A WordPress Widget to display a list of the latest updated posts.
This widget can be place in your sidebar to display the latest updated posts. Unlike the native "Recent Posts" widget that displays the recently published posts, this one lists the posts that have been recently modified.
The widget allows you to choose:
- between the default post types and your custom post types
- which data to display (dates, excerpt...)
If you have sticky posts, you may want checked "Ignore sticky post" to prevent them to appear at the top of the list.
By choice: if a post is modified on the same day as its publication, it will not be displayed.
You can use Composer to install this plugin as a dependency if you use custom installers:
{
"require": {
"armandphilippot/latest-updated-posts-widget": "dev-main"
}
"repositories": [{
"type": "git",
"url": "git@github.com:ArmandPhilippot/latest-updated-posts-widget.git"
}]
It is also possible to specify a version by replacing dev-main with dev-main#v1.0.0 (an existent tag).
You can download this plugin on Github, then extract it in /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
- Navigate to the "Plugins" dashboard page and click on "Activate".
- Add "Latest updated posts" to a widget area through the "Widgets" menu in WordPress.
- Configure settings.
