Recent Posts Widget: виджет вывода последних записей.
Flector 5Recent Posts Widget Extended это достаточно популярный плагин-виджет для «продвинутого» вывода последних (свежих) записей. Напомню, что в стандартном виджете движка «Свежие записи» есть только настройка заголовка и количества выводимых записей. Этот же плагин содержит все необходимые дополнительные функции – выбор таксономий выводимых записей (рубрики, метки и др.), вывод миниатюр записей, вывод цитат записей, оформление виджета через CSS-стили, возможность задать сортировку выводимых записей и многое другое. Собственно, плагин достаточно небольшой, но содержит практически все нужные функции. Единственное неудобство плагина заключалось в отсутствии русского языка (без знания языка разобраться в настройках сложно), но этот недостаток я исправил.
Скачиваем плагин по ссылке в конце страницы и устанавливаем его:
1 Распаковываем архив.
2 Копируем папку recent-posts-widget-extended
3 Заходим в админку блога на вкладку «Плагины» и активируем плагин.
Отдельных настроек в плагине нет, каждый виджет настраивается индивидуально. Так что сразу заходите во «Внешний вид\Виджеты» и добавляйте на свой сайдбар виджет «Recent Posts Extended«. Выглядит он так:
Как вы видите – настроек много. И именно поэтому мне пришлось перевести плагин на русский язык. Настройка виджета займет у вас лишь пару минут, так что не пугайтесь такого большого окна виджета.
Пара замечаний по виджету – статус записи не переведен на русский язык, так как в плагине нет такой возможности (уж не знаю почему) и использовать относительную дату будет плохой идеей, так как плагин не учитывает морфологии русского языка («5 дня назад»). В остальном же плагин отлично справляется со своей задачей. Например, при использовании темы Twenty Twelve виджет последних записей будет выглядеть так (с миниатюрами):
Конечно, внешний вид выводимого виджета будет сильно зависеть от используемой на сайте темы, а ведь еще можно использовать свои собственные CSS-стили. Поэтому данный скриншот я даю просто для примера – внешний вид виджета можно настроить, каким угодно способом.
Вопросы вида «Как вывести последние записи с миниатюрами?» регулярно повторяются на форумах поддержки WordPress, поэтому надеюсь, что данный плагин окажется вам полезным. А если у вас появятся какие-либо вопросы по нему – пишите в комментариях, постараюсь вам помочь.

ACF Recent Posts Widget — Плагин для WordPress
ACFRPW adds a new widget to the Appearance -> Widgets -> ACF Recent Posts Widget. Most of the fields are quite obvious, you can choose from a set of settings to display the posts from.
Each setting alters the amount and type of posts listed in the sidebar.
Available Settings
The widget supports the following settings:
- Название виджета
- Custom Widget container CSS class
- Option to ignore sticky posts
- Search keyword query
- Id based post exclusion
- Date Display, Date Modified, Relative and Custom Date Format specifiaction
- Listing posts from specific date period (start and end)
- Listing posts with specific password, listing password protected posts only or excluding these
- Post Type selection
- Post Formats selection
- Post Statuses selection
- Listing posts limited to author via author id
- Order specifiaction (ASC or DESC)
- Orderby specification (ID, Author, Title, Date, Modified, Random, Comment Count, Menu Order, Meta Value, Meta Value Numeric)
- Meta Key specifiaction (if Meta Value or Meta Value Numeric were chosen as orderby rule)
- Meta Comparison selection
- Meta Value Specification (for the Meta Comparison selection)
- Category limitation
- Tag limitation
- Id based custom taxonomy limitation
- Operator specifiaction for the above rules
- Выводимое количество сообщений
- Number of posts to skip
- Thumbnail display, thumbnail size (width, height), thumbnail alignment, default thumbnail
- Excerpt display, its word limit, its readmore text (occurs only if the amount of words exceeds the limit)
- Custom HTML to display before the loop
- Custom HTML to display after the loop
- Custom HTML to display before each posts. It supports custom meta keys and ACF fields
- Custom HTML to display after each posts. It supports custom meta keys and ACF fields
- Custom HTML to display for no posts found
- Custom and default CSS
- Custom HTML templates
ACF supported fields
The plugin has been written and tested with ACF 4 (Free). Since version 4.1.5 ACF Pro is also supported,
but there’s no guarantee to the code — it’s a Beta phase and will be kept as long as ACF Pro will not have any bigger
differences between the ACF Free.
The plugin supports the following ACF fields:
- Текстовое поле
- Многострочное поле
- Число
- Емейл
- Пароль
- Wysiwg Editor
- Изображение
- Файл
No other fields have been tested and are supported at the moment.
Короткий номер
From version 4.4 the plugin supports shortcode embeds. Given the amount of options and their specific names (as in shortcode attributes) the shorcode builder has been introduced
see 7th and 8th screenshots for the reference.
You’ll see a popup once clicked on ACFRPW button which gives one an ability to automatically set up the shortcode code for you. The rest follows all of the options specified here.
