Must Read Posts

Retrieves posts (or pages) with a certain custom field (e.g. to permanently show your most recommended posts in a widget) and displays them in a list. The plugin uses a custom field named must-read if it exists in a post or a page. If the field exists in a page or post and has the value true, the post automatically will be shown in the widget.

Use it as a Widget

If your theme supports widgets, simply drag it to your sidebar. You can specify the maximum number of posts to be shown in the widget. You can also change the widget’s title to something like “Most recommended posts”, “FAQ”, “Read first”…
