Installation

Upload the recent-posts-widget-boost folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install the plugin directly through the WordPress plugin screen.
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
Add the “Postrix – Recent Posts Widget” widget from Appearance > Widgets, insert the “Postrix – Recent Posts Widget” block in the block editor, or add the [postrix_recent_posts] shortcode to a post or page.

FAQ

Can I use this with a custom post type?: Yes. Any public post type registered on your site is available in the Post Type dropdown/field.
How do I find category, tag, or author IDs?: Hover over the category/tag/author link in your WordPress admin list screens — the ID appears in the URL (e.g. tag_ID=12 or cat=3).
Does the shortcode support all the same options as the widget?: Yes. All settings are available as shortcode attributes, e.g.:
[postrix_recent_posts number=”3″ show_excerpt=”true” categories=”4″ orderby=”rand”]
