Query Posts Widget: WordPress Plugin

The Query Posts WordPress widget is finally here. I figured after I’ve let you all beta test this thing for over a month, it was about time.

This widget has everything you’ll ever need to show posts on your site without touching code. It’s like having a WordPress developer ready to do your bidding all wrapped up in a widget. All you need is a theme that’s widgetized, which I believe is pretty standard these days.

What does the Query Posts widget do?

It lets you displays posts by nearly any criteria you can imagine using the query_posts() function, except you don’t need to know anything about PHP to use it. You can do all kinds of neat things:

  • Posts by tag.
  • Posts by category.
  • Posts by author.
  • Posts by time/date.
  • Posts by custom field key and/or value.
  • Choose any number.
  • Order by various terms.
  • Show pages.
  • Show the full post, excerpt, or even order them in a list.
  • And much more...

Nearly 40 options are available in this widget, which you can use any number of times. Just check out the screenshot:
