In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Works with current versionHi Jeal,
Thanks for the review. Yes, you’re correct – versions 3.0 & 3.0.1 were released with a bug that didn’t properly ignore the taxonomy & term query if a taxonomy was selected but there were no terms selected from within that taxonomy. That should be fixed as of 3.0.2 (just released).
Sorry about that and thank you for the review!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] PHP error in widgetHi angelfish276,
I just wanted to follow up and see if you’re still getting PHP errors. I’d love to hear if everything is working better now, with version 3.0.1.
Thanks!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Disaster after upgradeHi thiakick,
I’m sorry to hear that you lost your custom templates on upgrade. That’s certainly frustrating. It’s happened to me in the past with other plugins as well.
However, the plugin already supports a method for allowing “upgrade safe” custom templates (it has since the very first version). FPW’s documentation clearly states that you need to make a folder in you current theme’s directory called
flexible-posts-widgetand add any custom templates there, not in the plugin’sviewsfolder.There will always be the potential that future plugin updates will overwrite the templates within the plugin
viewsfolder. This is a fairly standard method for allowing custom view templates and many plugins work this way.Sorry again for the frustration,
DaveE

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Exclude posts by IDHi Csaba,
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll add it to the feature request queue. For now, you could accomplish the same thing by using a special category, tag or other taxonomy & term and only map the posts/pages you want to that term. Then, get posts from that term with FPW.
Cheers!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Image thumbnails helpHi rewedy,
Unfortunately, the FPW plugin doesn’t produce any
<span>tags at all, so I really don’t have anything to go on here. The best I can tell you is that FPW doesn’t add or create any styles, so any “incorrect” styling (whitespace) you see would have to be adjusted via your theme or another plugin’s styles.Again, without being able to see the issue, I really don’t have a better explanation for you.
Sorry I’m not more help. 🙁

I’m not aware of anyone who has done this. I can add it to the list of feature requests and see what it would take. Good idea!
Thanks!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] How do I get rid Line in the center of the listing.Hi rtfox,
That “strike through” is actually a background image that appears to be applied to all heading tags. It’s set on line 179 of your styles.css file:
background: url('images/hr-bg.jpg') center repeat-x;So, it’s not really related to the FPW plugin but to basic heading styles in your theme.Cheers!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Changing the link colorsGlad to hear you were able to figure it out. Nice work!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Changing the link colorsGood to hear! Yes, I’m thinking I may adjust the default template in the future so it uses a more traditional (X)HTML4 structure as supposed to the current HTML5 structure. Sorry for the trouble.

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Changing the link colorsHi Silvermane,
Without a link to preview the issue it’s hard to say why the links are still black. I’m guessing this is because the default FPW template includes heading tags (such as an
<H4>for the post title) and your theme may style them differently (with black) than with generic<a>tags. Try adding a CSS declaration like this:.dpe-flexible-posts a h4 {color:red;}to see if you can make the links red.Hopefully that helps,

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Center Images In WindgetHi emceeenthusiast,
The widget doesn’t handle styling (including image alignment). This is intentional, to prevent any widget-specific styles from overriding theme styles that are already in place.
The easiest way to accomplish this would be by editing your theme’s stylesheet with the alignment you’d like to use. An example solution for this might be:
.dpe-flexible-posts img {display:block; margin:0 auto;}Hopefully that get’s you started in the right direction. Cheers!

In reply to: [The Events Calendar] [Plugin: The Events Calendar] Event Permalinks FlakyHi all,
I just wanted to follow up on this issue. It appears the permalinks problem was actually related to the Redirection plugin’s “URL Monitoring” feature. Apparently there is a bug that forces the redirection plugin to redirect an event’s permalink in a weird way when updating anything about the post, not just the the slug. And, since the slug isn’t changed on update, but there is a redirection in place, things get wonky. Very weird.
Turning off the URL Monitoring feature of the Redirection plugin has fixed this issue.
Sorry for the “false” report
Hi draivika,
The best solution for this would be to customize the plugin and create your own query to handle this. The plugin doesn’t naturally work that way.
You’d be editing ‘flexible-posts-widget.php` and setting up an advanced query that can get posts from the current tax/term and another tax/term while also excluding other tax/terms. See this article for a discussion on advanced taxonomy queries: http://ottopress.com/2010/wordpress-3-1-advanced-taxonomy-queries/.
