WordPress Plugin – List Latest Posts Titles

09 July 2009 | PHP,Programming,Software Programming,WordPress,social networking,social web,webtrends | Tags: , , , , ,

Here is a latest plugin for WordPress, called Latest Posts Titles, that we have developed to bring all Titles of Latest Posts posted on a WordPress blog.

The requirement came when we are developing a theme for our site SearchAndhra.com, where in we need to display latest posts belongs to a specific category, in our home page and also in single post page. After checking various plugins available for WordPress we coded this plugin.

The main motive behind coding this plugin is to reduce number of queries fired against MySQL database, while listing titles of latest posts.

List Latest Posts Titles plugin uses only one query per call, to retrieve titles of latest posts belongs to a particular category.

You can download and install this List Latest Posts Titles plugin from WordPress Plugin Directory.

    Hi :-)

    I have been looking for this plugin!!!! Cannot wait to use it!

    I added the plugin… and enabled it… but am unable to view it in the SETTINGS area — oh, and I have added a lot of plugins so I know how to do that part :-) Any suggestions?

    Thrive…

    As this plugin has no configurations to be made, it won’t appear in Settings.
    you can directly use this plugin with help of a function call as shown below in your theme pages.

    Ex: get_latest_posts(“News”);
    where News is category name from where titles of latest posts will be retrived.
    (or)
    get_latest_posts(“News”, 10); // this call will list latest 10 post titles

    Don’t you know that you are now out of the realm of the normal user and this is only for technically advanced people? You want us to manually edit theme pages? What does that mean and how do you do it?

    Hope you get the idea.
