WP One Post Widget lets you pick a single published post and show it in any widget area.
Features:
- Search and select a published post from the Widgets screen
- Optional custom title
- Optional “Read more” label linking to the post permalink
- Optional featured image with left, right, or top placement
- Uses the post excerpt when available, otherwise a safe plain-text summary
The plugin does one job: display one selected post in a widget.
- Upload the
wp-one-post-widget folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
- Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.
- Go to Appearance → Widgets (or the Customizer widgets panel).
- Add “WP One Post Widget”, search for a published post, and save.
- Optional: set a custom title, read-more label, and thumbnail options.
Tip: for best results with summaries, fill in the post Excerpt field in the editor.
