This plugin can be used to connect to another wordpress blog. I created this widget to display a list of posts from another blog of mine that resided in a subdomain on the same server. The options you have is to display posts from multiple categories from your sub blog. Lets say that you have a blog 'www.yourblog.com' and another blog named sub.yourblog.com and you wish to display a list of posts in your 'www.yourblog.com' from 'sub.yourblog.com' what you can do is install the plugin in 'www.yourblog.com' and configure it. This plugin needs some information in order to connect to the database of your other blog. You can find all the needed information in your wp-config.php file of your 'sub.yourblog.com'. In this version you can display a summary of the post and a link to the category that it belongs to.

Basic Features:

  • Display a list of posts from another blog with multiple category options, display or not category name, display or not comment count, open post or category in a new window and display or not summary of posts
  • Include short code in a post or page and display the above mentioned including a single post with the option of full post or the exceprt
  • Include short code and define different multiple categories criteria to display in a single post or page with various options
