Yes, you have the option to choose Posts or Pages when you choose a custom post type. You can actually just use this widget to display recent posts or pages. ### How do I use the shortcode? Add [custom_post_display] to any post or page. You can pass options, for example: ``` [custom_post_display posttype="product" postnum="5" postlength="20" byorder="name" sorter="ASC" show_image="1" image_pos="left" moretext="Read more"] ``` Available attributes: posttype, postnum, postlength, byorder (empty for date, menu_order, or name), sorter (ASC or DESC), show_image (1 or 0), image_pos (centered, left, right) and moretext. ### Can I choose which posts to feature? Yes, if you have the Page Attributes box enabled for your custom post type (or Post/ Page), when you edit that post, just enter a number in the Order box. Number your posts according to the order you want them to appear, then, in the Widget options, just choose ‘Menu Order’ in the ‘Order By’ field and choose your Sort order. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f6f742e513f80653f575cf82032717b83fee1966d357637b9f6a105a705acdc5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works good](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-good-514/)󠁿 [huntvinyl](https://profiles.wordpress.org/huntvinyl/) 12 de agosto, 2026 Easy way to show custom posts on the site.
