The same idea as Show Post In lightbox, but laid out as a grid with thumbnails and excerpts. Reach for this when the client wants something that looks like a blog index.
Three columns with excerpts and dates

Demo Beta

Body of Demo Gamma with a link. Reading on a small screen is hard work, so this paragraph gives the audio and the lightbox something to show.
Demo Alpha

Two columns, author and comment count, no lightbox
[ost_catlist id="2" numberposts="4" columns="2" author="yes" comments="yes" lightbox="no"]Notes
Columns run 1 to 6 and always collapse to one on a phone. Sites that used the old “List category posts with lightbox” plugin can keep using [catlist], which is registered as well when no other plugin has claimed it.
A category name that does not exist shows nothing rather than falling back to every post — so an empty block usually means a typo in the category.
