In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] No post foundHi Francisco,
Sorry for the delayed response on this. It’s virtually impossible for me to diagnose your issue with the amount of info you’ve provided thus far. However, since your widget isn’t working both with FPW and other “similar” plugins, I have to guess that something else is causing the issue, not FPW.
If you can provide more info (what settings you have checked in the FPW, access to a live test case, etc) I may be able to help further.
Thanks for trying out the plugin!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Sort by custom date fieldHi Joel,
Sorry for the delay on this. To accomplish this you’d have to customize
flexible-posts-widget.phpin the functionwidget. Basically you’d need to add your custom date field query arguments to the$argsarray before thenew WP_Query( $args )call.Right now there isn’t a way to adjust the query vars in the template file or through a filter. Filtering the query vars in in the works though.
Thanks for using the plugin!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Post Title too big, how can I resize ?Hi Mark,
FPW uses an H4 heading as the “flow” of headings in a default WordPress sidebar makes an H4 the best heading value for the document outline. In other words, a default WordPress sidebar will generally mage widget titles an H3 and thus post headings within a widget should be an H4.
The sizing/styling of headings (including an H4) are controlled by the theme’s stylesheet. So, if an H4 looks too big, you’d want to adjust the font-size for H4s in widgets for your particular theme. I can’t really offer any specific code examples without knowing the specifics of your site/theme.
hopefully that makes sense.

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Removing BulletsHi Jessica,
In your case, the theme styles are getting a higher priority than the styles you added to the theme’s custom CSS override. This should work instead:
.widget-area ul ul.dpe-flexible-posts {list-style:none;}Cheers,

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Possible to filter out current post/page from list?Hi khromov,
FPW doesn’t have that capability at this point in time, no. I’ll add that option to the list of feature requests. Sound good?

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Get posts by authorHi Leviticus,
By author is not an option currently available in the plugin. I’ll add it to the list of feature requests. Sound good?

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Working with WPML?Hi Hung,
I haven’t had a chance to dig into this. I’m sorry, but I’ve been really busy with work and FPW is a free plugin that I provide to users without any warranty.
Debugging the compatibility issues with WPML isn’t something that I can easily tackle since it will require actually setting up WPML, learning how it works and then debugging what may or may not be causing issues.
For clarification, are you trying to check categories from several languages (English & Vietnamese) in the same widget? I’m not sure if that will be possible since WPML only gives access to the selected language’s categories when using that language. To FPW, English categories don’t exist when you’ve selected Vietnamese or vice-versa.
I’ll keep this ticket open and down the road I’ll try to take a look at it again, but for now, I just can’t give it the amount of time needed to thoroughly investigate. Sorry!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Working with WPML?Hi Hung,
I haven’t worked with WPML in the past, so I can say what the issue might be. Could you get me login credentials for the website you’re working on and I can take a closer look at the issue? The best way to get me login credentials is by sending me a message on Twitter: https://twitter.com/dpellenwood. Follow me, I’ll follow you back and then you can send me a message with the info.
Thanks!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Want pages as categories, posts in cats on sidebarHi Will,
FPW isn’t setup to pull posts from a category you are currently viewing automatically. FPW pulls posts from a category (or other tax & term) specifically-selected when you configure the plugin. You’d probably want to find a widget that gets posts from the same category as you are viewing instead of using FPW.
However, you could manually accomplish this by creating a separate sidebar/widget-area for each category and then configuring a different FPW for each sidebar that is specific to that category. This certainly is not ideal since it requires a lot of manual configuration if you have a lot of categories.
Hope that helps,

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Taxonomy not showingOkay, that makes more sense. 🙂
Unfortunately, FPW is specifically designed to show posts (Posts, Pages, Products, what have you) based on a set of criteria (post type, tax & term, etc). It isn’t designed to display terms. I’m not sure if there might be another widget out there that does that, but it’s not really in the scope of this widget.
Sorry I’m not more help,

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Taxonomy not showingHi udapud,
I’m not sure I fully understand the issue.
Are you saying that when you choose the “Brands” taxonomy from the Taxonomy & Term drop-down in the widget, you see the your products (CPT) as the options to select from or do you see a list of the terms you created within your “Brands” taxonomy?
If you’re seeing your products there and not the brand terms, that would be strange indeed. If that’s the case, it would be helpful fo me to be able to see the actual wp-admin where this is happening. Could you get me access to wp-admin on the site where this is happening?
Thanks!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Perfect but I also want schrollingHi Iwoods,
To accomplish something like this, you’d need to add some CSS styling to your theme’s styles. You could use FPW’s
ul.dpe-flexible-postsas the wrapper that you would apply the styling to. Something like this:.dpe-flexible-posts {overflow:auto; height:200px;}should do it. Of course, you’ll have to adjust the specifics to fit with your theme.Cheers,

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Newsflow?Hi zebrastribe,
You could accomplish this a couple ways. The quickest to implement would be to actually use to separate FPWs. The first would should your first two posts and the second (after your other widget) would so the 3rd & 4th post, using the offset parameter.
The more complex, but stable solution would be to create your own custom HTML template for the one FPW and in that template, pull another sidebar/widget in the middle of the FPW loop.
Cheers!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Removing BulletsWith this as well, you’d want to edit your theme styles. Again, I may be able to help with a public link, but otherwise, I’m in the dark. :\

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Remove extra white spaceHi AppDucate,
The styling you mention is related to the theme in use, so it would be necessary to edit the theme’s stylesheet to fix the styling. Since I’m not sure what styles are being applied that create that spacing, I can’t really give you any direction on how to change it.
If you can get me a link to a site that I can review with this styling in place I may be able to help more. Cheers,
