Possible to list recently created/updated Pages?

Can you define “recently?” ;)

At present you would have to build a custom query and loop for this:

<?php
$limit = 5; // how many recently modified Pages to display
$pages = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * from $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type='page' and post_status='publish' ORDER BY post_modified DESC LIMIT $limit");
foreach($pages as $post) : setup_postdata($post);
?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_modified_date(); ?>

<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

This definitely works, thank you!

Kafkaesqui,

This is exactly what I have been hunting for, but can you take it one step further and have only retrieve recently updated/modified children and grandchildren pages of a certain parent page?

Thank you for any help!

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out!

Is there any way to check each page’s previously modified date with the most recent modified date and only show those pages?
