In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Support for multiple languagesHi lmartins,
Right now I don’t believe FPW is compatible with Polylang or WPML. I hope to make it compatible in the near future though. Sorry for the trouble!
Hi Gorge_85,
It looks like you are using a customized HTML output template. The default template included with the plugin already wraps both the image and the post title in a link. The current output shows that there is an extra link tag added around the image. Thus, the outer link is being ignored (closed early).
Here’s the code as it is in one post from your site’s FPW output (titles & links truncated for brevity).
I would suggest re-installing the plugin or just downloading the plugin to your computer and replacing the built-in
views/widget.phpfile on your host with the correct, downloaded version.Cheers!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Sidebar widget broke after last updateHi Cotelouis,
I’m sorry to hear that. It looks like you created a custom HTML output template (widget-content.php) and placed it inside the FPW plugin’s
viewsfolder instead of in your current theme as the instructions state.When this or any plugin is updating, files inside the “core” folders may always be overwritten. That is why plugin developers ask customizations be placed within your theme’s folder.
If your custom HTML output template does exist in the
flexible-posts-widgetfolder within your theme, then we’ve got another issue to deal with. Let me know if the view is there but isn’t showing up.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] DW Focus themeHi drwrieden,
FPW doesn’t have any built-in styling. If you’re comfortable making style updates to your theme, I’d suggest poking around at the underlying styles used on the CHNL7700 site. They would provide a lot of helpful direction for making your listing look like those.
Otherwise, I’d suggest hiring a solid WordPress developer to handle the style adjustments needed to accomplish this.
Cheers!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Not able to exclude category from index?Hi Garaiburu,
FPW is only a widget. It doesn’t do any kind of filtering/storing of posts that are displayed in the main “loop” or listing of posts on your Blog or in a Category.
You’d need to use a different tool or plugin to filter/hide/remove posts categorized as “News” from the default Blog listing as this is not a standard for WordPress. By default the Blog index is desgined to show all posts, regardless of category, tag, etc. FPW doesn’t change this; nor was it built to do so.
Cheers,

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Post ID orderHi StreetDog, this is an issue with all of these plugins being too “loose” with which queries they re-order. Basically, the plugins aren’t limiting their reordering code to the main query or any other limiter. *Every* query that matches the post type or taxonomy that you have “custom ordered” with these plugins will be affected, even the queries generated by FPW.
There isn’t any way for my plugin to “undo” the query adjustments those plugins are making. I’d suggest using a better custom sorting plugin. My preference is always the ordering plugins from NSP Code (they are paid, but very powerful and well coded).
Cheers!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Adding CSS classes to the WidgetThis would be possible with some custom coding, yes. It’s not currently a feature of FPW.
I recommend using the Widget CSS Classes plugin for this purpose. It allows you to add a CSS class to any widget.
Cheers!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Widget in sidebar appearing incorrectlyHi Lois,
Per the documentation, FPW doesn’t provide or “do” any styling whatsoever. This would be an issue with your theme’s styles, not FPW. You’d need to either edit your theme to correct this or contact the theme creator for support.
In this case, FPW is functioning correctly, but the theme isn’t styling widgets in the sidebar properly.
I’m sorry I’m not more help.

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Widget in sidebar appearing incorrectlyHi Lois,
I’m not sure I understand your question. This is what I see when I browse the site link you provided: http://pbrd.co/1s6UHhm
This is working perfectly and styled to match your theme. The post’s that have the term ‘Invasive Species’ will be listed out as a bulleted list under the title of the widget (Invasive Species in this case).
Did you have a different expectation for this?

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] ErrorHi madeirajp,
This sounds like there is some bad data in one of the widget fields or another plugin or theme is trying to manipulate queries too heavily.
- What settings do you have selected in this widget?
- Have you tried deleting this specific widget and creating a new one?
Remember, the Get Posts by ID option only works with a comma separated list of post ID’s other data in that field will either be dropped or cause you problems. Here’s an example:

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Post ID orderDouble check. There is an option called Post ID and also one called Post ID Order. Make sure it’s Post ID Order.
I’m confident that it is working. I just tested again using a default site build with TwentyFourteen. If it still isn’t working, then there must be a theme or plugin filter overriding the query.

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Post ID orderHi StreetDog,
You’ll want to set the “Order Posts By” setting to Post ID Order. It’s the last option for the “Order Posts By” setting.
Cheers!
