W4 Post List is a WordPress plugin for building custom lists of posts, terms, or users that match your theme instead of fighting it. You choose what to display and how to filter it, then control the exact HTML and CSS of every item through a Template you write yourself.

The basic flow is: create a List, pick a post type and filters, then write a template using shortcodes such as [posts] for the list and [nav] for pagination. Because you write the markup, the result reuses your theme’s own classes and layout.
