Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Recent Posts Ultimate

This plugin takes the best features of five VERY popular recent posts plugins, tosses in the ability to show posts with or without HTML code and gives you a Shortcode builder (which you can copy/paste anywhere on a page, a post or inside a widget), while allowing custom post types to be used.

You can limit it to certain post types, certain categories, sort it by title or date posted, ascending, descending. You can even select whether you want the featured image shown (as a thumbnail), hide/show the title, link the title, the text, control how many words you want shown in the snippet, etc.

Important note: Not all features mentioned above are in this current version. See below for our planned updates.

While this is the first version of this plugin, it should be robust enough to handle just about any of your needs.

Features:

  • Shortcode builder allows you to customize most aspects of the post (hide post title, category, date).
  • Works anywhere you can use shortcode.
  • Responsive, width-wise. Height of div will adjust automatically.

0. 6+.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

  • Check the FAQs/Help located on WordPress’ Plugin page, or the Support forum on WordPress.org’s plugin area.
  • The Shortcode Builder has been extensively tested with both jQuery version 1.12.4 and 3.5.1, without any issues. The output, however, does not need jQuery/JavaScript.
