# get recent posts problems

 * I have created a complete new php page – favorits.php. This page becomes ‘included’
   in my wp template.
 * In this page I want to display the recent posts. I have used this code:
    -  <?php
       $posts = get_posts(‘numberposts=5&offset=1&category=1’); foreach($
      posts as $post) : ?>
    -  — <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
    -  <?php endforeach; ?>
 * But when looking at this page I get an error:
    “Fatal error: Call to undefined
   function get_posts() in /home/sites/site194/web/cms/wp-content/themes/hemingway/
   favorits.php on line 15”
 * This own creation php file is located in the theme directory!
 * Anyone, any idea what could be wrong here? Thanks in advance,
 * Eric

 * I’m using this script.
 * —-
 * <div class=”title”><?php _e(‘Ultimos Posts’); ?></div>
    -  <?php get_recentposts(); ?>
 * —-
 * Then. I turned it to …
 * —-
 * <div class=”title”><?php _e(‘Ultimos Posts’); ?></div>
    -  <?php get_recentposts(‘numberposts=5’); ?>
 * —-
 * … and it appeared the same error.
    The problem must be in that line.
