Recent post thumbnail widget for Wordpress

Question

I am looking for a wordpress plugin that fetches thumbnails from the recent posts in certain category and displays thumbnail along with the post title in the form of widget.

Answer 1

Hmm, I don't think you need a plugin for this, is quite simple:

<?php 

query_posts('category_name=yourcategory&orderby=date'); 


while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

        the_title();
        the_post_thumbnail();

endwhile;


wp_reset_query();

?>

Replace 'yourcategory' with your category :)
