    Hello, Great Plugin, thank you for making it.

    We need to have an option to sort posts by publish date (newest to oldest) to use in one of the widgets. Can this option be added please? if not, is there a work around?

    Thank you!

    Hi @mi001,

    Unfortunately there’s no way to achieve that – and it even would go against the nature of the plugin.

    If you’re looking for a plugin with features similar to what WordPress Popular Posts provides but that lists posts by publish date then you may want to give Recently a try.

    Hi, It is exactly what we needed. Nice that it has the same CSS styling (separate plugin separate files) but main by the same source, so it has some similarity near 100% which is what we needed out of the box (without new CSS code) – Thank you.

    One small detail. I attached a file to show a minor difference maybe you can fix the Recently code to match the same output of this Plugin. (the thumbnail has a small dotted line around the picture, it is better without it if possible)

    Sorry for the double reply. we also discovered two more diffrences on the CSS between the two plugins.

    see pics: https://paste.pics/06a8fc03f4776049b16c275191e07a23

    We wish that the CSS be all the same as the “WordPress Popular Posts” plugin’s css file.

    Is there a way we can use the same CSS file for the two plugin. or if possible would you please make a “Cut and Paste” of the CSS from the “WordPress Popular Posts” plugin’s css file to the newly being made and amazing “Recently” Plugin’s css file…

    What we want for our page is to have the same CSS output look using the two different plugin. (they are very close now, but wish for an exact rendering look)

    Thank you very much!

    Fixed. (See below)

    Since both Plugins are by the same Author (Great One!) I think the styling should be the same and consistent for both Plugins. I have updated the recently.css file to match that of wpp.css and now both widgets look the same and things are great!

    Note: If you are kind to keep the match of the CSS on the future update of the Recently plugin, it will be nice to stay consistent and not have to manually go back and match the two files. (P.S. the wpp.css fixed all issues, so it trumped the recently.css file)

    Thank you very much!

    Updated CSS below:

    Thanks for the kind words, and for sharing the updated CSS rules too. I’ll review these as soon as I can. For the time being and since you managed to do what you needed with Recently I’m marking this topic as resolved.
