I love this plugin – but it’s getting a bit buggy with each new WP release.
Is an update on the way? It has been 5 years – I see the plugin author responded to someone just 4 months ago though.
]]>Hello
I have been using this plugin for a long time and would like to continue using it. Because it is very slim and abolutely fulfills the purpose.
But now it is so that the following message appear in debug mode:
Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; miniloops has a deprecated constructor in /xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/wp-content/plugins/mini-loops/widget.php on line 4
Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; miniminiloops has a deprecated constructor in /xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/wp-content/plugins/mini-loops/widget.php on line 82
How can I fix this (future) error?
Will there be an update?
Thank you and best regards
Dani
]]>Although this was not a very user-friendly tool (except for programmers), it was extremely versatile and remained quite useful for many years. However, after upgrading a client site from WordPress 5.3 to 5.6, it finally broke. It works somewhat, but not correctly. Links created in each loop iteration are now left with an untranslated shorcode in place of a specific post name/address, as in “https: / / mydomain.com/[url]”.
Oh, well, I’m pretty sure I got my money’s worth out of it. So, I cannot complain.
However, if anyone knows of or can find a fix for it before I have dispensed with it’s use, I would be appreciative.
]]>Hello,
I am building a site as a dictionary for a Greek dialect. I want to order the words alphabetically but there is a mistake because of the accents.
Example:
1) If the accent is NOT in the first letter, works well.
Ακο?ω
Απλ?
2) But if the second word has an accent in the first letter it changes, but I don’t want this.
?πλα
Ακο?ω
So, what I want is the letters with accent and without accent to be equal and the algorithm to combine the second letter etc
I hope you understood my question.
Thanks,
Giannis L.
PS: sorry for my English

I need a fix or an alternative widget.
Thanks
Hi Miniloops!,
Just an FYI. About 2-3 months ago the plugin stopped pulling the 75×75 images I’d specced.
If I reset the thumbnail-size in the program to a different one, it seems to work, but as soon as I write a new entry it stops working.
It’s like some thumbnail-creation routine is failing or something.
DK if this is new WordPress, or just my LAMP host doing some kind of new free SSL for everyone.
Not sure where this happens, my last area of research ended somewhere aroun line# 615 of helpers.php.
It may be similar to this guy’s issue, too: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/thumbnails-not-loaded-via-https/
Oh well, hope it can get sorted one day.
Cheers!
PS: Checked error_log & the main ones for ML that seem to recur are:

]]>I am using wp-cli on a site that has Mini Loops installed. When I run a wp-cli terminal command, I get these notices:

Everything seems to be running just fine. Alerting you in case it is something that might need attention.
]]>First of all, thanks for writing this plugin. I find it as flexible as a cat.
This time I think I am pushing its flexibility though.
I have a CPT with custom taxonomy. I need to display a particular, different post, of the same CPT and the same tax, in the widget as the main post in a single view only.
In case I am under-explaining it, I need something like:
if single post taxID == Y
then widget content = Title + body from postID == X
Is there a quick way to do this with miniloop codes?
Thank you.
]]>I am a new WP user so this is a dumb question:
I have a series of posts of activities. I have created a custom field in those posts called activity_date. Would I input this date, for example, as 20170328
I’d like the mini loop to display the next 3 activities after today. I think I need to put a bit of code in the Custom Fields box.
How do I do this?
Thanks
]]>The titles of the posts in my miniloop aren’t linking to the posts themselves (although the “after” portion is doing so just fine). They link to the home page instead although I’ve used the [ml_url] shortcode as its href attribute
My loop:
<div class="miniloop">
<h1>Latest News</h1>
[miniloop number_posts=3 tags="4"]
<div class="miniloop-entry">
<a href="[ml_url]"><h2>[ml_title]</h2></a>
<div class="miniloop-excerpt">[ml_excerpt length=100 space_between=1 custom=1 after='More' up_to_more=1]</div>
</div>
[/miniloop]
</div>Otherwise everything has been easy to figure out, thanks for making such a great plugin!

