Ultimate Post List Pro lets you configure WordPress content lists for widget areas, post content, or PHP templates. Use settings to select the content and presentation; widget and shortcode placement do not require template edits or programming. Pro includes the standard Ultimate Post List options and includes controls for layouts, numbered lists, colors, and custom post type filters.

Place lists where they fit

Add a list to a widget area with drag and drop, insert it in post content with a configurable shortcode, or call upl_get_html() from PHP. Choose a vertical list or responsive grid. Multiple widget instances can have their own settings, and you can duplicate a list with one click to start another display with similar settings.

Choose and order the content

Set the number of posts and an offset, hide the currently viewed post, or put sticky posts at the top. Sort by post date, title, or author in ascending or descending order. Standard filters choose Posts or Pages and categories. You can select multiple categories and, where applicable, require a post to match all selected categories. Pro adds filtering for custom post types.

Set each item's details

Show or hide thumbnails, titles, dates, author names, and excerpts, then choose their positions in the list. Set a list title and its URL, select the HTML element for the title, and specify what appears when no posts are available. You can shorten post titles to a maximum length and add ending text.

Thumbnail settings include the picture source, size, dimensions, alignment, margins, text flow, and alternative text. Available sources include featured pictures, images from post content, and author avatars. Excerpt options let you set a maximum length and ending text, and choose whether post excerpts or post content can supply the excerpt.

Configure links and additional results

Choose whether titles, thumbnails, dates, authors, and excerpts are clickable. Date links can point to a month archive, and author links can point to an author's archive. Post links can open in new windows. Set a date format from more than 100 available options.

Enable a “Load more posts” link or button to load further results without leaving the page, and choose its label. The add-on can show an icon while posts load and display text when no further posts are found.

Set up a list

Install and activate Ultimate Post List Pro in WordPress, make a list, and configure its filters, layout, display fields, links, and appearance. Add it as a widget, place its shortcode in post content, or call upl_get_html() from PHP. Pro users receive premium support.
