Overview

Get Post is a versatile WordPress plugin designed to dynamically retrieve and display the most recent posts based on a specific set of parameters defined by the user. By incorporating a simple [get-post] shortcode within any post or page, users can easily showcase posts tagged with a particular value, choose to display posts from a specific category, specify the number of posts to show, select random posts, and even customize the display using templates. This level of control allows users to tailor the content presentation to fit seamlessly with their website's theme. The plugin also supports parameters for advanced customization, including tag slugs, categories, post counts, and HTML templates, making it a powerful tool for enhancing content visibility on a WordPress site.
