Hi Mike,
Thank you for this great solution !
I think I will add a widget version soon, with a setting page.

Figured it out. Use the Executable PHP Widget and put this code in the following inside php tags:

$text = recent_posts_embed(’[recent posts]‘);
echo $text;

I hope that helps anyone else that needs this in a widget.

Hi sebastien, I love this plugin but I need it in my template. Is there a way to add it into my template? I want to use it in the footer of my website. If not, can it be modified to do so?

@eric rochow:
Hi Eric. You don’t have to modify your index.php. Just edit your home page into WP admin, and place the tag [recent posts] after your slideshow.

@Michel Julien:
Hi, sorry but the tag has to be in a page or a post.

hi Sébastien,

Can we use your plugin as a widget in the sidebar or it’s only restricted to a page or a post?

Merci

I’m sorry Oliver, but you can’t use this code outside wordpress as it uses built-in functions.

Great plugin i think would it be possible to use this code so that the recent posts within wordpress are shown outside ie i would like to add a section to my home page (NOT wordpress) which visitors read a click into the article with WP
