   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().
   ?>
