 * Does anyone know of a Recent Post plugin that will allow me to eliminate any 
   image of any size, without leaving a generic “placeholder” icon? I just want 
   to post the words in the sidebar to highlight the most recent post onto my home
   page. It has to be simple! I tried Recent Posts Shortcode Widget and it won’t
   let me eliminate the image space. You folks suggested contacting the developer
   but he won’t answer. Is there anything out there that works easily?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Frecent-post-plugin-without-images%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * The built-in WordPress recent post widget doesn’t show featured images.

 * Thanks, but that just lists the recent posts’ titles, dates, and links to them.
   I was looking for a way to actually put the latest post onto the front page, 
   so that reader can see the title and a good bit of the content. That’s what Recent
   Post Shortcode Widget did, only with the stupid little image icon. I’m actually
   using the built in recent posts widget to list the most recent ten, so reader
   can link to them if interested. If that’s the best I can do, I’ll live with it.

 * The image can be hidden with CSS, but that shortcode does not offer any useful
   selectors.

 * What do you mean by “useful selectors”? And any suggestions as to how to hide
   the image with CSS, that isn’t too complicated? I tried to find the image information
   in that plugin but what I found and deleted didn’t help, and I was reluctant 
   to mess with it too much, as I really do not know what I’m doing!
    Thanks.

 * I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/recent-posts-shortcode-widget#new-post](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/recent-posts-shortcode-widget#new-post)
   so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.

 * If you can’t get support, I suggest you use a different plugin.
