Use the simple widget settings to feature hand-picked posts and pages, show latest posts from specific categories, and link to WooCommerce store products across as many widgets as you'd like.
The design of this widget adapts to the position you set it to in the widget settings. The layout narrows down into a simple list when featured in the sidebar, and expands to a wider grid format when set above or below nodes.
A simple byline will appear under blog posts with pertinent details about the post right from the widget. When showing WooCommerce products, the byline will be replaced with the product price.
Add a short description text to each post by filling in the "Excerpt" field from the post's Edit post screen. The post's featured image thumbnail will also appear stacked into each entry in the widget's list.
Use simple widget settings to limit the number of entries per widget, link back to your WP blog, and set custom post and category IDs to tailor each widget to its rightful place throughout your forum.
Bonus: Integrate your WordPress and XenForo websites even closer with the XFtoWP integration plugin*.
