    @jstudham – BNS Featured Category is not specifically designed for mobile. I would actually expect the theme to manage the mobile view of the images over the plugin specifically. There is also no specific cropping in the image, it would be using the core functionality of WordPress over anything else in particular.

    You may need to look into your “mobile” style to better suit what you are looking for although your current implementation does look very good to start with.

    Thanks!

    @keeperbay – Depending on where you are referring to with the “Author box” and how much of the theme’s functionality you use there are likely two different approaches:

    Look at each template and what is displayed in the “single” view and/or look at the output in the class.OpusPrimusAuthors.php file around this line:

    ../wp-content/themes/opus-primus/includes/class.OpusPrimusAuthors.php:447

    Thanks!

    ~Cais.

    PS: Either way, I would recommend creating a child-theme of Opus Primus to make any modifications you might choose to do.

    @dorysp – The plugin uses this to hook into the footer (which would generally put it into the bottom of the page, or “footer area”):

    add_action( 'wp_footer', array( $this, 'BNS_Add_Widget_Hook' ) );

    Theoretically you could swap out the wp_footer handle with any public facing action hook and have the plugin put the widget area into that hook’s “space”

    Sounds like some interesting experiments ahead of you … it’d be great to read what you come up with.

    @petrizzo – Have you tried the offset option to start the posts being shown later than the last ones? The default is 0 (zero) which means it starts at the latest post but you can set it to a value that skips over the first posts that you want.

    @l-in-j – There is no specific option to sort by title, nor anything specifically addressing the sort order in such a fashion but since BNS Featured Category essentially uses a standard “loop” to display the posts that meed the query created by the options you should be able to use the bnsfc_query hook to completely over-write the query in general.

    I added the hook just in case someone wanted an option that was not, or may not, be added to the plugin … it would seem you have provided a justification for that Mallory-Everest bit of code. Thanks!!

    You may have to do a bit of code tracing but if you follow the logic you will see all the items within the plugin’s widget() method … just look at the $query_args statements to see what you may or may not want to put into your new WP_Query call.

    Thanks, again!

    @merkucio – I’m not able to reproduce this issue … what troubleshooting steps have you tried? I would suggest starting with re-installing a fresh version of the plugin to see if there may have been a corrupted file as I do not see how this error could occur either at the moment.

    Thanks!

    @wwpress101 – I really cannot say without more information … perhaps a link to a screen shot of the settings you are using in the widget; or, maybe a link to the site where you have activated the plugin and inserted it into a widget area?

    @hsinister – The layout issue you are describing is most likely due to your theme and how it would be interpreting a widget’s output in the content area … you might look at adding side-by-side widget areas to the theme?

    As to the plugin only working correctly when using the category numeric ID as the reference, this is by design currently. There is no built in support for using category slug(s).

    Thanks!

    @hsinister – I see that you have the plugin installed but I am not seeing anything on your site that appears to be related to the questions you have, can you provide any additional details?

    @meijin2k – Generally you will need to be looking at how your theme handles its responsiveness in the footer area. The only styles applied to the BNS Add Widget plugin is to center the “credit text” if the widget is installed by not put to use.

    It would probably be best to work with your theme’s author to assist in writing the necessary @media-query statements to make the output you are adding to the widget area be more responsive … or possibly even with the authors of the other plugins you are using with this one, especially if they are generating output to the screen.

    Thanks for asking!

    @andrew

    We may need temporary log in (and FTP) credentials for your WordPress installation, please consider those for your Bug Report, too.

    I’m not specifically asking for credentials to the user’s site, I am suggesting they keep it in mind as it may be necessary and I would rather have that happen off these forums no matter the case.

    As it is, I recommend a Bug Report be submitted any time I see the issue as not being solvable within the confines of these forums (which unfortunately the complete and near utter lack of tools here makes this a very common event).

    @kinectasia – Your theme does not use aside for its widget areas, it appears to be using section … otherwise you appear to be targeting the elements correctly.

    You should be able to apply some custom CSS to the following element:

    a.bns-smf-feeds.rsswidget { ... }

    This anchor tag contains the widget title’s text.

    Otherwise, as in many cases custom CSS may need to have some additional specificity due to the theme, a link to where you are using the plugin / widget would likely be useful in offering further suggestions.

    Plugin Author Edward Caissie

    (@cais)

    @vlindersflap – Thanks! The alt text is not usually displayed but if you add and/or change the existing code to include a title property for the <img> tag it will show as a tool-tip item.

    I don’t plan to make that change to the plugin, but I will consider adding a filter so you can modify the <img> tag output to include that yourself.

    Look for that in the next release, I’ll put a @todo into the plugin momentarily as a reminder.

    Thanks, again!

    ~Cais.

    PS: I added a Mallory-Everest filter hook bnscl_image_tag_alt_title to the working version on GitHub if you are interested in playing around with it.
