posten-post-blocks

This could have been a perfect alternative to the native Query Block. However, unless I completely missed it, it does not have pagination. Besides that, customizing the post grid is faster and easier with this plugin as oppose to the Query Block. That said, this can be used in News sites, or in pages that displays limited number of different Cpt, Categories etc… Because the pagination functionality is missing (again, unless I'm wrong), this plugin cannot be used as a site's main blog page. That said, the theme's and/or the Query Block can take care of that.
