php - Display recent posts based on post size using IF STATEMENT -

i have sidebar in wordpress shows recent posts. php code simply:

$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts(array("numberposts"=>5)); 

i include if statement say:

"if wordpress post more 100 words, display 10 recent posts, else display 5"

i work out relevant numbers etc. once know how achieved.

you can use global $post inspect length of post_content , set $numberposts accordingly.

global $post; $numberposts = 1; // default number of posts if ( !empty($post) ){     $len = strlen( $post->post_content );     // change $numberposts based on length of $post->post_content     if ( $len < 300 ){       $numberposts = 8;     } elseif ( $len < 500 ){       $numberposts = 5;     } elseif ( $len < 800 ){       $numberposts = 3;     } else {       $numberposts = 1;     } } $recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts(array("numberposts"=>$numberposts));
