Display Posts adds a shortcode that lists posts, pages or other content types anywhere on a site. Results can be filtered by category, taxonomy, author, date and meta value, ordered, paginated and shown with excerpts or images. Output can be changed with WordPress filters. It suits site builders who want custom content lists without writing a query. It is a single free plugin that runs only where the shortcode is used.
