How to show recent pages not posts

    Hi all,

    I’ve been trying to get my home page to show recent pages and not posts but since I have no idea how to change the code can someone help me? I’ve been searching online for days and can’t find the answer :-(.

    I’m using the Alizee theme that nicely shows recent posts in 3 columns but I’m using pages not posts. What do I need to change in the following php code to have recent pages displayed instead of posts?

    <?php

    class Alizee_Recent_Posts extends WP_Widget {

    // constructor
    function alizee_recent_posts() {
    $widget_ops = array(‘classname’ => ‘alizee_recent_posts_widget’, ‘description’ => __( ‘Display your site’s recent posts with thumbnails.’, ‘alizee’) );
    parent::WP_Widget(false, $name = __(‘Alizee: Recent Posts’, ‘alizee’), $widget_ops);
    $this->alt_option_name = ‘Alizee_Recent_Posts_widget’;

    add_action( ‘save_post’, array($this, ‘flush_widget_cache’) );
    add_action( ‘deleted_post’, array($this, ‘flush_widget_cache’) );
    add_action( ‘switch_theme’, array($this, ‘flush_widget_cache’) );
    }

    // widget form creation
    function form($instance) {

    // Check values
    $title = isset( $instance[‘title’] ) ? esc_attr( $instance[‘title’] ) : ”;
    $number = isset( $instance[‘number’] ) ? absint( $instance[‘number’] ) : 5;
    $show_date = isset( $instance[‘show_date’] ) ? (bool) $instance[‘show_date’] : false;
    ?>

    <p>
    <label for=”<?php echo $this->get_field_id(‘title’); ?>”><?php _e(‘Title’, ‘alizee’); ?></label>
    <input class=”widefat” id=”<?php echo $this->get_field_id(‘title’); ?>” name=”<?php echo $this->get_field_name(‘title’); ?>” type=”text” value=”<?php echo $title; ?>” />
    </p>

    <p><label for=”<?php echo $this->get_field_id( ‘number’ ); ?>”><?php _e( ‘Number of posts to show:’, ‘alizee’ ); ?></label>
    <input id=”<?php echo $this->get_field_id( ‘number’ ); ?>” name=”<?php echo $this->get_field_name( ‘number’ ); ?>” type=”text” value=”<?php echo $number; ?>” size=”3″ /></p>

    <p><input class=”checkbox” type=”checkbox” <?php checked( $show_date ); ?> id=”<?php echo $this->get_field_id( ‘show_date’ ); ?>” name=”<?php echo $this->get_field_name( ‘show_date’ ); ?>” />
    <label for=”<?php echo $this->get_field_id( ‘show_date’ ); ?>”><?php _e( ‘Display post date?’, ‘alizee’ ); ?></label></p>

    <?php
    }

    // update widget
    function update($new_instance, $old_instance) {
    $instance = $old_instance;
    $instance[‘title’] = strip_tags($new_instance[‘title’]);
    $instance[‘number’] = strip_tags($new_instance[‘number’]);
    $instance[‘show_date’] = isset( $new_instance[‘show_date’] ) ? (bool) $new_instance[‘show_date’] : false;
    $this->flush_widget_cache();

    $alloptions = wp_cache_get( ‘alloptions’, ‘options’ );
    if ( isset($alloptions[‘Alizee_Recent_Posts’]) )
    delete_option(‘Alizee_Recent_Posts’);

    return $instance;
    }

    function flush_widget_cache() {
    wp_cache_delete(‘Alizee_Recent_Posts’, ‘widget’);
    }

    // display widget
    function widget($args, $instance) {
    $cache = array();
    if ( ! $this->is_preview() ) {
    $cache = wp_cache_get( ‘Alizee_Recent_Posts’, ‘widget’ );

    return;
    }

    ob_start();
    extract($args);

    $title = ( ! empty( $instance[‘title’] ) ) ? $instance[‘title’] : __( ‘Recent Posts’, ‘alizee’ );

    /** This filter is documented in wp-includes/default-widgets.php */
    $title = apply_filters( ‘widget_title’, $title, $instance, $this->id_base );

    $number = ( ! empty( $instance[‘number’] ) ) ? absint( $instance[‘number’] ) : 5;
    if ( ! $number )
    $number = 5;
    $show_date = isset( $instance[‘show_date’] ) ? $instance[‘show_date’] : false;

    $r = new WP_Query( apply_filters( ‘widget_posts_args’, array(

    <?php else : ?>
    <?php echo ‘<div class=”col-md-12″>’; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <h4>“><?php get_the_title() ? the_title() : the_ID(); ?></h4>
    <?php if ( $show_date ) : ?>
    <span class=”post-date”><i class=”fa fa-calendar”></i> <?php echo get_the_date(); ?></span></div>
    <?php else : ?>
    <?php echo ‘</div>’; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
    </div>

    <?php endwhile; ?>

    <?php echo $after_widget; ?>
    <?php
    // Reset the global $the_post as this query will have stomped on it
    wp_reset_postdata();

    endif;

    if ( ! $this->is_preview() ) {
    $cache[ $args[‘widget_id’] ] = ob_get_flush();
    wp_cache_set( ‘Alizee_Recent_Posts’, $cache, ‘widget’ );
