In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Excluding postsHi jamesosix,
The plugin doesn’t include any categories by default, so I’m not sure what you mean by excluding a category. Or, if you’d like to get all posts posts from any category except one category, you could create a term/category that you apply to all your posts except those in the category you want to exclude and just choose that new category from the taxonomy & Term tab.
Cheers!
Thanks for this, iamcanadian1973. For reference, I generally use the plugin Widget CSS Classes to accomplish this for all widgets.
Cheers!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Want to sort after "Last revision date"Hi AlwaysEnthusiast,
That’s currently not possible with FPW out of the box, but I can certainly add it to the list of feature requests. Adding this capability to a future release won’t take much, so I should be able to do it shortly. Thanks for suggesting it.
Cheers!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Different Widget StylesHi mrandre2u,
It sounds like your theme restrictive in how it handles the styling of content. You’d need to adjust the theme stylesheet (CSS) files, not the PHP files to allow those styles to be applied to more than just the built-in widgets.
FPW has some existing CSS classes that you could add to your themes stylesheet such that they would carry the same styling.
Cheers!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Thumbnails off to the rightHi atticon40,
It looks like you might be using a different plugin/widget to display the posts on your site’s sidebars now; but in any case, FPW doesn’t do any formatting or styling of the displayed content. Your theme styles would manage that.
Cheers!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] most popular by custom field valueHi The Three,
You’d need to filter the query arguments using your custom meta data essentially writing your own query to accomplish this. There is a filter in place to allow this kind of functionality:
$args = apply_filters( 'dpe_fpw_args', $args );Cheers!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Add Read More link after excerptHi estrylez,
As Roway13 mentions, you’d want to create a custom HTML template and then add the code:
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read More...</a>after the_excerpt.Cheers!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Target categories dynamicallyHi desirelabs,
That’s not built into the plugin currently, no. However, you could use the existing query args filter:
$args = apply_filters( 'dpe_fpw_args', $args );to adjust the query to your liking.I’ll add it to the list of feature suggestions. Thanks!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Feature request: Options to hide widget if zero postsHi jeffrod,
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll add it to the list. The easiest work around is to just use a custom HTML template. Hopefully that will work for you.
Thanks again!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Problem with Widget on Category ArchiveHi pxlar8,
I’m sure that FPW works fine in category archives just as it does on index and landing pages. I can’t know for sure what is causing this, but I would have to guess that there is some code somewhere in one of your other plugins or themes that is “hacking” the main query to loosely and therefore also hacking the FPW query.
I would start diagnosing it by disabling your plugins and/or active theme to see if one of these will resolve it. If you’ve completely disabled all other plugins and are using a default/system theme (TwentyTwelve, etc) and are still having the same trouble, let me know and I can look into it further.
Cheers!
Hi kari.m,

Hi catia.rocha,
FPW will pull posts from any public post type when using the ID’s. However, the posts do have to be Published in order to appear. Private & Draft posts (from any post type) won’t get displayed.
Cheers!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Eclude current post in the listHi whoaloic & Paul,
At this time, the plugin doesn’t offer this feature. You could use the query args filter,
$args = apply_filters( 'dpe_fpw_args', $args );to filter out the current item, but it would require some coding on your part.I’ll add it to the suggestion list for future consideration. Thanks!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Shorten path when page and content title is the sameHi succli,
I’m not sure how this is a FPW question. You’d probably be better off searching for an answer for this question in the general How-To and Troubleshooting Forum.
Cheers!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] PagingHi shinyoku,
There isn’t paging is built into FPW. You’d need to hack the plugin to get paging to work.
Sorry!
