    Recent Posts Widget With Thumbnails

    Posts Other Posts
    Add to List

    List the most recent posts with post titles, thumbnails, excerpts, authors, categories, dates and more!

    Although the plugin is built only for widget areas users reported that it works in Elementor and works in Oxygen. Whether it runs in other page builders is unknown. Please let me know in which page builder you were able to use the plugin successfully.

    The plugin does not collect any personal data, so it is ready for EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance.

    Lightweight, simple and effective

    No huge widget with hundreds of options. This plugin is based on the well-known WordPress default widget ‘Recent Posts’ and extended to display more information about the posts like e.g. thumbnails, excerpts and assigned categories. And it provides more options to build custom-taylored posts lists.

    The thumbnails will be built from the featured image of a post or of the first image in the post content. If there is neither a featured image nor a content image then you can define a default thumbnail.

    You can set the width and height of the thumbnails in the list. The thumbnails appear left-aligned to the post titles in left-to-right languages. In right-to-left languages they appear right-aligned.
