 * No idea what’s up, but it seems to be working… Maybe there was a cache/sync issue
   somewhere in the chain…

 * _What is the proof for that?_
 * Well, there’s two bits of proof:
 * 1) The navigation indicator when I go to the blog section is highlighting the
   home tab which indicates to me that the internals of WP think that the radical-
   ideas page is the home/index.
 * 2) This one is easy… The template file radical-index.php is well, radically from
   the index.php template. I insert the static content of FOOBAR in the template
   for radical-ideas and the word FOOBAR is nowhere to be seen on the page.
 * Again, if I create another page, say foofoo and assign it the radical-ideas.php
   based template it DOES pick up the template.
 * The issue/bug seems to be that if you set a page under Options>Reading>Front 
   page displays that page will not pick up the template specified in the manage
   >pages>template.

 * I posted a question to the forum earlier today about the exact same thing. I’m
   pretty convinced there’s either a bug in the post page template process or the
   documentation is incorrect.
 * I have a static home page (essentially) with it’s own template and it works fine.
   But the file I choose for the posts page refuses to be anything other than the
   default index.php based template.
 * Page only has a title, a blank content area and is assigned a template called“
   radical ideas.” The slug is radical-ideas. The template file is radical-ideas.
   php. the radical-ideas.php template is just a duplicate of index.php with a few
   formatting changes.
 * Everything should be set up correctly but it does not work.
 * I know there’s some issue out there that has to do with these “static” pages 
   specified in the Reading tab like homepage and posts page having some issue with
   not retrieving the posts and needing an additional query to get them loaded. 
   I don’t really get it, but all the official docs indicate that you should be 
   able to just duplicate the index.php template and use that duplicate as teh template
   in the write>page>template dropdown.
 * But it doesn’t work.

 * _That’s the first big mistake. You should never ever try to access directly a
   template file. Ever._
 * Thanks fo rthe quick response…
 * I know that. I navigate to the _slug _of radical-ideas. The page that is the 
   slug is set up with the template that is radical-ideas.php
 * When I go to edit the page “radical ideas”, the template drop down is even showing
   that it’s assigned to the template file I pasted in above (i.e. radical-ideas.
   php) but the page is not rendering on the display site with that template.
 * I seems to be set up properly AFAICT…

 * What’s even more weird is that if I create a new page, say posts-page, and assign
   it the template of radical-ideas.php in the write page editor, the page shows
   up with the correct (but apparently broken) template!
 * [http://radicalpowersports.com/posts-page/](http://radicalpowersports.com/posts-page/)
 * I can’t figure out why i can’t get the radical-ideas page to even pick up the
   template!
 * Of course if I do I’m stuck with the issue of why the template is only showing
   one post…
 * I’m going nuts here!!!

 * Did anyone find a fix for this plug in?
 * I don’t even see the code mentioned by rdourado in the code I just installed.
 * My issue is that I can install, activate, and modify the plug-in, but the version
   displayed on the site does not reflect the conditions of the control panel in
   the widget area.
 * For instance, I give it a title of FooBar, and while in the widget control area
   it does indeed display FooBar after I save the widget, the actual plugin as displayed
   on the site does not display that title…
 * Is there another plug in for this? I can’t believe this is the only category 
   sidebar plug in out there but I have not found another one.

 * I figured it out… I just commented out the clear in the ngg-clear selector like
   so:
 *     ```
       .ngg-clear {
       /*	clear: both;*/
       }

 * > Start with a look at Customizing_the_Read_More
 * So I’ve read that page a few times now, and unless I’m missing something, or 
   just completly retarded, I don’t see how I would use that to replace the […] 
   bit with something else that is actually linked to the full post, **unless** 
   I manually include that <!…more…> tag in my post.
 * However, that _the\_excerpt\_reloaded_ totally kicks ass!
 * Now I can get images, etc. in my excerpts and everything! Whee!!!
 * Thanks folks!
