Ever wanted to be able to display posts and page that have been updated recently? If yes, here’s a nice recipe, provided by Corey, that will get the things done.
Paste this code anywhere you'd like to display a list of recently updated posts and pages. You can specify how much item to show by editing the value of the $howMany variable.
<?php
$today = current_time('mysql', 1);
$howMany = 5; //Number of posts you want to display
if ( $recentposts = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID, post_title FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = 'publish' AND post_modified_gmt < '$today' ORDER BY post_modified_gmt DESC LIMIT $howMany")):
?>
<h2><?php _e("Recent Updates"); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php
foreach ($recentposts as $post) {
if ($post->post_title == '') $post->post_title = sprintf(__('Post #%s'), $post->ID);
echo "<li><a href='".get_permalink($post->ID)."'>";
the_title();
echo '</a></li>';
}
?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
Credits goes to Corey for this awesome code!

Good one, thanks!
You’re welcome! Corey did a nice job with that code
Thank you so much!
Thank your for the code. Is there a possibility to only show pages?
@Johannes: I didn’t tested it, but if you add “AND post_type= ‘page’” to the WHERE clause, it should only get pages.
@Jean-Baptiste: Works fine. Thanks!
Sorry, but I’m new at this. Exactly where do I go in my WordPress setup to paste in this code? I’m using the Atahualpa Theme. Should this code go into the theme setup, or ? Thanks.
Hi !!
