I was wondering if I needed a custom field to house that, or would I upload using the WP Media Library? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Vote My Post] Add most "voted" to the homepage?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-most-voted-to-the-homepage/) * [mgwaters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgwaters/) * (@mgwaters) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-most-voted-to-the-homepage/#post-4748521) * I am looking for a similar solution. Perhaps some shortcode? to list the posts and sort by up-votes in a descending sort order (highest to lowest) perhaps with a limit value. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[ArtistDataPress] [Plugin: ArtistDataPress] shortcode variable?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-artistdatapress-shortcode-variable/) * [mgwaters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgwaters/) * (@mgwaters) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-artistdatapress-shortcode-variable/#post-3052314) * I can’t seem to limit the number of shows per your shortcode above. The result of the shortcode shows ALL of the shows. I have tried 3 different ways: * [artistdatapress maxshows=4] * [artistdatapress maxshows=4 feedurl=http://feeds.artistdata.com/xml.shows/artist/ AR-904CC0A5BD938C99/xml/future] * [artistdatapress maxshows=4 feedurl=http://artistdata.sonicbids.com/mjs-brass- boppers/shows] * I have set the number of shows in the plugin settings to All, but I am using the shortcode on the homepage and want to limit the number of shows to 4. I am using the iCal Style layout option.

I see that this `` spits out a list of archives. Do I need something similar to populate the drop down list with my categories? This is to go on every page of the site, so both pages and posts. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Styling Sidebar Widget Dropdowns](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/styling-sidebar-widget-dropdowns/) * Thread Starter [mgwaters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgwaters/) * (@mgwaters) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/styling-sidebar-widget-dropdowns/#post-2144869) * Well, I want the dropdown to appear in the header, so I created a widget for the header and used the categories and archives widgets there. I suppose the same logic applies though? I’m not a heavy programmer, is there a reason you suggest the method outlined in the Codex? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Carousel] Carousel for ALL Main Categories](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/carousel-for-all-main-categories/) * Thread Starter [mgwaters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgwaters/) * (@mgwaters) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/carousel-for-all-main-categories/#post-2136982) * sumolari, sorry for the delay in responding, your suggestion of adding multiple instances of a category and setting each instance with a different category and“ number of items = 1” seems to be working! Thank you! It is now showing the most recent thumbnail for each category in the carousel. Now I just need to add the category title along with the thumbnail and I’m all set. I’ll let you know if I have problems with that. Thank you very much for your help. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Carousel] Carousel for ALL Main Categories](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/carousel-for-all-main-categories/) * Thread Starter [mgwaters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgwaters/) * (@mgwaters) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/carousel-for-all-main-categories/#post-2136783) * I Just installed the beta 1.0 and it’s still asking me to populate the Carousel with “posts from a _specific_ category”. If I have 6 categories of say cats, dogs, horses, etc. (as an example) instead of showing 10 entries from the category of cats, I want the carousel to select one post from each. So it would look like * < [cats post] [dogs post] [horses post] > * So, I have not been able to add more than one category to the Carousel. Perhaps I’m just misunderstanding.

Does that make sense? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Carousel] [Plugin: WP Carousel] Custom Fields as Images not bringing up the image](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-carousel-csutom-fields-as-images-not-bringing-up-the-image/) * [mgwaters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgwaters/) * (@mgwaters) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-carousel-csutom-fields-as-images-not-bringing-up-the-image/#post-1713103) * Not sure if this would help you, but I saw this in another post here on this forum: * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-get-wp-carousel-to-display-featured-image-thumbnail-in-carousel](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-get-wp-carousel-to-display-featured-image-thumbnail-in-carousel?replies=5) * Midway down, someone explains a hack that worked for them.
