Posts By Tag

Author: Sudar

Posts By Tag WordPress Plugin, provides sidebar widgets which can be used to display posts from a specific set of tags in the sidebar.

The Plugin caches the posts of each widget separately, and issues database queries only when needed. This will reduce the amount of database queries involved for each page load and will therefore be light on your server.

Features

Posts By Tag Plugin provides a sidebar widget which can be configured to display posts from a set of tags in the sidebar. You can have multiple widgets with different set of tags configured for each one of them.

Each widget allows you to choose

  • The set of tags whose posts should be displayed
  • The number of posts to be displayed.
  • Option to enable post excerpts to be displayed with post titles.
  • Option to display post thumbnail if present.
  • Choose the order in which the posts should be displayed.

In addition to using the widget, you can also use the following template function to display posts from a set of tags, anywhere in the theme

postsbytag($tags, $num, $excerpt = false, $thumbnail = false, $order = "desc");

  • $tags (string) - set of comma seperated tags
  • $num (number) - number of posts to display
  • $excerpt (bool) - To display post excerpts or not
  • $thumbnail (bool) - To display post thumbnails or not
  • $order (asc,desc) - To change the order in which the posts are displayed.

The pot file is available with the Plugin. If you are willing to do translation for the Plugin, use the pot file to create the .po files for your language and let me know. I will add it to the Plugin after giving credit to you.
