PE Recent Posts is a very simple and popular, free WordPress plugin purposed to display image slides including a slide title, description, and a read more button that can be linked to posts from a specified category. The category can be selected by the plugin’s user, or it can display items in all categories as well.
There is no limit to the number of slides, but there is a possibility to specify how many slides will be visible in a column. What’s more, the title and the description of each slide appear with a slide-in animation effect.
What about the image sizes? There is a select list available where you can choose defined sizes determined by Media Settings for WordPress. You need to know that the plugin does not need to scale images by itself. This is a useful solution from the point of site optimization view.
