Description

Query Loop Post Selector is a powerful extension to the native WordPress Query Loop block. With this plugin, users can now have the flexibility to specifically select posts from a dropdown and display them within the query loop, making content selection more intuitive and user-friendly.

Usage

  1. Add or edit a Query Loop block.
  2. From the block settings panel, locate the “post” dropdown.
  3. Select the desired post(s) from the dropdown.
  4. Save or update your post/page, and view the changes on the front end.

Note: When you’re specifically selecting posts using this plugin, the posts order is overriden to match the order of posts selected via the dropdown.

  1. Download the plugin ZIP file.
  2. Go to WordPress Dashboard > Plugins > Add New.
  3. Upload the ZIP file and activate the plugin.
  4. Navigate to any page or post edit screen, and add a Query Loop block. You’ll now see the “post” dropdown option, added by the Query Loop Post Selector plugin.

Do I need any other plugins or tools for this to work?

Does this work with custom post types?

Yes, it’s compatible with all public post types.

Thank you for making this plugin! Simple, effective, does its job well and with clean interface. Solves several different puzzles I've had while building out a resource website for a client.

Perfect

Was looking ages for it. So strange this function is not part of the native loop block.

Thanks

Excellent plugin

You can replace many other freemium post-grip plugins with this one. It gives the feature to default query loop to select a post by title.


Hope this plugin will be around for many more years.
