This easy to use WordPress plugin is designed to add a new feature for theme developers. Used on many of my own websites as well as those of my clients, the plugin allows me to quickly add a collection of recent posts to any theme element.
The plugin can easily be used by website owners as a WordPress Widget, adding lists of posts to the Sidebar of a WordPress website.
<h4>About the plugin</h4>
More advanced users can also call the functionality of the plugin from a WordPress shortcode by adding the code <code>[thisismyurl_easy_recent_posts]</code> to any Post or Page within WordPress.
Finally, theme authors may also take advantage of the plugin by calling the functionality directly from theme files with the code <code>thisismyurl_easy_recent_posts();</code>.

Introducing new feature in 0.6.13 version: the embedded video instead of the Post Featured Image
You can use the embedded video (first movie) instead of the Post Featured Image in Responsive Grid Layout. This feature is experimental and now the plugin support Youtube video only. If you have any ideas about this feature or it work not properly, please write me in special topic on <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-feature-in-0613-the-embedded-video-instead-of-the-post-featured-image">Support Forum</a>.
See the <a href="http://demo.lp-tricks.com/recent-posts/responsive-grid-light/" rel="nofollow ugc">live demo of this feature</a>.
In version 0.6.4 added new color scheme (both widgets and shortcode) – natural image colors, without any overlay 🙂 If you choose this scheme – add in files lptw-recent-posts.css or style.css in your theme some styles, read more in the FAQ.
Advanced Recent Posts plugin shows the latest posts with thumbnails in two areas:
<ul>
<li>widget in your sidebar</li>
<li>shortcode in any place of your post or theme.</li>
</ul>
Customization of the plugin is wery simple an flexible:
<ul>
<li>Widgets are configured into Dashboard -> Appearance -> Widgets</li>
<li>Shortcodes are configured in plugin shortcode builder, you will see it in the admin menu of your WordPress</li>
</ul>
There are two predefined color schemes (for Basic and Grid layouts): dark and light, but you can set up your own scheme. Or use natural images.
Better to see once than read a hundred times – see the <a href="http://demo.lp-tricks.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">live demo</a> on my website 🙂
