Mr.Dev. is your provider of developing tools!
He brings you a widget to display your categories and posts from Wordpress with many customizable layouts and options to choose from.
The widget initially comes with the themes ‘None’ and ‘Default’. 'Default' has many layouts to choose from including a custom layout to choose each option. It's also possible to develop new custom themes. This is perfect if you already have a website and want to display your content in a new way, while keeping the look & feel of your current template.
If you need more features then you need to add Mr.Dev.'s Framework:
- Hide widget sections to specific users or roles.
- Insert widgets inside the content section on posts/pages/categories using widget block, classic editor button or shortcodes.
- More content types such as pages, tags and some compatibility with other third-party registered terms/post-types (such as events and products).
- Override the content of each item per widget, without affecting the original content.
- Create and edit custom items directly on the widgets.
- Choose items' parents such as parent categories, categories and tags to only display their childs.
- Manually reorder items.
- Pin to choose the ones starting active.
- Auto exclude Subcategories, Categories with no posts, same link, different link and more.
- More image options such as thumbnails and parallax.
- Choose a fallback image.
- Choose images maximum size together with srcset and native lazyload.
- More options for tabs such as Categories and Tags.
- Other Advanced options such as preload pages, content HTML cache, generate CSS and JS minifying it per widget, choose the titles tag (h2, h3, h4, p, etc), load polyfill on IE and add custom classes to the bottom link.
And more...
Mr.Dev. starts with categories because some content display plugins and CMS do not highlight categories as much as posts/articles. But that could be practical for a better organization, structure, search engine optimization and a better understanding of the front and backoffice from clients and users.
If you need the widget to work properly with Internet Explorer, you'll need to use a polyfill if you are not yet using one. On the full version (Mr.Dev.) you can activate the polyfill from the settings page of the plugin.
