Posts Grid

Posts Grid Lightweight, Customizer-configurable WordPress posts grid with duplicate prevention. Built to replace WordPress.com's proprietary a8c/blog-posts blocks for sites migrating to self-hosted WordPress. The Problem WordPress.com uses proprietary Gutenberg blocks (wp:a8c/blog-posts) that don't work on self-hosted WordPress. When you migrate a site from WordPress.com to self-hosted WordPress (Pressable, WP Engine, or any other host), these blocks render as empty content. Existing post grid plugins don't offer the key feature that WordPress.com's blocks had: duplicate prevention across multiple blocks on the same page. The Solution Posts Grid is a single-file plugin that: - Tracks displayed posts across all shortcode instances on a page - Automatically excludes already-displayed posts from subsequent grids - Provides full WordPress Customizer integration for styling - Works as a regular plugin OR as an mu-plugin Features - Duplicate Prevention - Each post only appears once per page, even with multiple grids - Category Filtering - Include or exclude specific categories - Post Pinning - Pin specific posts to always appear, in your order - Full Customizer Integration - 18
