discovered that by default custom templates used the h3 tag for the titles. I did not like this so I removed them and it restored the original look i was looking for. I would recommend setting default settings to not use the h3 tag as this can cause issues with custom WP templates. other than that, great product. My only recommendation would be a little easier customization of the layout for the feeds.
Here are the custom templates i am now using:
<!--Combined Multi-Feed Layout -->
<div class="hungryfeed_item">
<b><a style="font-size:12pt" href="{{permalink}}">{{title}}</a><br/>
<div>Posted: {{post_date}}</div>
<div>Author: {{author}}</div>
<div>Source: {{source_title}}</div></b>
<br/>
<div>{{description}}</div>
<br/>
</div>
<!--Single Feed Layout with Author -->
<div class="hungryfeed_item">
<b><a style="font-size:12pt" href="{{permalink}}">{{title}}</a><br/>
<div>Posted: {{post_date}}</div>
<div>Author: {{author}}</div></b>
<br/>
<div>{{description}}</div>
<br/>
</div>
<!--Single Feed Layout without Author -->
<div class="hungryfeed_item">
<b><a style="font-size:12pt" href="{{permalink}}">{{title}}</a><br/>
<div>Posted: {{post_date}}</div></b>
<br/>
<div>{{description}}</div>
<br/>
</div>
thanks for sharing your templates. yea, i need to make the custom template code and the “default” hungryfeed output consistent. better documentation is always on my todo list as well 😉
with the new “mustache” functionality in the templates you could actually do all 3 of those templates as a single custom template and then create parameters for yourself. there’s some examples here http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hungryfeed-code-injection
