   Hi
   Great plug-in!

   When I only had one rotating post (the top banner) it was working fine, but since I have added a skyscraper and an MPU, they've all stopped rotating.

   The site: http://www.greenlivingmagazine.co.uk/about-us

   I'm using these tags to place them in the php:
   <?php rotating_posts(topbanner); ?>
   <?php rotating_posts(skybanner); ?>

   Thanks
   Jack

   more...

   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.
