Most themes for WordPress will come with default sidebars and a few footer areas where you can drop widgets in. If you want to have custom sidebars (widget areas) for instance in content areas of your pages and post, or any other area of your site:

  • Create custom sidebars (widget areas) by using a plugin. It’s fast and easy.
  • Create custom sidebars (widget areas) by little coding – advanced users.
  • Use an advanced theme with more widget areas defined.

Customize front-end outlook

By default the widget looks like all other widgets from the same sidebar you drop it in. It has its own CSS file that overrides the default styles for your list elements. You can use that file to further customize the front-end outlook.

You can also have a custom CSS class for every widget’s instance by entering the class name in the widget’s settings.

How it works

Go to your widgets section. Drag and Drop the widget in the sidebar you want your list to appear. Fill in the form and click save. Here are the options you can choose from:

  • Select post type to list posts from
  • Select multiple taxonomies, categories, tags, authors to list posts from
  • Choose the number of posts to list and where to start listing from
  • Order the list by: author, date created, date modified, post title, id, random
  • Order to display posts: ascending, descending
  • Select fields you want to show: title, author, date, excerpt, number of comments
  • Select excerpt length in words
  • Choose to show image on: first post only, all posts, none
  • Select featured image size you’d like to use: thumbnail, medium, large
  • Further customize the width or height of your images

  • Choose number of columns: 1 column, 2 columns, 3 columns, 4 columns
  • Add a custom class for your widget to be able to style it separately

By filling a simple form this plugin will build an SQL SELECT query, return a result set and build html code based on it. The form controls select expression, where condition, order by expression, limit expression.
No coding is required!

Deciso

Great plugin. Clean and fast code. Nice.

dakodakov

Good job with that plugin ! It gives a lot of flexibility. I think I’m gonna use it in my next project too.

Naweed

I’m using a drag and drop theme which has widgets included and you can practically do anything possible.. it’s amazing!
And lastly, the Smart Post Lists Widget is the best plugin around at the moment. Even the most sophisticated WordPress Theme Frameworks don’t have all the features this plugin has. Like being able to show the title with the thumbnail in different positions.
Good luck with it!
