For Example,Now I have 3 Categories Like Food,Transport,Technology.Under These Categories I have Many Posts.Now I Want To Show the Latest Post From Each Category.{How to get Recent Post From Each Category with Thumbnail?}Is This is Possible?
I Think No Plugin for This One.If You have a Great Knowledge in Plugin Creation, this is the Greatest Challenge for you.Just try to Found New Things and Become a Great Founder.
My Question is Not Clear Means Ask Me or Edit ...
Thanks All...
I'm the developer of the List Category Posts WordPress plugin. The plugin uses a short code to get posts from a category and you can include thumbnails too.
Give it a try and hopefully you'll find it useful.
I Got Half Part of the code.Yes...Here it is...This Code Show's The Recent Post from Each Category but Not With Thumbnail.Now we Need to Show the Thumbnail from The Post. Will you Start to do Changes? All The Best...
