## Description

By default, the built-in Recent Posts widget in WordPress only allows you to
 display
up to 15 recent posts max, even if you specify a larger number. This is hard-coded
into the WordPress core so any modifications you make would have to be redone upon
every WordPress update.

No longer!

The Recent Posts Widget Unlimited functions exactly as the built-in WordPress
 widget
but without the 15-post restriction. You can now specify an unlimited number of 
recent posts to display without resorting to modifying the WordPress core.
