Post List

Small spaces. The Post List in Sky Addons for Elementor packs articles into a compact run of rows — a fixed 156px thumbnail on the left, then a category pill, headline and byline — laid out two across by default. It is the widget for a sidebar, a footer column or a “more from the blog” strip, not for a main index.

One, two or three — a deliberately shorter list than the other Sky Addons post widgets, because each row already contains a picture and three lines of text. It ships at two columns with a 20px gap and folds to a single column at 1024px and below, and the Column Gap slider is responsive if you want it tighter on tablet.

Because the thumbnail is pinned at 156px wide by the layout, dropping to 100px from 1024px down. Image Size chooses which file WordPress serves, not how wide it is drawn — so Medium is the sensible default here, and picking Full only sends a much larger file to be displayed in the same 156px slot.

Yes. Content Position has two settings: Default, which runs the image and text side by side, and Block Layout, which stacks them. It is stored per breakpoint, so a two-across row on desktop can become a stacked card on a phone — useful when the remaining width after a 100px thumbnail leaves headlines breaking awkwardly.

Yes, though think before using it here. Show Pagination adds numbered links driven by WordPress’s paged variable, which reloads the whole page — fine for a main listing, less so for a sidebar block where paging the sidebar would also reload the article beside it. In a sidebar, a low Limit usually serves better than pagination.

Short, or not at all. Show Text ships off on the Post List, and when you turn it on the limit starts at 30 words — which beside a 156px thumbnail produces a tall row that undoes the compactness. Ten to fifteen words reads as a subtitle and keeps the list scannable; the count is in words, not characters.

Yes. Set Source to Related and the widget queries the same post type as the item being viewed, filtered to that item’s author, so a single-post template gets a working “more from this writer” block with no configuration per post. Ticking Current Post under Exclude By keeps the article being read out of its own list.

Nothing at all — no rows, no frame, no message. In a sidebar that is usually the right behaviour, but it does mean a heading placed above the widget will still be there, sitting over empty space. Put the heading inside the same container so you can hide the pair together, or keep the query broad enough that it always returns something.

Not directly, and this is the practical limit. It is an Elementor widget, so it lives inside an Elementor container — a page, a template or an Elementor-built footer — rather than in Appearance → Widgets. Anywhere Elementor renders, it works, and it needs no Elementor Pro to do so.

This one. The Post List gives each article roughly a 156px picture and three short lines; the Mate List and Naive List both give a post a full-width row with a 34px headline, and the Sapling, Generic, Luster and Ultra widgets all build tall cards or full-bleed tiles. If the space is narrow or the block is secondary to the page, start here.
