 * A function to show total number of unread posts


== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= 1. How can I see that the plugin works? =

1. Install the plugin and make sure that it is activated on your website.
2. Visit your blog's main page, or the page where the posts are shown.
3. Add a new post to your blog.
4. Look at the posts page once again. The new post will have an orange circle to the left of its title. Once you visit the page once again, it will disappear.

= 2. What do I need the mnp_is_new_post() and mnp_new_posts_count() functions for? =

These two functions can be useful if you are developing a WordPress theme.
~~~~
mnp_is_new_post($post);
~~~~
Returns true if specific post is unread, otherwise false.
Parameters: $post (optional) - post ID or object.
~~~~
mnp_new_posts_count($query);
