Nifty plugin allowed me to create a very smart, very attractive index with thumbnails
of each article’s featured image. Keep on keepin’ on …

TL;DR It doesn’t work with the current (as of 09-20-2023) version of WordPress- 
doesn’t show up in the editor! Luckily, the ‘Blog’ block of the free plugin ‘Premium
Addons for Elementor’ functions very similarly! I am however rating WPSP as 5 stars
because of how awesome it’s been up until recently :). So if you don’t plan to update
yet, it’s still good.We’ve been using it on our main site to make editing content
easier on my friend, who gets overwhelmed by the Page editor. I wrote all the Page
paragraphs as Posts, then used WP Show Posts to insert them onto the Pages. That
way editing a post will auto-update its page.But now, we cannot update Wordpress
or risk breaking the entire site! It will be a task to switch to another plugin 
but luckily the ‘Blog’ block of that other plugin seems to do what WP Show Posts
was doing, while remaining in the Page editor.

 [edoras](https://profiles.wordpress.org/edoras/) 12 сар 29, 2022

The 1st plugin I found, which can show complete posts include images in widget. 
Really good job. Just one thing is missing to me … to show random posts.

I installed it on the current version of Wordpress since I started using generatepress
now. It seemed like an ideal option, until after making half a website I realised
that my menu stopped working. I don’t understand why they don’t update this plugin,
if it’s great.
