I am trying to be clever(ish) and use your script to generate a list of ALL post titles on a single page (possibly even include the contents of the description meta-tag as a snippet.

However pasting the php into a new WP generated page just gets rendered as text. Do you know a way around this WP?

I can’t believe WP does not have this kind of feature by default – the only thing users can do is list the entire post content for categories but I just wan the more user friendly title/description tag.

TIA, Brian

Great script! But can it be altered so that it will not list the post your are currently on?

i.e I’m viewing my third latest post, so the list on the left will show posts 1 and 2, then 4 – 11??

Thanks!
Matt

Just a note … I added the following line to your code in order to elimate “pages” from being displayed. On the site that I was working on, I only wanted “posts” to display …

After the line that contains the “WHERE” clause, I added:

$sql .= “AND $tableposts.post_type = ‘post’ “;

Great function! Thanks!

If you want to only include posts, add the following code to the script on the line BEFORE “$sql .= “GROUP BY $tableposts.ID ORDER BY.”

Code to add: $sql .= ” AND $tableposts.post_type = ‘post’ “;

[...] involved. No uploaded files or manipulating funny codes. Just copy and paste the code from this wordpress recent plugin page into your sidebar.php, and that’s it. All done. It was the simplest add-on I’ve ever [...]

Nice, although I have the same problem as Bock the Robber– how can I exclude pages and only include posts??

Thanks,

It works great on my blog. How did you get it to work with comments as well?

Hi. This is a nice little feature. However, I notice it picks up pages as well as posts. Do you think it could be refined to show posts only?
