    You can post the line here or you can email me at webmaster tpginc.net. I would be happy to add the code after passing it through my tests.

    At risk of being voted off the internet, I would like to respond to this.

    The doc is provided in the settings of the basic plugin. That’s all there is as far as doc goes. I tried having doc online and got complaints that is was not in the plugin, so all doc is in the base plugin. Examples on how to use the pluging can be found at http://www.tpginc.net/wordpress-plugins/plugin-tpg_get_posts/. The pull down menu shows most of the various options.

    And to sneak in a promo….the extension does allow formatting of byline and metadata. See the examples and look at the doc to see if it does what you need.

    If you have questions to specific to the extension, please contact me directly at my website.

    Compare your code to the examples on the tpg_get_posts website. This does require the activation of the premium version

    I am not familiar with this enewsletter plugin, but from the behavior you describe it sounds like the send process does not check the content for shortcodes. This would be a support question for the enewsletter plugin team.

    Marc:

    In the premium version you can added the following option to the shortcode.

    byline_fmt=” ,dp”

    Note the space before the first comma. This is the separator.
    dp=post date
    dm=post maintenance date

    I am looking at changing this with release 3.0, which should be out in August. It is a bit more involved as I don’t want to break existing sites that might be using the div id to format the layout.

    My approach is to push out release 2.5 which has a ‘freeze’ option so if a site has code which will be broken by the new release, the plugin can be told to ignore any updates.

    I am changing and testing the ver 3.0 and will that will remove all references to divisions or make them unique, but not sure which way will be best.

    If you are interested in a pre-release version to test on your site, contact me at webmaster – tpginc.net. I hope to have it working next week.

    I am adding sticky post function to version 3 which should be out by the end of August 2013

    Derek:

    Look at the source code for the generated webpage and see if the <!–more–> is embedded in the post. The plugin searches for the more tag and breaks at that point.

    As noted above, it appears some themes alter the more tag. The example above changes the tag from <!–more–> to <span id=”more-107″></span> which prevents the function from working.

    When you entered the license code and validated the code, an update button should have appeared to download the extension. Selecting that button will download the extension and install it in the ext folder of the plugin. Verify that the download button is not showing on the options page.

    Sometimes the blank page is a result of a broken parameter in the short-code, so check the code in the text view of the editor to make sure there are no typos.

    If all that looks good, then post your short-code and website and I will take a look. If you want to contact me off this forum, then send an email to webmaster – tpginc.net.

    The layout with the magazine will require some css coding, but that is after you get it displaying.

    thanks for the reminder….This is a problem as the very design which allows the shortcode to be used multiple times on a page will create the duplicate ids.

    The other problem is the plugin has been used in so many sites, I must maintain backwards compatibility.

    I will look at this again. I will be pushing out an update by the end of August and will add this to the list of items to review.

    your theme may set different sizes for thumbnails and you should be able to use any of those sizes specified by the theme. My examples and doc only reference the standard, default wp. You can find the sizes supported by your them in functions.php add_image_size function.

    To pull the 2nd/3rd post, use the offset parameter see the codex.wordpress.com for WP_query it discusses how the offset works, but in general something like numberposts=1 offset=2

    I am targeting an update to be released in mid to late August which will address some of these issues.

    The format of the image over the title & text is not available at this time. The two formats available at this time are the standard post with the image below the by-line and in the premium version a magazine layout where title,and content are next to the image.

    The size of the image is controlled with the thumbnail_size= parameter. See the doc for the various options.

    I am updating the plugin and may offer the featured image format but I will need to look at the impact to the other changes.

    I am not sure what you are asking about, can you provide some context – like how are you using the plugin, shortcode or link to a page.

    Plugin Author Criss Swaim

    (@cswaim)

    Did you try a short code without any options?

    The standard WordPress more tag is <!–more–>

    Look at the source output on the home page and see if the tag is imbedded in the post. The plugin splits the content by searching for <!–more(any characters)–> Can you tell me what the more tag looks like in the post?

    Plugin Author Criss Swaim

    (@cswaim)

    First question is did you insert a ‘more’ tag into the post? You do that on the post with the icon ‘more’, next to spell check by default.

    Try the basic shortcode to make sure it works. Once you have it working without any options, then try
    [tpg_get_posts cat="Blog" numberposts=1 fields="title,content" title_tag="h4" ]
