Check out the example section: [http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/06/30/plugin-get-custom/#examples](http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/06/30/plugin-get-custom/#examples) * The last example describes how to do what you want. You would need the plugin, obviously, and a simple tweak to your index.php. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [cannot show the comments](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-show-the-comments/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-show-the-comments/#post-123569) * Perhaps re-obtain the latest code from CVS? A recent bugfix ( [http://mosquito.wordpress.org/view.php?id=606](http://mosquito.wordpress.org/view.php?id=606)) probably solves this problem. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [All I want for Christmas is a little help](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-a-little-help/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-a-little-help/#post-121154) * Someone (perhaps you) recently posted a similar request at the [Category Image(s) plugin’s homepage](http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/06/27/plugin-category-images/#comment-336). I suggested a solution there. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Posts to become “extended” as they move down?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-to-become-extended-as-they-move-down/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-to-become-extended-as-they-move-down/#post-120285) * Another alternative: In index.php, look for `start_wp();` and change it to: ` start_wp(); $ext_count = 0; $extended_after = 5;` The value of 5 indicates how many posts you want as full; change it to whatever you prefer. Then look for this: `
And make changes such that it looks like this:
Though I haven’t tested it, this should make the first 5 posts of your blog appear in full, then any subsequent posts will appear excerpted (i.e. shorter). Triggering the excerpt by the age of the post is also just as easily possible. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [text replace plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-replace-plugin/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [21 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-replace-plugin/#post-117326) * If you search this forum for “headers already sent” you’ll see that you had space before the opening ``, which caused your error. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [get_recent_posts and Post Limit, Category Filters](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/get_recent_posts-and-post-limit-category-filters/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/get_recent_posts-and-post-limit-category-filters/#post-101330) * You might want to try the [Customizable Post Listings](http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/08/27/plugin-customizable-post-listings/) plugin. You can have it list only posts from a certain category, and you can customize the output (i.e. show the date before the name of the post, like you want). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Category Icon Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-icon-plugin/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-icon-plugin/#post-58565) * Have you tried the [Category Image(s)](http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/06/27/plugin-category-images/) plugin? If your category was named “blah/blah”, the associated image name would be “blahblah.jpg” (or .gif, or .png). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to combine author- & category-tags?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-combine-author-038-category-tags/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-combine-author-038-category-tags/#post-95333) * You could try the [Customizable Post Listings](http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/08/27/plugin-customizable-post-listings/) plugin. With it you can identify author(s) and/or categor(ies). Doesn’t help you with permalinks though. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [The (more…) -tag](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-more-tag/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [21 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-more-tag/page/2/#post-44586) * Something like the [Hide or Cut Post Text](http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/07/25/plugin-hide-or-cut-post-text/) plugin? Where text between `<`!–cut–> and `<`!–/cut–> aren’t shown on the non- permalink pages (i.e. all pages except for the post’s single page), and you get a link like the “(more..)” link instead of the cut text? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [quicktags make me lose my place](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quicktags-make-me-lose-my-place/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [21 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quicktags-make-me-lose-my-place/#post-90664) * Darn auto-logout.

The [WordPress Wiki Plugin page](http://wiki.wordpress.org/Plugin) is a good place to find plugins. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Currently Reading plugin for menu](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/currently-reading-plugin-for-menu/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [21 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/currently-reading-plugin-for-menu/#post-89972) * I just released v2.0 of [Get Custom Field Values](http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/06/30/plugin-get-custom/). Among other things, it now includes the function `c2c_get_recent_custom()` which will retrieve recent custom field values from **outside** the loop. I haven’t formally announced it yet, but have made it available and would like to know if it works well for others. Please let me know if you give it a try. (Note for those using older versions of this plugin: I’ve changed the function name` get_custom()` to `c2c_get_custom()`, so you’ll have to update your calls to function in index.php if you upgrade.) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Using images for category listing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-images-for-category-listing/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [21 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-images-for-category-listing/#post-86689) * Could you post an URL to your site? I’m still not clear on precisely where you have your images. Assuming you are using the cat-images/ subdirectory from your latest post, this is what you should have in your index.php: `

The change you say you did to category-images. php isn’t necessary (and may be problematic). Try all this with an unmodified copy of the plugin. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Using images for category listing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-images-for-category-listing/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [21 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-images-for-category-listing/#post-86687) * Assuming what you’ve said so far about image type (gif) and location (/wp/images/),( where /wp/ is the absolute location to the root of your blog) then the HTML you posted should be: `
