WordPress.org

Requirement:

I create this plugin for WordPress version 2.9.2. I never test it on lower version, but I think it should work on WordPress version 2.8 that support dynamic sidebar. Right, you also must use ‘widget ready‘ theme.

Installation:

How to install this plugin manually

• Download: download the plugin to your computer
• Extract & Upload: extract the source code and upload it to your wordpress plugin directory
• Activate: login to WP-Admin and activate Highlight Post plugin from Plugins page.

Appearance/CSS:

I did not add any CSS to this plugin. By default, it will use the standard style, as same as “Recent Post” widget. Below are the hint to change the style of this widget.

Just add the code below to your style.

Template CSS:

• #sidebar li.widget_highlight_post {your_code_goes_here}
• #sidebar li.widget_highlight_post span.highlight_separator {your_code_goes_here}
• #sidebar li.widget_highlight_post span.highlight_note {your_code_goes_here}

The Example:

• #sidebar li.widget_highlight_post {}
• #sidebar li.widget_highlight_post a span.highlight_separator{font-weight: bold; color: #999999 !important;}
• #sidebar li.widget_highlight_post a span.highlight_note{display: block; color: #999999 !important; font-size:11px; line-height:100%;}
