Smart Post Pro is the paid edition of Smart Post for creating post grids and carousels in WordPress. Choose a layout and configure each display’s content and settings without coding. The layouts work on mobile and touch devices and suit blogs, magazines, news websites, portfolios, business websites, and other content-focused sites.

Choose which content appears

For each grid or carousel, choose posts or pages by post type, post or page ID, taxonomy, category, tag, post format, author, keyword, or status. You can then sort the results by ID, title, date, or modified date. These choices let you prepare a display for recent news, an author archive, a category page, or a selected group of articles.

Place the display where readers need it

Once you configure a layout, Smart Post provides a shortcode for that display. Add it to a post, page, widget, or another suitable area of your WordPress website. For template placement, use the available PHP function in a template or PHP file, such as a homepage or header template.

Give each layout its own settings

You can make multiple carousels and grids, with separate layouts, content selections, filters, and sort orders for each. Use various displays for featured articles, recent posts, selected categories, author content, or other editorial sections. Existing Post Carousel or Grid content continues to work when you move to the premium version; additional functions are available in Pro.

Compatibility and language support

Smart Post works with WordPress themes that follow WordPress standards. It is translation-ready and compatible with WPML, Polylang, Loco Translate, qTranslate-x, GTranslate, Google Language Translator, and WPGlobus.

Configure and publish

1. Create a carousel or grid and select its layout.
2. Choose the content filters and sorting options.
3. Copy the generated shortcode into the desired website location, or use the PHP function for template placement.