To use the shortcode one needs to have the WordPress editor enabled for the current page / post type. In case it was disabled (say via ACF) the button won’t appear.
Creating Custom Templates
From version 4.3 the plugin supports custom templates. To make usage of these one needs to make a copy of all the files found
in the acf-recent-posts-widget/templates directory and copy them over to the active template directory to acfrpw subdirectory.
The approach is similar to the way WooCommerce plugin works and has it’s drawbacks. With every new feature the files may be outdated.
Similarly to the widget template files, a separate, custom markup can be created for the shortcode build post listing. Copy the acf-recent-posts-widget/template files
to acfrpw-blog directory created inside your active theme directory.
Template files
There are 3 main template files:
- loop-after.php (which displays the markup after each of the posts and closes the markup container)
- loop-before.php (which displays the markup before each of the posts and opens the markup container)
- loop-inner.php (which is enqueued for each of the posts separatelly and contains the markup of every single post)
Применение
The usage is quite advanced hence each template file contains a quite detailed documentation on how to use it.
First of all the template files mustn’t have the global variables removed. Each of these variables stores the widget settings, which are then used to generate the code.
Second of all the variable names are unobvious, loop-inner.php template file contains a list of all the names used, which are then extracted and available as php variables.
Different template per widget / sidebar
The templates allow one to adjust the markup of each single widget. One needs first to verify the widget id used, which may then be referenced.
The variable which stores the widget id is $acf_rpw_args[‘widget_id’]. Dumping the value in the template is the best way to find out which automatic id has been created for your widget.
The best way to handle the templates is to learn from their code. My personal suggestion is to copy over the templates to the current theme and work directly on them, doing one change at a time.
The templates require learning curve to use and there’s no single answer to everyones problem.
Complex usage
This section covers plugin complex usage for advanced user willing to have more control over the behavior of the plugin as well as explains uncommon functionalities.
Using the HTML textarea fields
These sections might not be obvious. The HTML or text before / after the whole loop setting is an area where you can specify custom HTML markup to be added before / after the whole posts list.
The HTML or text before / after each post is an area where you can not only specify custom HTML, but you are also given an ability to print any meta key or certain ACF fields (see ACF supported fields)
Meta Key Name / ACF Usage
These fields need to be wrapped inside the {meta name} or {acf field_name} tags (which are similar to shortcodes). The plugin will then parse these fields and print their according value. Say we have a custom ACF field of type text, for which the Field Name is «text».
To print its value one has to use [acf text] inside the befoe / after each post textarea. A similar solution applies to the meta key.
Meta Value Usage
The Meta Value field supports an array of elements, so that all of the meta_compare parameters could be used. To do so, please specify the two parameters separated by semicolon, for instance: 1234;12345.
The plugin will convert these into an array and apply the proper operation for the two. Whatsmore the [date] shortcode can be used here. It takes the timestamp paramater as an argument, which is required — the possible arguments are the same as for
the function described here: http://php.net/manual/pl/function.strtotime.php. For instance [date +1 day] would generate the tomorrow date in «Ymd» format.
This can be used with custom meta field date.
Plugin Filters
The are several filters that can be used to enchance the plugin programatically:
- ‘acf_rwp_query’ which gives one the ability to filter the query applied to each widget.
- ‘acp_rwp_before’ which gives on the ability to filter the Front End output of the plugin before each post. There are two hooks attached here already which allow usage of the [acf] and [meta] shortcodes.
- ‘acp_rwp_after’ which gives on the ability to filter the Front End output of the plugin after each post. There are two hooks attached here already which allow usage of the [acf] and [meta] shortcodes.
- ‘acf_meta_value’ which filters the meta_value query parameter.
Check the acf_widget_widget file for the arguments and use cases.

Recent Posts Widget With Thumbnails – Extension WordPress
List the most recent posts with post titles, thumbnails, excerpts, authors, categories, dates and more!
The plugin is available in English, Spanish (Español), German (Deutsch), Persian (فارسی), Arabic (العربية), Polish (Polski) Russian (русский), Turkish (Türkçe), Japanese (日本語) and Greek (Ελληνικά).
Although the plugin is build only for widget areas users reported that it works also in Elementor. Whether it runs in other page builders is unknown. Please let me know in which page builder you were able to use the plugin successfully.
The plugin does not collect any personal data, so it is ready for EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance.
Lightweight, simple and effective
No huge widget with hundreds of options. This plugin is based on the well-known WordPress default widget ‘Recent Posts’ and extended to display more informations about the posts like e.g. thumbnails, excerpts and assigned categories. And it provides more options to build custom-taylored posts lists.
The thumbnails will be built from the featured image of a post or of the first image in the post content. If there is neither a featured image nor a content image then you can define a default thumbnail.
You can set the width and heigth of the thumbnails in the list. The thumbnails appear left-aligned to the post titles in left-to-right languages. In right-to-left languages they appear right-aligned.
