Hi Guix69,

Sorry to hear that. The only way that would be possible is if you placed your custom template(s) inside the FPW plugin folder.

That’s why the instructions ask you to create a folder called flexible-posts-widget within your theme’s folder and place your custom templates inside the current theme.

Are you using a custom HTML template for the output of that widget? Or, I should say, you must be because the HTML that is being generated doesn’t match the standard output that is generated by the plugin by default. I’d take a look at what template you’re using in that instance and you should see the comments code in there.

Cheers!

Hi digibobdeluxe,

Thanks for the feedback. However, your question really has nothing to do with the FPW plugin. The taxonomy listing layout is part of your theme’s design. FPW only shows a collection of posts in your theme’s sidebar/widget area.

I’d suggest either finding a WordPress developer who can help or taking a look as some of the WordPress theming documentation.

Cheers!

Thanks for responding, czargyle!

Nacncy, you would need to add some styles to your theme’s stylesheet to accomplish this. The example czargyle offered would work perfectly.

Cheers!

I’m going to close this thread as I haven’t heard a response in over 2 weeks. Please feel free to reopen it if I can be of any help.

Cheers!

Hi zsoltmolnar,

You are correct, the widget doesn’t work with Page Builder. This is due to the limited way widgets are currently implemented in WordPress core being different than how Page Builder implements them.

I’ve got a new release in the wings that *may* resolve this, but for now, FPW only works in the Admin > Appearance > Widgets screen.

Thanks!

Hi Clearday,

Glad you were able get it figured out! Remember to put any template customizations in your own custom HTML template which will keep the changed from being written over if the plugin gets updated.

Thanks again!

Ah, you are right. Ordering is still applied when you get posts by ID, but there is no option to show them in the order you specific on the ID tab. So the current, correct answer to your original question is actually, no, you can’t set a “custom” order within the widget.

Sorry, I I’ve never even considered this scenario until you brought it up today. Right now you could filter the FPW query args (using the dpe_fpw_args filter) and set the orderby to post__in per the Codex.

The difficultly with this is you’d only want to filter the one instance of the widget that is using the get posts by ID tab. It would look something like this (not tested):

function dpe_filter_fpw_pid_ordering( $args ) {
	if( isset( $args['post__in'] ) ) {
		$args['orderby'] = 'post__in';
	}
	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'dpe_fpw_args', 'dpe_filter_fpw_pid_ordering' );

I’ll add this functionality to the next release of the plugin. Thanks for point it out!
