Wordpress plugin to create a shortcode and widget for showing the title, post info, excerpt, and thumbnail for a single post.
As of April 2026, Tekserve Single Post Shortcode is a WordPress link plugin with 10 active installations and a 1/5 rating from 1 reviews. It has been downloaded 1.8K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 3.1+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2013. Last updated 12 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: Custom Post Type Permalinks.
There are plenty of plugins to show lists of posts, but if you only want to display a condensed preview of a post on any wp page, this is the plugin for you! The shortcode accepts the numeric id of any post as an attribute, and will display a preview that links to that post. This preview is generated with easily styled html. To show or hide the featured image for your single post preview, pass the attribute showimage with either hide or show. It’s pretty easy!
For fun, I decided to also build a widget that does the same thing; it’s included and can be used like any other widget. Why not?!
