Thanks very much, I did find both those links and I did read everything that was there about doing this, but it doesn’t give examples of how it is to be presented and not very intuitive. Can you advise what I would do if I wanted to change the title because right now is it called “Recent Posts”, or if I wanted to remove the title completely?
Thank you so much!
<?php the_widget('WP_Widget_Recent_Posts', array('number' => 4, 'title' => 'Some Other Title'), $args); ?>
or you could try with a single space character as title – however this will still output the ‘before_title’ and ‘after_title’ html tags:
<?php the_widget('WP_Widget_Recent_Posts', array('number' => 4, 'title' => ' '), $args); ?>
or to get rid of the html title tags and show no title:
<?php the_widget('WP_Widget_Recent_Posts', array('number' => 4, 'title' => ' '), array('before_title' => '', 'after_title' => '')); ?>
Thank you again for your help and fast response. 🙂
