The WordPress community has just gone ahead and made it up.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, it is one of those words that just makes perfect sense. If you know what a widget is (in a WordPress context), you&#8217;ll know what &#8220;widgetizing&#8221; is. Such is the beauty of made-up (yet self-explanatory) words.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, you probably have a pretty good idea of what the <a title=\"Custom Post Display Plugin\" href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/custom-post-display\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Custom Post Display plugin<\/a> does without me having to go into too much detail.<\/p>\n<p>If you are an advocate and regular user of <a href=\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/easy-guide-to-displaying-custom-post-types-in-your-wordpress-theme\/\" target=\"_blank\">custom post types in WordPress<\/a>, it could be right up your alley. All you do is select your custom post type from within the widget, along with a few other settings:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-79700\" title=\"Custom Post Display\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/custom-post-display-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Custom Post Display\" width=\"271\" height=\"453\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And then hey presto! Your posts are displayed within a widget:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-79701\" title=\"Custom Post Display\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/custom-post-display-2.jpeg\" alt=\"Custom Post Display\" width=\"289\" height=\"496\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The potential applications for Custom Post Display are numerous. Showcasing projects (as above) is a good example, as would be displaying a selection of quotes or images (if you&#8217;re into spontaneously publishing such snippets on your blog).<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Custom Post Display\" href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/custom-post-display\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Download Custom Post Display here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Creative Commons image courtesy of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/juanpol\/\" target=\"_blank\">juanpol<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Display excerpts from specific custom post types within widgetized areas with this free plugin!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":84405,"featured_media":79703,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"blog_reading_time":"","wds_primary_category":0,"wds_primary_tutorials_categories":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1041,52],"tutorials_categories":[],"class_list":["post-79699","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-plugins","tag-custom-post-types","tag-widgets"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/84405"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79699"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79699\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":216339,"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79699\/revisions\/216339"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79699"},{"taxonomy":"tutorials_categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tutorials_categories?post=79699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
