    Hello,

    I have a theme that in the footer has the most commented widget. The code looks like that:

    <li class=”widget”>
    <h3><?php _e(‘Most Commented’); ?></h3>

      <?php get_hottopics(); ?>

    Now, i would like instead of the most commented to appear the latests posts. how should i change the code?

    thanks a lot

  • Either use a Recent Posts plugin or use code similar to:

    <li class="widget">
<h3><?php _e('5 recent posts'); ?></h3>

<?php
    $args=array(
      'showposts'=>5,
      'caller_get_posts'=>1
    );
    $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
    if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
      while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
        <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
       <?php
      endwhile;
    } //if ($my_query)
  wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>
