Comment:

 I've taken a pass at cleaning up the patch a little. There were a number
 of typos that broke the code, but I believe it now works more-or-less as
 advertised.

 Someone with better knowledge about internal WP APIs needs to audit this
 to make sure the logic makes sense. I left most of the logic as
 nprasath002 had it, assuming that he had good reason for why he did
 things.

 Before this goes in, I think it would make sense to add additional filter
 options; currently only 'post_type', 'numberposts' and 'offset' are
 supported, but we should probably expand that to include most of the valid
 filters to wp_get_recent_posts (category, orderby, post_status, include,
 exclude, etc.).

 There's also a lot of duplication between this and mw_getRecentPosts.
 Duplication is generally a problem in this file, so I'm not sure if that
 is intentional or a side-effect of incremental development.

 Given the preference to not go with the approach in #16316, I think we
 definitely need a wp.* method to allow filterable retrieval of posts.
