The “Recent Posts Easy” plugin provides a simple shortcode for displaying recent posts with thumbnails and meta descriptions on your WordPress site.
The shortcode accepts several attributes that allow you to customize the output, including the number of posts to display, the image size, the post type, the category, the sort order, and the maximum length of the meta description.
To use the shortcode, simply add the following code to any page or post:
<pre><code>[recent-posts]
</code></pre>
You can also customize the shortcode by adding attributes, like this:
[recent-posts limit=”10″ image_size=”medium” post_type=”page” category=”news” order=”ASC” meta_limit=”30″]

<h3>Usage</h3>
To use the shortcode, simply add the following code to any page or post:
<pre><code>[recent-posts]
</code></pre>
This will display the 5 most recent posts with thumbnails and meta descriptions.
You can also customize the shortcode by adding attributes. Here are the available attributes:
<ul>
<li><code>limit</code> – The maximum number of posts to display (default is 5)</li>
<li><code>image_size</code> – The size of the thumbnail image (default is “thumbnail”)</li>
<li><code>post_type</code> – The post type to display (default is “post”)</li>
<li><code>category</code> – The category to display (default is empty)</li>
<li><code>order</code> – The sort order of the posts (default is “DESC”)</li>
<li>
<code>meta_limit</code> – The maximum length of the meta description (default is 15) 
For example, to display the 10 most recent pages in the “news” category with medium-sized thumbnails and longer meta descriptions, you would use the following shortcode:
[recent-posts limit=”10″ image_size=”medium” post_type=”page” category=”news” order=”ASC” meta_limit=”30″]
</li>
</ul>
