1. Add the Dynamic Listing widget to a page or template. 

2. Select **Normal Page** from the **Post Listing Types** dropdown. 

3. Then select your post type from the **Post Type** dropdown, i.e., “*Posts*” here.

4. After that, select the appropriate style and layout (except Carousel).

5. Then, go to the **Category Wise Filter** tab and enable the **Category Wise Filter** toggle.

6. After that, select the **Ajax **option from the **Filter Type** dropdown.

7. Now, you will see the **URL** **Enable **toggle option under the **Extra Options** tab. Simply enable it.
