However could use improvement. Total agree with the review « Almost perfect ». I’m using on very large websites and the bigger problem for me is unable to Exclude certain categories from showing, i’m just nit picking. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9951b8075158948825743d44f46c7108908b0e75a779b553705a51d770dcac91? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Practical and effective](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/practical-and-effective-2/)󠁿 [SomniumLucidus](https://profiles.wordpress.org/somniumlucidus/) avril 17, 2024 Does what it’s meant to do, and does it well. No fuss, no fluff, and good support to boot! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d9771bc18cd2dc9f943285b8991604b9daa4e9c946c102fe5588c3c25ac52295? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very Easy to Use](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-easy-to-use-679/)󠁿 [UncleMorty](https://profiles.wordpress.org/unclemorty/) novembre 3, 2022 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. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/bd43b1a462b1ef55b1fde36672af1e671a8ba6c3146b57ebf4681ac21b704fa9? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[WordPress needs more plugins that display posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-needs-more-plugins-that-display-posts/)󠁿 [consumerista](https://profiles.wordpress.org/consumerista/) avril 25, 2022 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 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fbb4301cf05de13ec063bf62a7854d40a6bade2aaf08085d72890bb5f333d295? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-9187/)󠁿 [wowthemesnet](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wowthemesnet/) mars 21, 2022 Excellent plugin, congratulations. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/aecbe9e89f357d9eeaf00958ddf9a9997d9631b58faf2556a9dd94ef5bdfe1b0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[great plugin & fantastic support!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-fantastic-support-116/)󠁿 [philfil](https://profiles.wordpress.org/philfil/) décembre 1, 2021 great plugin & fantastic support!
