Hi Random-Post-Box author,

I am also a plugin author of Better Backgrounds and have found this plugin is causing bugs for mine. I have made the fix and hope you can incorporate this into the next release:

On line 57 of random-post-box-load.php
it has the line:
unset($_SESSION['rpb_last_post']);

My plugin is using SESSION to know if the user has already visited the website. So in this plugin, using the “unset” command actually deletes all the cookies. The correct implementation I believe would be:
$_SESSION['rpb_last_post'] = NULL;

Thanks!

Formatting such as italic or paragraphs from the article are not taken over.

How can my desired formatting is displayed?

How can I include thumbnail, title and excerpt all at once, instead of just the title or just the excerpt??

Hello!

I find myself confused…

Having (not enough) experience in creating custom loops, and the functionality your plugin provides is almost exactly what I’m looking for, can you tell me why your code works offline but not online?

It’s quite happily ticking away on Firefox 4 as part of my testing rig; but now the code is in ctspro.co.uk it refuses to work.

I have inserted <?php random_post_box(); ?> into an include that in turn governs what’s in my sidebars.
I have pasted the code into the code-block that governs what happens when there is no dynamic sidebar; still no dice.
I have tried attaching the shortcode [random-post-box] into a text widget (something which I would like to suggest as a feature BTW), but again no joy.

I have also deactivated a plugin that I thought could be conflicting, but that hasn’t worked either…
