Overview
Flex Posts is a versatile WordPress plugin designed to showcase posts in a variety of layouts, making it an ideal tool for news websites that need to display multiple posts on a single page. This responsive widget adapts its layout based on the container's width, displaying posts vertically in narrow areas like sidebars and in columns within wider spaces. Users can customize the widget settings extensively, choosing from various layouts, post types, categories, and tags, and controlling the display of images, titles, authors, dates, excerpts, and more. Additionally, the plugin includes a Gutenberg block for easy integration into post and page content using the WP 5.0 block editor. Flex Posts is compatible with PHP 5.3 and above, with a recommendation to use the latest PHP versions for enhanced security and performance.

Does what it’s meant to do, and does it well. No fuss, no fluff, and good support to boot!

I’ve been using this for over a year now and like it a lot but there are 2 major problems. The first is you just have to scroll through a huge list of categories to find stuff. At first this is okay but as your site gets bigger and bigger it gets difficult to find stuff. I wish it had a search box above the list. Japanese lists are not sorted in the standard あいうえお order and that is also why this needs a search box. The other problem is you can’t select multiple categories to show the right posts if something is in two categories. It would be great if we could use the control key and select multiple items on the list like in other plugins.

I wanted a widget that would display a single post; one of my choice. This simple plugin isn’t really intended to do that, but it’s very easy to use and friendly. The plugin allows you to query a keyword, so I just added a unique keyword to my post, and specified that word in the plugin’s config, and set the number of posts to display to 1, simple! And I like the way it looks so much, I’ll be using the plugin after I’m done with the single post I wanted it for.

Haven’t got to use it extensively yet but there’s a real need for plugins like this. Display recent posts block in core is really bad and not the easiest to customize with CSS.
Keep up the good work
