How to display latest 5 events?

Do you mean the five most recent past events, or the five nearest upcoming events?

both options can be good :

a) either first five or user defined
b) or last five or user defined

The plugin can retrieve the 5 nearest upcoming events quite easily. You’d use the following settings:

• Retrieve events from: 00:00 today (or maybe “Now”, depending on your requirements.
• Retrieve events until: The end of time.
• Maximum number of events to retrieve: 5 (or how many you require).

The plugin can retrieve past events, but not specifically the 5 (or whatever) most recent past events.

thanks for the reply.
