The advantage of the widget over other themes recent posts is that you can give a style to the recent posts by editing the widget options in <a href=\"https:\/\/env.averta.net\/en\/step\/phlox-recent-posts-element\/?b=36639,36639\" title=\"Phlox Recent Posts Element\">Widget Areas<\/a> or in Page Builder. Phlox?Recent Posts?Widgets allow you to show your most recent posts on a widget bar of your website, and any page or post you want.<\/p>\n<p>One of Page Builder?elements to do so, is <strong>Timeline Recent Posts Widget<\/strong>, that displays a list of your website recent posts in chronological order. The timeline will sort the posts based on their date. The posts of this timeline can appear in three different positions and divided by the specified month. This date?will appear on the vertical line and between posts of each month.<\/p>\n<p>The posts that appears in this mode, contain a post image, post title, post date, an excerpt, a read more or author name, and like and comment button.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n<h3>Video Tutorial<\/h3>\n<div style=\"position: relative; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" style=\"position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; left: 0; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mQsx6ykwd54?ecver=2\" frameborder=\"0\" encrypted-media=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<hr style=\"clear: both;\" \/>\n<h3>Timeline Recent Posts Options?in Elementor Page Builder<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Go to your <strong>WordPress Admin Panel<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Click the <b>Pages?<\/b>on the <b>Dashboard<\/b><\/li>\n<li>Click the <b>Add New<\/b><\/li>\n<li>Navigate to the top left hand of the WordPress text-box and find?<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/env.averta.net\/en\/step\/getting-started-with-elementor-page-builder\/?b=55475,55475\" title=\"Getting Started with Elementor Page Builder\">Edit with Elementor<\/a>?<\/strong>button.<\/li>\n<li>Check out?<strong>Elements<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Scroll down to?<strong>PHLOX &#8211; POSTS?<\/strong>section<\/li>\n<li>Choose <b>Timeline Posts<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>After adding recent posts to your post or page, you are able to customize it by available options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Layout<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/env.averta.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/phlox-timeline-posts-layout-elementor.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-55937 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/env.averta.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/phlox-timeline-posts-layout-elementor.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/env.averta.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/phlox-timeline-posts-layout-elementor.png 300w, https:\/\/env.averta.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/phlox-timeline-posts-layout-elementor-95x300.png 95w, https:\/\/env.averta.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/phlox-timeline-posts-layout-elementor-55x173.png 55w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Layout<\/h4>\n<p>There are three <strong>Timeline alignments<\/strong>\ud83d\ude15<strong>Center<\/strong>,?<strong>Left<\/strong>,?and <strong>Right<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Display<\/h4>\n<p>You are able to enable these features to display on your recent posts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Display post media (Image, Video, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Display post title<\/li>\n<li>Display like button<\/li>\n<li>Display excerpt and choose the length of it (The number of characters to show)<\/li>\n<li>Display author or read more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/env.averta.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/phox-grid-carousel-posts-content-elementor.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-55905 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/env.averta.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/phox-grid-carousel-posts-content-elementor.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"1283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/env.averta.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/phox-grid-carousel-posts-content-elementor.png 317w, https:\/\/env.averta.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/phox-grid-carousel-posts-content-elementor-74x300.png 74w, https:\/\/env.averta.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/phox-grid-carousel-posts-content-elementor-253x1024.png 253w, https:\/\/env.averta.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/phox-grid-carousel-posts-content-elementor-43x173.png 43w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Content<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Query<\/h4>\n<p>You are able to choose one or more than one <strong>C<\/strong><strong>ategory<\/strong> for your recent posts, or even show the posts of all available categories.
