    I’ve noticed that if I remove the MPU,
    <?php rotating_posts(mpuwon); ?>
    but leave in the topbanner and skybanner, the top banner will still rotate between two posts (although there are three), but the skybanner still doesn’t rotate.

    I have upped the ‘Number of posts’ in RP admin to 30, but this has had no effect.

    I’ve also tried pasting [rotating-posts category_name=”topbanner”][etc]
    into the pages, but the same thing happens

    I’ve found a work around. This is not a pretty solution, but it works.

    Essentially, the problem was that each banner was given an id, but these were the same id’s in each instance of the banner – so the first top-banner was id=”rp_post0″, and the first sky-banner was also id=”rp_post0″.

    To get around this, I made a copy of these four files:
    rotating-posts.css
    rotating-posts.js
    rotating-posts.php
    rp_admin.php

    I renamed them and put them back in the SAME location:
    rotating-sky.css
    rotating-sky.js
    rotating-sky.php
    rsky_sky.php

    Then, using BBedit I did a search and replace of every instance of ‘rp_’, ‘posts’, ‘Posts’, and ‘POSTS’ and replaced them with
    ‘rsky_’, ‘sky’, ‘Sky’, and ‘SKY’ (after checking the Case sensitive option in bbedit).

    There are two other bits you need to rename:
    function load_scripts()
    function load_styles()
    change to:
    function load_scriptsSky()
    function load_stylesSky()

    I’m not really php literate, so I’m sure there’s a better way of doing this, but I thought it might be worth posting until somebody posts a better solution.

    This plugin does not support having multiple instances on the same page.
