Create engaging post displays
Smart Post Pro is a paid edition of Smart Post for building post carousels and grids in WordPress. It is designed for blogs, magazines, news portals, portfolios, business websites, and other content-driven sites that need flexible ways to present posts and pages.
The plugin is intended for visual content layouts without requiring coding skills. You can create a carousel or grid, choose a layout, adjust the available settings, and place the resulting display where it is needed. The plugin is responsive and works on mobile and touch devices.
Choose and filter content
When creating a post carousel or grid, you can select the content to display and refine it with multiple filters. Supported options include post type, post or page ID, taxonomy, categories, tags, post formats, author, keyword, and status.
You can also choose the sort order. Available sorting options include ID, title, date, and modified date. These controls help organize displays for different parts of a site, such as a latest-news section, an author archive, a category page, or a selected group of articles.
Place displays throughout your site
After configuring a carousel or grid, Smart Post provides a generated shortcode that can be pasted where the display should appear. You can use post carousels and grids inside posts, pages, widgets, and other areas of a WordPress website.
The plugin also supports placement through a PHP function, including use in templates and PHP files such as a homepage or header template. This gives you options for both editor-based placement and template-based implementation.
Manage multiple layouts
You can create unlimited post carousels or grids with separate settings. Each display can have its own layout, filters, content selection, and sorting preferences. This makes it possible to use different presentations for featured content, recent posts, selected categories, author content, or other editorial sections.
Existing Post Carousel or Grid content continues to work when moving to the premium version, so previously created displays are available after the upgrade. Additional features are available in the Pro edition.
Useful for varied websites
Smart Post can support many content-focused projects, including personal blogs, news and magazine sites, portfolio websites, sports and technology news sites, gaming websites, travel blogs, fashion blogs, food and recipe sites, and lifestyle websites. Its post-focused layouts help organize content into visual sections without requiring custom development.
The plugin works with WordPress themes that follow WordPress standards. It is also translation-ready and compatible with WPML, Polylang, Loco Translate, qTranslate-x, GTranslate, Google Language Translator, and WPGlobus.
Installation and workflow
Install Smart Post in WordPress, create a carousel or grid, select its layout, and configure the content filters and sorting options. Copy the generated shortcode into a post, page, widget, or another suitable location. For template-based placement, use the available PHP function.
