Display Posts – Easy lists, grids, navigation, and more vs Genesis Columns Advanced

Display Posts allows you easily list content from all across your website. Start by adding this shortcode in the content editor to display a list of your most recent posts: [display-posts] Filter by Category To only show posts within a certain category, use the category parameter: [display-posts category="news"] Display as Post Grid You can create a great looking, column-based grid of posts with a bit of styling. Here’s how! List Popular Posts You can highlight your popular content in multiple ways. If you want to feature the posts with the most comments, use: [display-posts orderby="comment_count"] You can also list most popular posts by social shares. Include thumbnails, excerpts, and more The display parameters let you control what information is displayed for each post. To include an image and summary, use: [display-posts include_excerpt="true" image_size="thumbnail"] You can use any image size added by WordPress (thumbnail, medium, medium_large, large) OR any custom image size added by your theme or other plugins. Sort the list however you like By default the listing will list the newest content first, but you can order by title, menu order, relevance, content type, metadata, and more. List upcoming events You can easily list upcoming events from any event calendar. Each plugin will require slightly different code. Here are tutorials for popular event calendar plugins.

Genesis Columns Advanced is nearing the end of its life. The plugin was built for the Classic Editor and is not needed in the block Editor (Gutenberg). Critical support will still be provided in the support forum, but the plugin is no longer being actively developed. Consider transitioning to the native WordPress Columns block. This plugin was originally designed to generate shortcodes for every column configuration available with the column classes provided by the Genesis Framework, hence the name. We are pleased to announce that as of version 2.0, the plugin is completely standalone and does not require Genesis. The plugin now loads its own CSS styles, which can be disabled if you desire. See the FAQ for more details. By moving away from Genesis, we have been able to add new features, such as the inclusion of fifths, and it opens the door to more enhancements in the future! Shortcodes are easily added using a custom button in your WordPress editor. They can also be added manually if you so choose. See the FAQ for more details. Check out the video below for a short demo on the plugin.
