    Anyone know of a plugin that automatically let you make a summary/round-up post where you list all the posts from the previous week?

    As I post a lot this is a bit of hassle to manually.

    This is all I could find:
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/instant-weekly-roundup/screenshots/
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/popular-this-week/
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/best-posts-summary/

    If you add this to functions.php, it will create a shortcode that lists the weekly archive links.
    Simply create a page and put [weekly_archive] in the post area.
    
    /**
     * Adds a shortcode to show a list of weekly archives
     * Usage: [weekly_archive]
     */
    function weekly_archive_shortcode( $atts, $content=null, $code="" ) {
    	wp_get_archives('type=weekly');
    }
    
    add_shortcode( 'weekly_archive', 'weekly_archive_shortcode' );
    
    Code (markup):
    You could also create a weekly archive template and then setup a page to use it.

    Thanks a lot for the help!

    That code seems to list all previous weeks in a post. Is there a way to make just list the posts from the previous week?

    Wish I had used more time on studying how to code :)

    You're welcome :)

    There is but it involves a lot more code, checking dates and excluding posts. Yeah, it's really not worth the hassle if you're happy with the plugin.
