Drupal-Like “Views” Module?

  • Hello all,

    I added the “Content Views” plug-in to try to get the same behaviors as my old Drupal 7 site had.

    On my WP in progress site, I’ve created a bunch of testimonials using “Pods – Custom Content Types and Fields”, but I need to have them displayed in a view not all separately on a menu or a page.

    It “seems” (I could be wrong here) that this Content Views requires I pay at least $39 for the Pro version to get the same Drupal views type functionality that I got for free with custom content types.

    In this case, I could probably just get a Testimonials plug-in, but since I may create other custom content types, it’s probably a good idea to figure this out now.

    So, is this WP plug-in the best (only?) one to create views for custom content types (assuming you pay for Pro)?

    Thanks in advance,

    Can you post a screenshot of what would you like to do?

    Here’s the Drupal 7 “Views” plug-in:

    https://www.drupal.org/project/views:

      You like the default front page view, but you find you want to sort it differently.

      You like the default taxonomy/term view, but you find you want to sort it differently; for example, alphabetically.

      You use /tracker, but you want to restrict it to posts of a certain type.

      You like the idea of the ‘article’ module, but it doesn’t display articles the way you like.

      You want a way to display a block with the 5 most recent posts of some particular type.

      You want to provide ‘unread forum posts’.

      You want a monthly archive similar to the typical Movable Type/Wordpress archives that displays a link to the in the form of “Month, YYYY (X)” where X is the number of posts that month, and displays them in a block. The links lead to a simple list of posts for that month.

    In Drupal 8, the current version, this functionality is natively available.

    I only saw one such view capability for WP and it’s not free for custom content types.

    Thanks,
