<p><em>Update:</em>  If you need more functionality please see the next generation of this plugin at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/network-latest-posts/</p>
<p>Creates a widget to show a list of the most recent posts across a WordPress MU installation.  It shows the most recent post from each blog.  This plugin is based on the work of many authors.</p>
<p>This works on previous versions of WPMU, but not on previous versions of WordPress (where it doesn’t make sense).</p>
<h3>Options</h3>
<ul>
<li>Number of posts to show – list this many posts.</li>
<li>Number of days to limit – only go back this number of days to get posts.  Set to -1 for no limit (default).</li>
</ul>

<p>This plugin allows you to display the latest posts of all blogs on your main wpmu site.</p>
<h3>Normal Usage</h3>
<p>Insert “[recent_mu_posts howmany=10]” into the content of a page, where “howmany=10” is how many posts you would like to display.</p>
<h3>Optional usage</h3>
<p>You can optionally use this in your theme by adding the code below into your theme file, this is not recomended due to the fact that if you change your theme it will not work in your new theme.</p>
<pre><code><?php do_shortcode('[recent_mu_posts howmany=10]'); ?>Plugin initially produced on behalf of [Sound Source Music](http://www.ssminstruments.com).
