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>.

Sometimes when you update one of your pages on the WordPress blog you would want visitors to know about those. This widget will create a sidebar 
box with a list of pages you’ve recently updated. It also shows the date of the update beside the page title. You can choose whether to display the update date and in what format.
You’ve an option to display the Posts in the list as well. If checked (through admin panel) the list will include the Posts along with the list of Pages.
You can use WP’s shortcode to display the last update date of the page or blog posts. Date/time format for the shortcode can be controlled through the widget settings.
V 1.0.4 only fixes the bug related to the widget area where any widget (in admin panel) below RUP’s widget will lockup and cannot be moved.
V 2.0.0 widget code updated to make it combatible with WordPress v. 6.6.2
