Recent Post Widget

The Plugin

With the A5 Recent Post Widget you can put the latest post in the focus, by displaying it in one of your widget areas. You can decide, whether or not to display the post thumbnail and whether the post title is on top or under that thumbnail. Style your widget in a different way to give it even more exposure.

History

The widget was written on demand and has evolved now to something bigger and better. So, we decided to release version 2.0 to the wild.

Current Version

The current version is 2.1 and has German translation as well. You can define a ‚read more‘ link for the featured post, if needing one. With the time the Recent Post Widget became more flexible and you can now choose where the thumbnail is located regarding the text (left, right, above). You have a possibility to display the post date as well, if wanting to and the code has been completely overhauled.
