I’d like to display only “recents” posts and not the other 2 tabs (popular and comments). I tried to modify popular-posts-widget.php but without success… how can I manage it?

Thank you for your answer and your great support!

I think it would be easier to use some plugins such as one we are using to display recent posts on [Travelify demo](https://colorlib.com/travelify/). I am using [Recent Posts Widget Extended](https://wordpress.org/plugins/recent-posts-widget-extended/) and it gets the job done and it doesn’t require any coding to instal and configure it.
