Excelente!
by Sergioot·1 year ago
Está bien el plugin y funciona bien añadiéndolo como Widget, pero no aparece en los Bloques de Gutemberg.
The plugin is fine and works well adding it as a Widget, but it does not appear in the Gutenberg Blocks.

Gorgeous Content Plugin
by metaeditor·5 years ago
Was really surprised how rich this Widget Plugin works.
I used it to showcase FAQ custom posts below on the related Page as Content. Fits perfect.
Just tiny adapten in the Themplate to fit my Theme. Even multiple widgets work on the page.
Little suggestion
-if we could add some css class to the Read More Link on the widget
-Select Tag H1,H2, H3 … for the title
it would make it even better
Thanks a Lot

Excellent
by fev1967·6 years ago
Works perfectly. All I wanted was to list posts from my custom post type in a widget. In the same way that regular posts are listed by default. This plugin does the job. An earlier review says this does not work with the CPT UI plugin. That is not the case, my custom post type was made with CPT UI and it worked fine.
