Does anyone know where in the stylesheet to place it? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Danae on "Recent Posts Plugin options are broken in 2.7" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/269796#post-1071336 Mon, 11 May 2009 21:49:28 +0000 Danae 1071336@http://wordpress.org/support/ I'm ready to beat this plugin to death with my keyboard. It's listed as compatible with Wordpress 2.7+ when...it isn't. The plugin itself will activate and display, but all configuration options are broken, rendering it useless. The error I receive when I attempt to access the "wp-admin/options-general.php?page=recent-posts.php" page it's trying to direct me to is "Cannot load recent-posts.php." I've tried it on three separate installs so far with no luck. Is there a fix for this? Or an alternate plugin? I need to be able to display only one specific category in my sidebar. I'm willing to wade into template tags if absolutely necessary, but I haven't found any that seem promising. djquinn on "Get Next 5 Posts from the Current Post" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/231529#post-1046006 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 22:55:16 +0000 djquinn 1046006@http://wordpress.org/support/ Hey wow, I didn't even see your reply!

But for some reason it then adds all articles of the same author below it. Is there a way to display just the 10 most recent posts? Try to explain it a little more. Right now it looks like this: 1.) article I author1 (most recent article) 2.) another article of auhthor1 3.) another article of author 1 ... 10.)another article of author 1 ______________________________________________ I'd like to display it like this: 1.) Most recent article I author1 2.) article before most recent one I author2 3.) article before this one I authorX and so on... How can I configure that?

Right now you can click on each authors name and it brings you to the author's page. Is it still possible to keep the link then?

RIght now I am doing it like this: <code><?php wp_list_authors('show_nickname=1&feed=rss&optioncount=1&exclude_admin=0'); ?></code> But yeah, it obviously doesn't do what I want to do :-( . How do I set a limit=10 and display the authors with the most recent articles at the same time.

If that's the case, you'd better doing this in your index or header file, you need to check when viewing a singular page and include the content when true.... This would remove the issue you're having by including query_posts in single.php.... I think.. :-s danaherlihey on "summary of recent posts in single post template" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/245668#post-992172 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 04:03:29 +0000 danaherlihey 992172@http://wordpress.org/support/ Hi, I'm trying to include a summary of recent posts from a specific category to appear in a single post template. So far I have: <pre><code><h1>Latest News</h1> <?php query_posts('category_name=news&showposts=4'); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <a class="title" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Read the feature article: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <?php global $more; $more = false; ?> <?php the_content(' Read More'); ?> <?php $more = true; ?> <?php endwhile; ?></code></pre> This is followed by the loop for the regular single post. The problem is that it shows 4 full posts in the single view instead of one (obviously because of the showpost) any suggestions?
