Introducing new feature in 0.6.13 version: the embedded video instead of the Post Featured Image

You can use the embedded video (first movie) instead of the Post Featured Image in Responsive Grid Layout. This feature is experimental and now the plugin support Youtube video only. If you have any ideas about this feature or it work not properly, please write me in special topic on Support Forum.

See the live demo of this feature.

In version 0.6.4 added new color scheme (both widgets and shortcode) – natural image colors, without any overlay ???? If you choose this scheme – add in files lptw-recent-posts.css or style.css in your theme some styles, read more in the FAQ.

Advanced Recent Posts plugin shows the latest posts with thumbnails in two areas:

  • widget in your sidebar
  • shortcode in any place of your post or theme.

Customization of the plugin is wery simple an flexible:

  • Widgets are configured into Dashboard -> Appearance -> Widgets
  • Shortcodes are configured in plugin shortcode builder, you will see it in the admin menu of your WordPress

There are two predefined color schemes (for Basic and Grid layouts): dark and light, but you can set up your own scheme. Or use natural images.

Better to see once than read a hundred times – see the live demo on my website ????
