Post Types List Widget
A WordPress Widget to display a list of posts by post types with custom options.
Presentation
This widget can be place in your sidebar to display a list of posts by post types. It allows you to choose:
- between the default post types and your custom post types
- if all posts must be displayed or if you prefer to set a number of posts
- a sorting method (publication date, title, random...) and a sorting order
- an additional sorting method (optional)
- which data to display (dates, excerpt...)
If you have sticky posts, you may want checked "Ignore sticky post" to prevent them to appear at the top of the list.
Although the name of the widget is not very explicit, it allows you to build custom queries through WP_Query but all arguments are not available. At first, the idea was to list all posts for custom post types a little like the Categories widget. Then, I decide to add more options to make the widget more reusable.
