which is exactly why themes and developers like it.
