Get Link of last added custom post

  • Is it possible to retrieve the last 3 custom post that have been generated by a plugin?
    To make it clear:
    I am using a plugin that show galleries dynamically, so every time the user click on a link, the gallery link is generated according to albumname and galleryname.
    I was able to create a script that retrieve the galleryname from the mysql database, but I cannot associate it with the albumname, so I cannot show a link of the lasts added gallery.
    I was wondering if there is a function that retrieves the lasts 3 posts (custom posts) generated by this plugin and show a link for each of them.

  • Here is how you can do it. But make sure to change the post_type slug as per your need. In this example I have used gallery_cpt

    1. Setup a custom query
    
$args = array(
    'post_type'      => 'gallery_cpt',
    'posts_per_page' => 3,       
    'orderby'        => 'date',          
    'order'          => 'DESC' 
);
$the_query = new WP_Query($args);

    2. Loop through the above query and display the results accordingly

    if ($the_query->have_posts()) :
    while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();
        echo '<h2><a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a></h2>';
    endwhile;
    wp_reset_postdata();
else :
    echo '<p>No posts found.</p>';
endif;

    thanks for your quick reply!
    I am able to gets the array with the “post_type”, but I am pretty sure that this trick does not give me the link, cause everytime a gallery is requested by user, the request also elaborate the album, type of visualization (thumbnail, compact, etc), numebr of images per page, everytime for each gallery.
    Is there a way that simply scrape all the last link generated by that specific plugin?
