Could a moderator please remove the link to the website on the first post.

Completely different plugin, but do u think you could help out with this?:

$ret = '';
		if (is_array($posts)) {
			$ret .= '<ul class="wdpv_popular_posts ' . ($network ? 'wdpv_network_popular' : '') . '">';
			foreach ($posts as $post) {
				if ($network) {
					$data = get_blog_post($post['blog_id'], $post['post_id']);
					if (!$data) continue;
				}
				$title = $network ? $data->post_title : $post['post_title'];
				$permalink = $network ? get_blog_permalink($post['blog_id'], $post['post_id']) : get_permalink($post['ID']);

				$ret .= "<li>" .
					"<a href='{$permalink}'>{$title}</a> " .
					sprintf(__('<span class="wdpv_vote_count">(%s votes)</span>', 'wdpv'), $post['total']) .
				"</li>";
			}
			$ret .= '</ul>';
		}

If like me you don’t have access to your Sql database, just re-download the plugin, unzip it. Open file allowphp.php and edit line 27 to read :

static $database_prefix = "allowPHP_functions";

delete the old, replace with the edited and refresh ur page ?? BINGO!

Thanks for the help

After some struggling, debugging like mad i managed to get a working code:

$categoryId = 7;
$args = array('category' =>  $categoryId  , 'post_status' => 'publish', 'numberposts' => 5);
$posters = get_posts( $args );
if ( $posters ) {
foreach ($posters as $post) {  

$imgsrc = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), "Full");
?>
        <a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID); ?>" title=""><img src="<?php echo $imgsrc[0]; ?>" class="thumbnail" width="130" height="130" alt='' /></a> 

    <?php }
}

I’ve made it into a shortcode [featuredposts category=7] and calling it lets me add the featured images of the latest 5 posts for a category of my choosing!

Had a look at your link and thank you for the time. With help from walter at webdesigndepot i’ve now got:
Still no love tho as i can’t figure out how to implement the php into the post, phpexec and similar plugins don’t seem to work for this, tho simple things like echo’test’; work fine.

// fetching latest posts from specific category
$categoryId = 7;
$args = array('category' =>  categoryId  , 'post_status' => 'publish', 'numberposts' => 5);
$posts = get_posts( $args );
foreach($posts as $post){
  $feat_image_url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID) );
 $post_url = get_permalink($post->ID);
}

The contents of the Homepage’s HTML if it helps.

I’d like to see a list of all available shortcode options/commands also. Apparently [fpg cat=”YOUR-Category-ID-Here” orderby=”title” order=”asc”] is doable, tho from the authors documentation it would not appear so. Personally i’m trying to get a different sized grid on my homepage to the one i’m using on all other pages.

This solved my question nicely.
