Better Recent Posts Widget Plugin

Better Recent Posts Widget Plugin

Featured, Freebies, Plugins, Wordpress3 comments

WordPress comes with a Recent Posts widget that you can use to display a list of your latest posts in your widgetized sidebar, but it’s really not very good in the fact that it does give you any control over your posts at all. So I’ve written a new one.

This is a very simple plugin, but it gives you much better control over your widget display.

Plugin features include:

  • New Recent Posts Widget
  • Widget Title Option
  • Option to control the number of posts displayed
  • Option to control the posts offset
  • Ability to enable post thumbnails
  • Thumbnail size option
  • Choose the post type to display

Download the plugin from Pippin’s Plugins.com.

    I’ve tried numerous times to display thumbnails including different sizes.

    Still to no avail.

    Any suggestions?

  2. @John – what size does it display?

    Thank you for the response. It won’t display them at all even if I specify 20, 30, 40 or 80.

    Would they be blocked somehow?
