# of posts

Mmmh…

Not at the moment, I should add a specific parameter for that. I suggest to use a good caching plugin, so that the list will not be re-scanned each time.

As the target of the plugin is to display all posts in the site, to use it in place of a long menu, why do you want to limit it to only x most recent posts? How will your user ever reach the other Total – x posts? I am interested in your case.

Thanks

Besides this, the “most recent” is not the best parameter to use for this plugin…

In fact, it could happen that a Category is not updated for an year and if you apply the “most recent” criteria, the category could not be displayed at all. The same for Authors and Titles, whose list is displayed in alphabetical order.

As I said, this plugin has been developed to supply a global solution… If you limit its output you risk to lose the purpose.

But I am always open to understand user’s positions, comments and suggestions.

Thanks –

When I say most recent, I don’t mean by Time. I mean the last 5 posts in a category.

As our site is a large sports news site, we don’t need to display posts from 2 years ago, just the last 5 in each category.

The main purpose would be to show a sampling of posts from each Cat and each Author – we just have no need to display everything.

We already have strong caching in place as we receive over 50K visitors a day.

I can have a look to introduce this new feature and let you know…
Thanks for the RFE.

brvce,

can we continue the discussion privately? I need some more details about your idea in order to improve the plugin. You can find my email address in the plugin main php file.

Version 1.8 – which includes 3 new parameters to limit the number of posts listed – is now available.
