Choose taxonomy terms, posts per page, columns and column gutter. Image settings include dimensions, alignment and placement. For post content, select excerpts or full posts, set the excerpt length, and control whether titles, read more text, author details, dates and terms appear and where they sit.
Query controls include author IDs, post IDs, excluding the current or selected posts, sticky-post handling, offsets, ordering, status, meta keys and values, taxonomy operators, and a message for empty results.
Pro layout and styling
Pro includes AJAX pagination, which loads additional results without relying only on standard pagination, along with masonry layouts and featured posts. Appearance controls cover background and hover colors, border and border hover colors, picture overlay color and icon, image hover effects, image lightboxes and lightbox galleries.
Further controls set the read more style and color, content link and hover colors, content text color, title and title hover colors, and metadata and metadata hover colors. Social display options cover Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and Pinterest, with color and hover-color settings. An alignment option positions available elements in the post display.
