This plugin was build to be used along with page builders.
Post Preview Card installs 3 widgets to help non-developers that want to use page builders to preview blog posts within static page builder's pages.
list of widgets:
- Multiple Posts: This widget previews multiple posts and you can select how many widgets to be firstly displayed and then the user will load the rest of the posts by clicking in the "plus button" and the posts are going to be reloaded without the need of reloading the page, this is possible because this widget use AJAX to load the others posts, granting a better User Experience.
