In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Post filter isn't usable – Layout issueHi Nnet,
Sorry to hear about the trouble. I’ve verified that FPW does work with WP 4.3 without this issue. I would suggest clearing your browser cache. If that doesn’t help, I would suggest disabling other plugins and themes one-by-one to see which one might be causing a conflict.
Thanks for using the plugin!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] First name instead of usernameHi secureserver,
FPW doesn’t do anything with comments, so I’m not sure how your question related to this plugin. I would suggest checking the WordPress template & function documentation for help with this issue.
Cheers!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] 4.2.2 lost any ability to select post type/tax/idHi Sarah,
This sounds like an issue with another plugin conflicting with FPW. I would suggest disabling plugins one-by-one to see which one might be causing the conflict. It may also be a theme causing the issue, so you might try switching those as well.
Thanks for using the plugin!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Custom filed integration?Hi TheThree,
FPW has hooks available for you to be able to adjust the query parameters. There is no reason for you to rewrite the whole query. If you just add your custom parameters through the
dpe_fpw_args
filter instead of rewriting the value of$flexible_posts
with a completely new query, you’ll not loose the settings that are configured through the widget interface.Using hooks in WordPress is a fundamental feature of the platform. if you’re unsure how to use them appropriately, I suggest reading up on the topic in the Codex.
Cheers!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Breaking out of TemplateHi Shonu,
I don’t completely understand your question or issue. If you examine any template provided with FPW, you can see where the widget output begins:
echo $before_widget
and where the widget title is outputted:if ( ! empty( $title ) ) echo $before_title . $title . $after_title;
You are welcome to move that (and the
$after_widget
output) within the$flexible_posts->have_posts()
check if it suits your needs. In fact, you are welcome to customize the output of the widget any way you’d like. If you create a new template file, and make it empty, the widget will display nothing: no wrapper, no title, no output. There is nothing preventing you from being able to hide the widget output when your settings result in no posts. I don’t understand what you’re unable to accomplish with your own template.Sorry for the confusion.

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] list-style-type: square; Not aligning with list itemHi blctech,
I’m sorry you’re still having trouble. However, the output I see on your site currently isn’t using the default template. It’s using a custom template of some sort that is still using newer markup (putting a
<div>
inside an<a>
). You’d need to adjust your theme’s styles or your custom template’s output to get the bullet points to display properly. Sorry I can’t be more help.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Alignment issues post thumbnailHi snvital,
I’m sorry, but I don’t quite understand your issue. I took a look at the site and the center sections appear fine. In any case, you’d want to adjust your theme styles to fix any alignment/layout issues. FPW doesn’t do any styling. It only outputs HTML within your theme.
Thanks for using the plugin

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] dynamic taxonomy term?Hi Bryan,
To accomplish this you’ll probably want to add a filter to the FPW query. Take a look at the documentation for available hooks.
Cheers!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Conflict with Radio Buttons for TaxonomiesHi Michelle,
I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve not used the radio buttons plugin before. I’ll have to take a look at why they don’t work together. As a work around, I’d suggest disabling the radio buttons plugin while you are configuring FPW instances and then you can always re-enable the radio buttons plugin after your FPW instances are setup. Not ideal, but it should at least get everything working in the interim.
Thanks for using the plugin!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Show category under post title.Hi Only1watchdog,
There is not built-in functionality for this. However, FPW is built intentionally to allow users to create their own output templates such that you could very easily add this functionality yourself.
Cheers!

In reply to: [Flexible Posts Widget] Breaking out of TemplateHi Shonu,
This is how WordPress widgets work in general. In other words, there is no “template” portion to the widget container markup. That’s all driven by WordPress core functionality. To work around that, you’d need to look into adding custom CSS classes to your widget containers. There are plugins and articles that will allow you to accomplish this.
Cheers!
