Hi everyone! Developer of Feature Me here!
As some may have noticed, Feature Me hasn’t had an update in A LONG TIME. A big part of this is because I’m spending all day working on my day job which is building WordPress websites.
Since creating Feature Me, there have been several advancements to WordPress including the addition of the customizer…which Feature Me won’t work on because it was built before the customizer existed.
Additionally there have been several advancements to my own skills and abilities. Looking at the code I wrote nearly 4 years ago proves how far I’ve come!
Feature Me still works…if you only use it from the Widget section haha…
Additionally, updating the plugin causes some issues…1) the code isn’t great and needs to be refactored. 2) Early on, I encouraged people to edit the actual plugin CSS from within their website…which is a terrible idea because it means any time the plugin gets updated all those changes will be lost…
I’ve toyed around with a complete re-write that would include a migration pathway to prevent admins from losing any css customizations they made…but I have no timeline on when or if that would happen.
If you use Feature Me, THANK YOU for using it! If it works for you GREAT! If you are looking to use Feature Me for creating quick CTA’s for your widget areas you can give it a shot, but there are other options out there that can do the job as well that are actually updated ??
Make it a great day!

]]>As title says. I can open the widget but non of the panels operate so cannot input any data ??
Thanks for a great plugin and I hope I can use it again soon.
When debugging another issue, we get the following on the Feature Me plugin.
Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /var/www/vhosts/www.hoofnhook.com/http_docs/web/wp-content/plugins/feature-me/classes/featuremeWidget.php on line 131
Reviewing the code the error seems to be related to $instance->thumb_size in the code the_post_thumbnail($instance->thumb_size, array(‘class’ => ‘featureme-thumb’))
If we have something setup incorrectly, please let me know what we should change.
Thanks

When debugging my site I am getting an error
Notice: wp_enqueue_script was called incorrectly. Scripts and styles should not be registered or enqueued until the wp_enqueue_scripts, admin_enqueue_scripts, or init hooks.
After reviewing the feature-me plugin, I determined the error is coming from line 51 in the init.php file.
I made the following change on my copy:
////wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’);
function add_public_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’);
}
add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’,’add_public_scripts’);
Thanks

Hi…
I would like option to choose color of the button from within the widget. (I did successfully change button color from within css file – but still would prefer that option in the widget with color selector.)
I would like option to select an image that is not the featured image of the page/post. (There are times where I don’t want a featured image in the actual post/page… but would like to have the option to add within the widget the image instead.)
This is a very nice plug in. I do use it. It’s on my “donate list”. But, I would honestly prefer to buy a pro plugin with these features (and any more little things worth your time to develop.)
Please let me know if you consider and do a pro plugin so I can come back and buy it (at a reasonable cheap price like $10 or something per site… I’d pay $30 for up to 5 sites… just giving you feedback… :)… Lordwilling that I have the pro plugin budget prepared for it. (I set aside my budget for support of plug-in authors who make my site “possible” along with the basics of WordPress… and so as long as I have budget… it’s a priority to support plugin authors… just saying… and one never knows what tomorrow holds… that’s why I qualify with Lordwilling.)
Thank you very much for your work on this plugin!

]]>Hello,
Is it possible to resize the image?
In my case: is it possible to make the image smaller?
Kind regards

]]>Are there any hooks or ways to change the output? For example put the image first then the title and then excerpt?
]]>Hi,
I’ve noticed that when I use Https, the link breaks – seems to use some kind of substring to check/construct because it’s missing the : when I look at the source code.
Cheers

This shows on top of the widget page. Didn’t see it yesterday, but could have happened after update to WP 3.9. Any idea what this is?
Don’t have the time to dig around the code. The display of the featured post seems OK, but there is plain text only, no formatting at all for the default excerpt. So am not sure if this error causes this?
Any thoughts?
Hello,
I’ve tried to change the button color via the custom css input and editing the css attached to the plugin but it only changes half of the button. Any help is appreciated.
Kind regards,

Hi there,
Just trying this out but it also shows the words “Select a Featured Page or Post to display” along with the link to the post.
