Update – 12/12/2024 The latest version comes with a whole lot of things I don’t need such as a host of design blocks, custom fonts, templates, cookies, image size, amongst other things. I just want a simple plugin that does post slider really really well and not one bloated with too many tools I either don’t need or already got other plugins for the job. However, I still like the post slider block. It’s good. – Update: I’m starting to notice those huge banner ads upselling your commercial version making visual pollution in the admin area. Understood that you should get the fruit of our labor. Annoying banner ads is not the way to do it. I’ve bought many commercial plugins without being blasted by their ads. Sorry, one star is taken off for this. – PostX is the posts block daddy of them all. I love Gutenberg blocks that focus in one area, in this case posts displaying, and do it really well. The setting options for query, layout, and styling are plenty and powerful. And everything works well out of the box. One reviewer comments that the plugin lacks critical flexibility. Really? What more do you want for free? One thing I wish possible is the ability to display post tags. Right now only displaying post categories is possible. Thank you for the good work, PostX.

It replaces many other plugins which are really a hassle. It works like a swiss knife and their support system is faster than I expected
