Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, I’m traveling at the moment and don’t have access to IE9 for testing purposes. I’ll try to get it figured out when I get access to IE9 again.

Hi thanks for a simple nice example.
However when viewing this menu in IE9 the UL is vertical instead of horizontal

After a little research, I decide to rewrite my plugin using the WP_Query class rather than the $wpdb object. Rather than running a SQL query directly, it uses the standard WordPress query methods. I believe the “posts-per-page” setting in the new plugin code should restrict the amount of data pulled from the database. Let me know if you have any issues with the new version. Also, I credited you in the changelog: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/latest-posts-by-author/changelog/

That’s a really good point. I’ll have to look into that and get back to you.

Hey, thanks for the great plugin! Everything is working well. I just had a quick question.

I am concerned about performance for an author that has a large number of posts. The MySQL query seems to grab all of the author’s posts, then loop through until the iterator reaches the value of $show, then break the loop. To increase performance and only grab what you need from the database, can’t you add “LIMIT $show” to the end of the query (line20), and drop the for loop altogether? I don’t know if this is possible (I don’t work much with MySQL queries when it comes to WordPress, just wanted to throw it out there).

Let me know your thoughts, and thanks again!
