Unzip and upload the folder `/recent-custom-posts/` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory of your WordPress installation. 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 3. Add as many 'Recent Custom Posts' widgets as you'd like to your available sidebars, and adjust each widget's settings accordingly. == Frequently Asked Questions == = How do I select multiple post types? = The widget uses a select box in order to display the post types. Click the first post type, then ctrl or cmd click the additional post types you wish to include. == Screenshots == 1. The widget in action. == Changelog == = 1.0.1 = * Plugin was generating the same id for the ul tag in each widget.
