While I have considered the idea, there are at least 2 seemingly good options out there already (in no particular order): - [Recent Posts Widget Extended](https://wordpress.org/plugins/recent-posts-widget-extended/) - [Flexible Posts Widget](https://wordpress.org/plugins/flexible-posts-widget/) * From their description pages it appears that both plugins offer similar features than WPP’s, so you might want to check them out. * If there’s at least one feature from WPP than none of them have, please let me know and I might think about building a new plugin 🙂 * Thread Starter [blindpet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blindpet/) * (@blindpet) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/equivalent-for-recent-posts/#post-6123477) * Recent Posts Widget doesn’t create thumbnails for me and the default text and CSS looks like crap. Flexible posts widget won’t create a custom thumbnail size. * I would happily pay you to create the plugin if it won’t be too time consuming for you. Your popular posts plugin looks nice, clean and just works out of the box 🙂 * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/equivalent-for-recent-posts/#post-6123509) * Well, generally speaking I’m quite busy (the life of every developer out there) but at first glance such a plugin shouldn’t be too difficult to build since the foundation is already in place (WPP). * However, before making any decisions I’d like to take a closer look at every option available out there. If I find that there might be a good chance to build a plugin capable to compete with the rest, then I just might go for it 🙂 * Thread Starter [blindpet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blindpet/) * (@blindpet) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/equivalent-for-recent-posts/#post-6123555) * It would be great to buy free time 😉 * That would be great if you did. I remember another Recent Posts plugin did show thumbnails but didn’t crop them properly like yours does. * Just sent you a small donation for your work on this plugin. * If you do create a plugin could you ping this thread so I can test it out, happy to beta test as well of course. * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/equivalent-for-recent-posts/#post-6123757) * Hey, just so you know: [http://cabrerahector.com/blog/](http://cabrerahector.com/blog/) * I can’t release it to the public yet since there’s still a lot to do and test, but as you can see it’s already working 😉 * Thread Starter [blindpet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blindpet/) * (@blindpet) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/equivalent-for-recent-posts/#post-6123759) * Great but I don’t see any thumbnails? * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/equivalent-for-recent-posts/#post-6123760) * Thumbnails aren’t enabled to match the styling of the WPP widget next to it, but it works 🙂 * Thread Starter [blindpet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blindpet/) * (@blindpet) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/equivalent-for-recent-posts/#post-6123761) * OK cool, glad you’re working on this. Let me know when thumbnails work too 🙂 * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/equivalent-for-recent-posts/#post-6123762) * You got me wrong: thumbnails are already working 😉 I just didn’t enable the option on the widget. * Thread Starter [blindpet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blindpet/) * (@blindpet) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/equivalent-for-recent-posts/#post-6123763) * Awesome, can I test it? 😀 * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/equivalent-for-recent-posts/#post-6123765) * Yep, but just not yet 😛 * Once I’m done cleaning up its code -there are still some traces of the WPP plugin in there ^^- I’ll let you know so you can check it out 🙂 * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/equivalent-for-recent-posts/#post-6123775) * Hi there! * Thought I’d let you know 🙂 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/recently/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/recently/) * Thread Starter [blindpet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blindpet/) * (@blindpet) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/equivalent-for-recent-posts/#post-6123776) * Awesome, going to test now * Thread Starter [blindpet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blindpet/) * (@blindpet) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/equivalent-for-recent-posts/#post-6123777) * Thumbnails aren’t showing, just getting grey No thumbnail images. Do I need to do something special? * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/equivalent-for-recent-posts/#post-6123778) * Nope, should work out of the box. It does for me, at least. Post your site’s URL and I’ll go take a look 🙂 * **Edit:** it’s [http://www.htpcguides.com/](http://www.htpcguides.com/), right? If so, you either removed the widget or I’m blind hehe Let me know when it’s active so I can check it out.
