Flexible layouts for news and blog content
Blog Designer Pack Premium and Blog Designer Pack PRO are paid editions of a WordPress plugin for presenting posts in varied news, magazine, and blog layouts. They are designed for websites that need more control over how articles are arranged than a standard theme layout provides. Use the plugin to build post grids, sliders, carousels, lists, masonry sections, grid boxes, tickers, timelines, and vertical scrolling displays.
The plugin can support many types of publishing projects, including news magazines, review websites, personal blogs, travel blogs, fashion blogs, viral news sites, food reviews, and recipe blogs. Multiple layouts can be created for different areas of the same website, helping you present featured content, recent posts, categories, or other editorial groups in a suitable format.
Paid capabilities
The paid editions add more designs and options, with the PRO feature set listing more than 90 news and blog designs. Premium functionality includes filtering posts by categories or tags, creating layouts for custom post types, and working with custom taxonomies and custom tags. You can also set custom links for blog or news posts when needed.
- Post grid, list, masonry, slider, carousel, grid box, and ticker layouts
- Timeline displays for arranging posts in a chronological presentation
- Category grid and category slider views
- Featured post and trending post functionality
- Multiple post type functionality
- Five types of pagination, including Load More, Prev–Next, and Ajax-based options
- Infinite scroll pagination
Filtering can be used to organize content by categories or tags. Category grid and category slider layouts provide additional ways to direct visitors toward topic-based content. Featured and trending post functions can help give selected articles a more prominent position within a page.
Shortcodes and widgets
Blog Designer Pack includes shortcodes for grid, list, masonry, slider, carousel, grid box, and ticker presentations. Common shortcode parameters can control the number of posts, category selection, design choice, author visibility, and category visibility. The ticker shortcode also supports settings such as autoplay, speed, font style, and horizontal or vertical slide effects.
The plugin also provides widgets for latest posts and post vertical scrolling. These options are useful when you want to place regularly updated content in a widget area rather than inside the main page content.
Practical workflow
Choose the type of content you want to display, select a layout or shortcode, and adjust its available parameters. You can create separate sections for categories, featured posts, trending posts, or custom post types. Use pagination, Load More, or infinite scroll when a page contains a larger collection of posts.
Installation
Install the paid edition in WordPress, activate it, and add the supplied shortcode to the page or post where the layout should appear. Configure the shortcode parameters for the selected design, content source, filtering, and display settings. The plugin is described as working with WordPress themes, although styling changes may be needed for theme compatibility.
