I was working on this possibility 3 monthes ago. But I haven’t yet finished it. When I will have more time this will be done.

WordPress automatically adds paragraphs to your text. You can just wrap your code with <div>.

Yes. Just read this page. If you add time_since="1" parameter to Date shortcode you will get what you want ??

As I understand – WordPress tries to calculate sizes proportionally to original image size. So If your image is quadratic then it will ignore one of sizes (width or height) and still try to change size proportionally.

But here you can see, that [frp_thumbnail] shortcode supports “size name”. So it will work perfectly if you insert such shortcode – [frp_thumbnail size=”thumbnail”].
But how can you define your own sizes? You can use Simple Image Sizes plugin. It will allow to create new size and all images will be precached with this size.

So steps to resolve this issue:

1. Download Simple Image Sizes plugin.
2. Go to Settings->Media page and add new size name (For example – “post-widget-thumbnail“) with required width, height and crop settings.
3. Go to Appearance->Widgets page, edit FRP widget and add [frp_thumbnail size=”post-widget-thumbnail”] such shortcode.

Yes. This is bug. I have fixed it. You will see this update in new version.

Why I don’t want to add such functionality?

1. I don’t like, when widget title mixed with link. Why WordPress’s standart widgets doesn’t have such capability (Recent posts, Categories, Archives)? It’s not so obviously for user, that widget title may be a link. But if you will add underscore to title text – it will be obviously, but look bad.
2. User must not be confused, when looking on widget options. So less options – clear for user.

Please, add this request here. I will think one more time about it.

qTranslate plugin must work perfectly without any plugins :).
I will add filters to FRP, so you can create yor own plugin, that will add integration with Polylang. I think, that hardcoding usage of other plugins is not good. There are more plugins for multilingual blog and I can’t hardcode integration with each of them. So it’s another plugin’s job.

If you have some skills in PHP – you can add WordPress filter to set excerpt length before widget will be shown. You can read about this here. But if you will do all this stuff like in example – all your posts’ excerpts on page will have the same length. So you must apply this filter before widget display and remove it after render.

1. Just go here and you will see, that top blogs don’t use such feature.
2. Titles and links are two different entities. You have not mix them.

Hi, Jing :).

There is no such capability at this time. But you can request it here.

Ok, I will think about this feature. At least I will add more filters and actions, so everybody can make it’s own plugin, that will extend the functionality of FRP.

Can you explain your case with 4 widgets more detailed? I don’t understand what do your widgets display and how many posts do they have?

As I see from your patch – you simply save all displayed posts in global variable and then exclude these IDs in next widget’s query. But explain me the case where it may be necessary.

It’s not good practise to use widget title as link to anything.

As workaround you can just add space ” ” symbol to widget “Title” option and check option to show all posts link near the widget title.

ant385, I have just created 2 categories and added 3 posts to one of them and 2 posts to another on my test platform. Then I added new widget, chose the first category with 3 posts and setted number of posts to 2. And all worked perfactly. Maybe you missed something?

Hi, Susanne.
No, plugin doesn’t support using it on pages or posts.
You can add you idea here and I will add this functionality in the next version.
