Here’s the plugin code:

This is the HTML that appears on my page:

<li id="endo_wrc_widget-2" class="widget widget_endo_wrc_widget"><div class="widgetblock"><table class="float-center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><iframe style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=ss_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=skewsmecollec-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=0060110163&asins=0060110163&linkId=HCN5QAO5FL3WLXX6&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe><iframe style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=ss_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=skewsmecollec-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=0374534241&asins=0374534241&linkId=NP67RZIKALC35K2O&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p></p>
			</div></li>

Implementing an ‘all’ parameter to supplement pagination would be nice since Codium Extend lends itself to long posts.

I haven’t tried using the shortcodes yet within the blog posts. My issue is with the widget not showing random content posts randomly.

The widget seems to only show one random content post, and it seems to choose between the two I have so far such that when I’m logged in one appears, but when I’m logged out the other appears.

If I set it to show two of the random content posts, then it shows both at the same time which isn’t what I want.

I added the (‘showposts’ => 1) into the function call right after (‘orderby’ => ‘rand’) but that didn’t fix it.

I even checked the added stuff from the random video plugin I have. There don’t seem to be any name clashes.

It looks like it boils down to your WP_Query (orderby’ => ‘rand’) which I don’t know the first thing about.

Hmm… I logged out of WordPress, closed the tabs showing my pages, left for awhile, and when I got back 10 minutes or so later, the older saved post is showing, but only it is, and apparently not switching randomly between them. Then I log back in, and it’s back to showing the most recently saved post. I logged out again, and it’s showing me the 2nd, older post.

Logged in most recent. Logged out the older one.

I suppose I should try adding a third post to the group and see what happens before my server locks me out for unusual activity with a 999 error.

I’ve heard of Jetpack having issues with other widgets on different threads. I’m sorry I can’t be more specific other than it wasn’t the non-Jetpack widget’s fault.

Mary, Create a free AKISMET account, and you’ll receive your own Key instead of using Yahoo’s. Then set up your WordPress to use it.

How did the W3 Total Cache installation go?

Right now I’m not running a cache since I don’t want to keep deleting all the cached files while I’m updating stuff, but after nearly hosing my blog uninstalling my previous caching and then again installing the All In One WP Security, I’m a bit tentative adding it without guidance.

Now it seems to be working… Not sure what was wrong.

I manually inserted the subdirectory to the src= link, but that’s just a kludge to get it to work.

I use this in my “Insert Headers and Footers” plugin header script

body { background-color:#b22222; }
#wrapperpub { background-color:snow; }
#content { background-color:snow; }

I put the nextpage quicklink and it does nothing.

When I first installed Codium Extend, the Menu’s HOME link was hard coded into the PHP and difficult to customize. With an upgrade, HOME vanished from the PHP and therefore required me to edit the Menu from the Control Panel to re-add HOME.

At the same time, tweaks I had made to the CSS file went *poof* too, so I started using an old Add to Header plugin to put my changes to CSS, JavaScript, etc., outside the theme code.

I should really implement a child theme as well, but I still need the Add to Header to override other plugin style sheets and such.

Hope this helps.
