Overview
Get Post adds a tag that allows you to retrieve and display the latest post
identified by a specific set of parameters.
When this plugin is active, any post or page can contain the get-post markup
as follows:
[get-post tag=some-tag]
This will be replaced with the latest post tagged with the given tag.
Parameters
The parameters control which posts are retrieved by get-post. Options can be
used in combination to build a list of criteria for post or posts to retrieve.
By mixing criteria, you can exert a lot of control over the post(s) which are
found by the plugin.
[get-post tag=some-tag random show=3]

category that doesn’t exist…

Changelog
2.0.0 5-Jun-2011
- Rewrite of internals. The option parser is a lot more powerful. The new
design makes adding new options simpler. - Plugins that affect post content should be correctly rendered now.
- To a very limited extent, you can use get-post recursively. (If you do,
please email me a link or let me know what you’re doing with this.) - Adding several optional parameters to the parser tag – category, tag,
random, show. - Switching to a template system rather than hard-coding the HTML for the post
display.
