This plugin is designed to help you curate your content. It lets you assign and order stories within zones that you create, edit, and delete, and display those groupings of related stories on your site.
This plugin was originally built by Mohammad Jangda in conjunction with William Davis and the Bangor Daily News.
Features
- Add, edit, and delete zones.
- Add and remove posts (or any custom post type) to or from zones.
- Order posts in any given zone.
- Limit capabilities on who can add, edit, and delete zones vs add content to zones.
- Locking mechanism, so only one user can edit a zone at a time (to avoid conflicts).
- Idle control, so people can’t keep the zone locked.
Function Reference

z_get_zones()

Ìgbéwọlẹ̀
- Unzip contents and upload to the
/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Go to Dashboard > Zones to create and manage your zones, and easily search for and add existing posts.
- Use the plugin’s handy API functions to add zones to your theme that retrieve and display your content. Or, for those who are a bit code-averse, go to Appearance-Widgets and add Zone Posts widgets to display your zone posts in your sidebar or footer. The widget will pull the posts from the chosen zone.
Usage examples
You can work with a zone’s posts either as an array or a WP_Query object.
WP_Query
$zone_query = z_get_zone_query( 'homepage' );
if ( $zone_query->have_posts() ) :
while ( $zone_query->have_posts() ) : $zone_query->the_post();
echo '<li>' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_query();
Posts Array
$zone_posts = z_get_posts_in_zone( 'homepage' );
foreach ( $zone_posts as $zone_post ) :
echo '<li>' . get_the_title( $zone_post->ID ) . '</li>';
endforeach;
