   How do i use recent post widget on post

   I want to use the default widget - Recent Post and set show 15 entries on my post

   I have a post which call Updates , display the latest post base on the algorithm Widget - Recent post

   Normal recent post plugins cant show in the order that Widget - Recent post show cause i use some wp-sticky plugin and other plugins.

   Only the default built in recent post widget can show in the order i want , I wanna put the data in my post , phpExec installed and can execute php.

   That query is at line 1310 in wp-includes/widgets.php so look in that area of code for idea.

   Might be easier to just look at a recent post plugin such as http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/recent-posts-plugin/

   But this should work for you:
   

   <?php
   // retrieve 5 recent posts, not including the current post
      $args=array(
      'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
      'showposts'=>5,
      'caller_get_posts'=>1
      );
   $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
   if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
   echo 'Recent Posts';
   while ($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;
   }
   wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   ?>

   dear moderator, the code you provide i apply it in my post.

   However, my post was call "Updates" but when put in your phpcode, it change to another post and its content.

   I think there something wrong with the code as it use other post content as my "updates post".

   Somehow got overwrite.

   Thanks!
