[Plugin: Advanced Most Recent Posts Mod] Bug report and fix

There is a bug with the widget when using qTranslate Plugin since it modifies the title content. The Output will be something like

<a title="<!--:de-->POSTTITLE IN GERMAN<!--:-->" href="https://..."><!--:de-->POSTTITLE IN GERMAN<!--:--></a>

Affects at least Plugin-Version 1.6.2 and below. It might also effect other plugins than qTranslate that hook the post title.

Fix
In advanced-most-recent-posts-mod/adv-most-recent.php replace

$post_title = stripslashes($post->post_title);

with

$post_title = get_the_title($post->ID);

This will make the hooks work right.

You should also use esc_attr for the title attribute in the link tag:
<a href="' . get_permalink($post->ID) . '" title="'. esc_attr($post_title) .'" >
