How can I include multiple custom post types when using WordPress Elementor Pro?

Including multiple custom post types in Elementor Pro is straightforward, primarily using the "Posts" widget. Here's how you can do it:

1. Using the Posts Widget:

- Drag and drop the "Posts" widget onto your Elementor page or template.

2. Selecting Post Types:

- In the widget's settings, under the "Query" section, you'll find a "Source" dropdown. Choose "Posts".

- Below the "Source" dropdown, you'll see a "Post Type" field. By default, it's set to "Posts".

- Click on the "Post Type" field. You'll see a list of available post types, including your custom ones.

- To include multiple post types, simply select them from the list. You can select more than one by clicking on each one you want to include.

3. Filtering and Ordering:

- You can further refine the display by using the "Taxonomy" and "Terms" fields to filter posts by categories, tags, or custom taxonomies.

- Use the "Order By" and "Order" options to control how the posts are sorted (e.g., by date, title, etc.).

4. Layout and Styling:

- Customize the layout of the posts using the "Layout" section. You can choose from options like "Grid," "Carousel," or "List."

- Style the appearance of the posts using the "Style" tab to adjust colors, typography, and spacing.

5. Advanced Options:

- In the "Advanced" tab, you can add custom CSS classes or IDs for further styling or JavaScript interactions.

Example:

Let's say you have custom post types named "Books" and "Movies." In the "Post Type" field of the "Posts" widget, you would select both "Books" and "Movies" to display posts from both types.

Important Considerations:

- Ensure that your custom post types are properly registered and have content associated with them.

- If you need more complex queries or layouts, consider using Elementor Pro's "Loop Grid" widget, which offers more advanced customization options.

By following these steps, you can easily display content from multiple custom post types using Elementor Pro's "Posts" widget, providing a flexible and powerful way to showcase your content.
