Adding plugin to sidebar file in WordPress
So im in the middle of creating a site with WordPress but now Im stuck at the sidebars.
In sidebar.php-file I have added some text and CSS rules as a test and they are shown at the site as a sidebar. However, I want to show the forum's latest posts in this sidebar instead.
Im using a plugin called "tt post viewer". I tested it out on a page at the site and it shows me the latest post.
But im not sure what code I should add to the sidebar.php-file so that the plugin print the latest post at the sidebar.
And if it's possible?

Would be grateful if anyone could help me out.
Thanks!
yours sincerely, Winterwind
