Been away for some time recently, so not had a chance to explore this.
Thanks for the additional info.

hmmm. thanks for the bug report. i’ll see if I can reproduce and fix.

Hi katemgilbert, I don’t know how technical you are, but…

You can amend the blog-in-blog template that is used to show posts. look for the post_permalink. Within the anchor tag add a target attribute. something like this.

<a href="%post_permalink%" target="_blank">linkytexthere</a>

Now, doing that may offend some web developer purists, and so you may also want to read this for some additional info.

Hi , You can already specify a custom post type. Adding the custom taxonomy is taking a bit longer to work out.
Will let you know if/when I can add custom taxonomies. This is on my TODO list.

Thanks
Tim

Yes, it should work in WP3.2.1 as that is what I am currently running on the dev machine.

You’ll need to give any error messages that you get. try turning on the debug feature of the plugin and seeing if you get anything. (should be a textarea in the footer of any page showing a BIB shortcode.

Silly question: you have actually got some content for the chosen category etc?

Tim

Hi, you can do this by removing the author avatar part of the template from the blog in blog template options.

I’m not seeing any posts with a leave a response section… send me a link with the affected info and I will try to have a look.

Tim

Hi,
That is correct. Only use in pages. otherwise there would be an infinite loop created if the post you try to display was in the category that your post was.

Version 1.1 will be checking for such a condition and giving an error message.

Thanks
Tim

So this should be fixed in version 1.1 which will be released shortly (within a couple of hours of this post ?? )

Hi arudd,
Thanks for the idea. I’ll just add classes to the spans rather than using the style attribute, then people can style/hide them as they wish. that’ll be in the next release (1.1). Also I have used more specific/descriptive classnames to avoid css classnames clashing (e.g. bib_next_link bib_next_link_inactive )

Cheers
Tim

Thanks,
I’ve added it to my list.
Glad you find it useful.

1. Disable all plugins, add blog-in-blog – still see problems?
2. Then add back each other plugin used until problem shows.
3. Then tell me which plugin is conflicting.

good idea, will be in the next version.

There has been less interest in the imagemenu plugin, and thus no time to write documentation. the main reason why it is on wordpress plugins is because that is the easiest way to deploy it.

It has not been extensively tested (beyond one specific use case), so you may have come across some un-found issue.

If it is still an issue for you, let me know the detail and I will see what I can do.

Sounds like you want to really be creating some special templates within your theme.
Blog in Blog is not designed to do anything more than show some stuff in the main content area.

I use it on several sites, one being https://timhodson.com.

1. create a page in wp as your welcome mat.
2. in wp reading settings, make that page your home or static home page.
