    The best multi-post display plugin. Excellent CPT Support, Many Styling

    I have tested about 5 plugins for multiple post display in Grid layout. The most popular plugin did not support Custom Post Types in the starter (free) version thus, it was a non-starter for me. For me, it is an important missing functionality to continue testing. I’d rather test the most important functionality for a plugin and if it is good, I shall definitely pay for the extra options. There were other plugins which supported CPT but they were so primitive in styling options. Advanced Post Block is by far the best. Excellent CPT support right from beginning and lots of control for the styling. I am now building my site and I shall definitely buy the pro when I decide to go operational with my site. I have been testing only the starter (free) version. But the good thing about this plugin is, it has all the functionality displayed in the starter version and the paid ones are just not activated. Thus you can see what you will get with the paid version and there are definitely functionalities you will want to have for an operational site. One important advantage of this plugin is that, it is only for Gutenberg. Thus, it feels native in Gutenberg block editor unlike some other plugins which make you define your grid block etc via their menu item. And I also assume, because of this, it has lighter, cleaner code and optimized for Gutenberg, as the developer does not need to have considerations and the extra code for other stuff like for elementor, bricks etc that I do not need and I do not want to carry unnecessarıly on my sıte. Just to add, maybe the following could be considered as added functionality for the paid version: 1- Having an option to display the ‘Read More’ button at a fixed place, rather than “just after the last info piece” (I think excerpt) which gives an uneven look. 2- A variation of “Overlay Content Hover” subtype which displays also title. 3- Possibility to include excerpts from one or two Custom Fields on the display. It is great that the paid version already supplies taxonomy display and Custom Field display would add value. 4- Possibility to change Layout mode from device to device. Say; specify Grid layout display for the desktop but slider for the phone. 5- Option to specify a “sticker” on the post display with a text, and choices of style and location on the form. 6- Option to display posts in the order based on the value of a numeric custom field or a taxonomy This topic was modified 9 months, 1 week ago by saksaksak.

    Very nice plugin

    I do like the options to change the post preview appearances to suit my site. However, I do wish the speed of the plugin was improved and the price wasn’t so much for the additional extras.

    Amazing

    Absolutely amazing work. I have been trying to make a custom page in wp where all authors are listed and when entering an author page it shows all products belonging to that particular author ( using tags and custom post types ) and this plugin came in handy. Also I made a request to add custom post type support for the plugin and they were really really fast at both responding to the request and updating plugin with this extra feature. Thank you very much!
