Title: Few plugins needed… Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Few plugins needed… * [archas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/archas/) * (@archas) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/few-plugins-needed/) * 1. First of all, i want to have 5 artices on my index page, but there have to be only introductions + links “more” to general articles. I would write this introductions. Ofcourse i want to have another news page. Is there any way to do that? 2. I downloaded stick post plugin, turned on it, but i don’t know how to do my post sticked 🙂 3. I need “Do you know…” and “Sentence…” fields, which have to display ranomly from list just done before. 4. Nice gallery, forum, latest( recent) posts from forum, recent news, poll – with these, i suppose, there will be lesser problem. If someone knows any good plugin from this list, please give me the names :). * thanks:) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 19 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/few-plugins-needed/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/few-plugins-needed/page/2/?output_format=md) * [webdressing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webdressing/) * (@webdressing) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/few-plugins-needed/#post-534745) * Lots of plugins [here](http://wp-plugins.net/)… * Thread Starter [archas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/archas/) * (@archas) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/few-plugins-needed/#post-534922) * yeah but i cant find some of these and i want you to give me the names of good plugins pt 4. * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/few-plugins-needed/#post-534924) * 1) on your theme’s index.php, consider using [the_excerpt](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt) in place of [the_content](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_content). * 2) Without knowing which plugin you tried, no way to respond. Try [WP-Sticky](http://www.lesterchan.net/wordpress/2007/03/01/wp-sticky-100-beta-2/)? * 3) Not sure I follow * 4) Search here for the forum name you like and “integration”. Tons of posts. Some good posts recently about bbPress and WP integration that should be easily found. * Thread Starter [archas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/archas/) * (@archas) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/few-plugins-needed/#post-534927) * yah, thanks. 1) how to view articles on my index, not even news? should i add only another category for news? * 3) would work like viewing some text in sidebar, randomly generated from list of texts. * update: i used excerpt, works well. but how to increase my 55 limit of words? and how to add *more* link * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/few-plugins-needed/#post-534929) * Some tweaking for the_excerpt can be found on the link for it I provided earlier. However, for more flexibility, I’d suggest [the_excerpt_reloaded](http://guff.szub.net/2005/02/26/the-excerpt-reloaded/) plugin. * Thread Starter [archas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/archas/) * (@archas) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/few-plugins-needed/#post-534932) * works great, thanks alot. where can i define number of posts in each category? * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/few-plugins-needed/#post-534934) * By default, that’d be Options -> Reading. However, that value applies to ALL pages. * If you want some categories to show more posts than others, you’ll want another plugin. 😉 * Try this one: [Custom Query String Plugin](http://mattread.com/projects/wp-plugins/custom-query-string-plugin/) * Thread Starter [archas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/archas/) * (@archas) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/few-plugins-needed/#post-534940) * ok last question i think.where can i set thing to have in my index page only posts from one category? * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/few-plugins-needed/#post-534944) * Another plugin! Two to choose from as I’m not sure which is best with 2.1.x * [Ultimate Category Excluder](http://www.fidgeting.net/ultimate-category-excluder/) [Category Visibility](http://ryowebsite.com/?p=46) * Thread Starter [archas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/archas/) * (@archas) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/few-plugins-needed/#post-534950) * i cant find a plugin which would do the ‘members’, ‘users’ or something like that category. there should be photos and simple descriptions of people who helped making the page. * Thread Starter [archas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/archas/) * (@archas) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/few-plugins-needed/#post-534973) * Update: where can i change names of levels? in my language translation (polish) there are some bugs. * [Doodlebee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doodlebee/) * (@doodlebee) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/few-plugins-needed/#post-534974) * I apologize, but I have to say this: * [Codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page) is your friend. Read it. Love it. Have children with it. Whatever. But all of your answers are there. * Thread Starter [archas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/archas/) * (@archas) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/few-plugins-needed/#post-534979) * [http://codex.wordpress.org/User_Levels](http://codex.wordpress.org/User_Levels) i don’t see where can i change names of levels. i dont also see [here](http://codex.wordpress.org/Sandbox ) how to add a background in post… * [webdressing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webdressing/) * (@webdressing) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/few-plugins-needed/#post-534982) * You could probably do that with CSS. * Try _background-image:_ URL here; * Thread Starter [archas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/archas/) * (@archas) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/few-plugins-needed/#post-535005) * first of all i want to have background in 1 post only. so i added a post in code:
