In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Settings page not displaying after upgradeThe current base plugin version is 2.04 and the extension is 2.03. I decoupled the version numbers so I could update them independently.
The blank settings page seems to point to a corrupt install on your system. One way to check this is to delete the plugin and the options, then reinstall the base plugin to see if the setting page is present. If it is then, add the extension code and download the extension.
I suspect the problem lies within the base plugin, not the extension, but have no idea what is causing this behavior.
If that doesn’t work contact me webmaster tpginc.net directly

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Settings page not displaying after upgradeThis is the first I have heard of this. One problem might be a conflict with another plugin. The simple way to check this is to disable a plugin and see if the problem goes away.
If you updated multiple plugins at one time, that will narrow your list.
A more robust process is to enable debug mode and see all the errors plugins throw. If you are unfamiliar with how to set debug mode, then this is not the approach for you.
I have checked several sites and none have this problem.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] How to reduce thumbnail size for mag layoutthanks for posting your solution for others to see. The plugin is not designed to output that type of format, but I will consider adding in the future.
For the thumbnail size, that should be able to be controlled in the css.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] text changing between firefox and other browsers?By default the post title is assigned an <h2 class=”tpg-title-class”> tag. There are several ways to change this (1) set the css or (2) set the h2 to another attribute with the title_tag option as
[tpg_get_posts cat="names" numberposts=5 fields="title" title_tag="h4"]I would suggest the second approach. You can use any hx or just a p
Hope that makes sense.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Sticky posts are ignoredYou are correct in the plugin does not recognize the sticky post.
One solution is to create a category ‘sticky-post’ and then add a short code on the page above the reqular shortcode [tpg_get_posts cat=’sticky-post’ numberposts=1]. This will pull the most recent sticky-post.
I have not had time to chase down the sticky-post code and include it in the plugin, so a work around like this is needed.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Can't display thumbnailsI think Steve is correct about the conflict with LazyLoader. A quick look at the LazyLoader plugin seemed to indicate the LazyLoader plugin alters the code for loading images. I have not had a chance to look further at this. Are you running LazyLoader?
Make sure you have added the image as a featured image, as thumbnails are generated from the featured image by WP.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Want to show only one post on pageTo insert the read more break, this is done in the post editor.
Edit the post in Visual Mode. In the top row of icons, just to the right of middle (on my setup) is an ‘Insert More Tag’ icon. Move your cursor to the point in the post you want a break, click the ‘insert more tag’ icon.
This puts a WP tag
<!--more-->in the post. When the post is rendered in the blog list (or my plugin) it will stop at the <more> tag and insert the read-more text.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Want to show only one post on pageI would suggest starting simple.
[tpg_get_posts numberposts=1 ]That should pull 1 post, then you can eliminate category (category info is part of the metadata.
[tpg_get_posts fields="title,byline,content" numberposts=1 ]Also remember if you are using cache, you will need to refresh the cache to force the changes to show immediately

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Remove or Edit more_link_textThe button is part of your theme. If you go to your blog, the standard blog entries format the more text in the button.
You will need to modify your css to remove the button for posts in the tpg-get-posts div.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Can't get more_link_text to workI am not sure what is happening, but if you look at the more tag imbedded in the code it is not the standard WP more tag.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Can't get more_link_text to workDid you insert the more tag when you wrote the post? There is an icon (top row) to insert the more tag at the point you want the post to break.
In looking at your post there is a <span id=”more-107″></span> tag but the WP more tag is <!–more–>
Not sure why the difference

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Exclude current post from listI assume your widget is generating a list of posts? If so, you could use the offset in your widget to skip the number of posts being displayed by tpg_get_posts.
Did I understand you question correctly?

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Generate Title for Entire Set of Poststhe behavior is if the post information is displayed, then no link to the thumbnail is generated. The link is from the post heading. However, if the thumbnail_only flag is set, then a link is put on the thumbnail.
