## Description

Drag and drop the widget and fill out the appropriate fields. Some notes:

To display posts from a specific post type leave Taxonomy as « — No Specific Taxonomy–«

If you leave order by and/or order as « — Choose order parameter — » and/or « — 
Choose orderby parameter — » it will go with WordPress’ default(s), [see here](https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters)
for more information.

The following filters are available:

 * **srpw_get_args** to override arguments of main query for the widget.
 * **srpw_template** to override the output template for the widget, see below for
   more information.
 * **srpw_WIDGET_NAME_template** to override the output template for the widget 
   on a widget by widget basis, the WIDGET_NAME appears on the back-end in the widgets
   window see below for more information.
 * **widget_title** this is a WordPress core filter [see here](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference)
   for more information.
 * **srpw_post_types** to override the post types available for this widget.
 * **srpw_taxonomies** to override the taxonomies available for this widget.

#### Usage of srpw_template filter

Add a « views » directory and file named « custom-srpw.php » to your template directory.
The « custom-srpw.php » file will be your custom template for this example.

#### Example of using a custom template from within your theme pre-PHP 5.3

    ```
        <?php

            function customize_srpw_template_filter( $template ){
                $template_dir = get_template_directory();
                return $template_dir . '/views/custom-srpw.php';
            }
            add_filter( 'srpw_template', 'customize_srpw_template_filter' );
            ?>
    ```

#### Example of using a custom template from within your theme PHP 5.3+ which allows anonymous functions

    ```
        <?php

            add_filter( 'srpw_template', function ( $template ){
                $template_dir = get_template_directory();
                return $template_dir . '/views/custom-srpw.php';
            } );
            ?>
    ```

#### Grunt

This plugin takes advantage of Grunt for validating JavaScript, SASS compilation
and minification. To take advantage of Grunt you have to have both [npm](https://npmjs.org/)
and [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) installed. Visit the respective sites for the applications
and make sure they are installed. Once installed, if you want to edit/fork this 
plugin, it will be helpful to be familiar with these two tools.

### 󠀁[Works well…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-well-1391/)󠁿

 [crzyhrse](https://profiles.wordpress.org/crzyhrse/) juin 24, 2018

Does exactly what I was looking for simply and well, in this case 3 different « 
recent post » areas in the sidebar, showing 3 different categories of recent posts…
One thing I wish for, especially where there are multiple instances of the widget
such as this, is that the entered title for the widget replace the name of the widget,
as is the case with most widgets, rather than simply be appended after it… So that
the widget instances are easily and quickly differentiated… As it is the Widget’s
name is long and fills the space… And most of all thanks for your work and for keeping
it current… Kind regards…