Is there a trick? a thing i an missing ? thanks for the input

Is there any way to hide the widget if it’s empty?
]]>Hi,
I’ve added a bit of code to the plugin to add ‘current-single’ to the classes when on the same single post.
So the result is something like this:
<li class="post-847 post type-post status-publish format-standard category-facts current-single">
Let me know if you’d like to add it to the codebase. I don’t use svn normally. But I can explain the code added.
]]>Hi there, I hope some can help me:
We’ve changed base URL to https (due to German law requirements). On the startpage I call the last posts via mini-loops with this code:
[miniloop number_posts=10]
<ul>
<li>
<h3><a href="{ml_url}">{title}</a></h3>
{image width=150 height=150 class=alignleft}{ml_excerpt wlength=30 up_to_more=1 after= weiter lesen... space_between=1}</li>
</ul>
[/miniloop]Thus the image thumbnails are inserted, only they are enbedded via
src=”https://…” instead of src=”https://…” which results in a security warning of browsers.
I can’t find where I can change the behavior how src-path is written…?
Best regards,

Hello, first of all thanks for this plugin.
Im using it to show my podcast category and I would love to have a shortcode to insert a player in every/each miniloop item. Is it possible?
Thanks again, regards.
]]>Hi!
I’m trying to create a style for the Mini Loops posts via the Item Format field and it constantly globally caches the results, seemingly when things are most messed up in the styling. I was able to fix the image caching by checking out another support thread but things like
tags still seem to persist at some places I had them before but removed them already.
Happens with different browsers and even my friends had the same view than I did, so it’s not just my computer. Any way to disable that caching?
]]>Hi Kailey, I would like to filter by post format. How do I display only post video format with Mini Loops plugin? I did not find the term to insert in the widget.
]]>I imagine the new widget_title doesn’t support URLs in there?
Anyway, this was OK until the last update.
Cheers & keep up the great work, thanks!
]]>Hi
The last version of wordpress changed some things on shortcodes.php, and now the url shortcode is not working.
here are some more details
https://make.www.ads-software.com/core/2015/07/23/changes-to-the-shortcode-api/
I’know this plugin hasn’t been updated for many years, but I thinks it’s a great plugin. Kailey, if you could give it a try it would be awesome.
In the meanwhile, I’ll try to reverse the update, at least by reaplicing the shortcode.php with the old one. It’s located in the wp-includes folder.
Thanks!
]]>Is it possible to remove all html-tags but not the link-tag? Or is there another way to display links in excerpts?
Thank you!
Hi I just updated from a 2 year old version of WP, and now the [ml_content] shortcode is only pulling the content up to the “more” tag of posts. Any ideas how to fix? Thanks!
]]>I am using miniloops but now I want to display the date published in Swedish standard (yyyy-mm-dd).

I have tested several ways.
Hi
great plugin i love it!! ??
but…
i need put a custom field [ml_field name=wpcf-stock-symbol]
in a javascript, but don’t work…
<//script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://www.barchart.com/widget.js?uid=03104bc30c64e606050077f187facd93&widgetType=chart&showChart=true&widgetWidth=396&chartType=LINE&chartColor%5Bline%5D=000000&fontColor%5Blinks%5D=004376&font=1&symbols%5B%5D=[ml_field name=wpcf-stock-symbol]&symbols%5B%5D=&symbols%5B%5D=&symbols%5B%5D=&symbols%5B%5D=&fields%5B%5D=name&fields%5B%5D=symbol&fields%5B%5D=last&fields%5B%5D=change&fields%5B%5D=pctchange&displayChars=”></script//>
any idea?
]]>Hi
Just width=0 or height=0 to not add these two attributes ?
Where is the shortcode and where is the shortcode settings?
]]>For example, if we are using https://example.com, the images are still coming from https://example.com.
Therefore, many browsers give you an alert that there are unsafe parts of content on your page.
Many tools get around this by referencing photos either relatively, or doing //example.com which works and falls back to whichever you are using.
Is there a way to get this changed? Or am I missing a feature that lets me do this already?
]]>I’d like to display the full post and keep the paragraphs in tact. I tried using this shortcode, but all of the text flows together instead of in paragraphs. Any ideas?
[excerpt length=-1 strip_tags = 0]
]]>Hello,
I really like your plugin, seems very well done and customisable.
I have a little problem with sub-categories:
Suppose I have:
– Category 1 (ID 1)
— Sub Category A (ID 2)
— Sub category B (ID 3)
If I’m using this shortcode:
[miniloop categories=”1″]
I will get all the posts from category 1, sub-category A and sub-category B (which is OK)
BUT, if I’m using either
[miniloop categories=”2″]
or
[miniloop categories=”3″]
I don’t get any post
Am I doing something wrong, or is there some other way to request posts from only wanted sub-categories ?
