It would help if you gave a link to the site showing the problem.

A link to where the problem is showing?

Hi, Just edit the template in the admin page.

Yes there are plans. The next release will support selection by categories|tags|post_types or any combination there of. However before I realse, I want to also revamp the templates so that you can have multiple templates editable via the admin page.

Ah yes, the upgrade originally did not look in the correct place. but it should do now. The thing that triggers BIB to look for your default file is that the HTML textarea on the template page is blank. Therefore if you delete the contents of the template textarea, you should find, after saving the page that the textarea has been now correctly repopulated.

Can you try that please?
Thanks
Tim

Hi Joy,
Excellent news.
The template copied to the text box on the admin page is the template named as a file on the old bib admin page.

If you go to /wp-admin/options.php on your site and look for bib_post_template as the option name, you will see the name of the file that would have been looked for. This may not be the same as that in your shortcode?

The template setting in the shortcode is used only for that shortcode instance, and not saved to the database.

You’re right, the old template being in the plugin directory was a pain because it would get deleted, hence having the template in the database now.

Hi,
I have rolled out a version 1.0.5.
You can now (under the misc tab) chose to have all options shown on one page if you prefer.

Thank you for highlighting the issue with the template file not being found. I think I have fixed this in this version, but I would appreciate you putting it to the test.

Hi,
This is resolved in version 1.0.4.
Many thanks for the heads up.
Tim

Hi Joy,
These issues are addressed in version 1.0.4 of the plugin.
many thanks.
Tim

Ok, fix released as version 1.0.4. give it a whirl and any feedback, contact me direct. These forums are rubbish for actually alerting plugin developers that there are new posts related to their plugins ??
All the best,
Tim

Hi, I’m working on a fix for this, but as you’ll note from the supported version, 3.1 isn’t supported as yet for this very reason.

Thanks

I suspect in this case (having emailed with Adriantevan directly, and hearing his solution), that the theme he was using was using a non standard method to get posts, so the wordpress filter being used by Blog-in-Blog was being bypassed.

Hi Sean,
Do you have an example website where I could see the effect you describe?

This should be fixed in the latest version.
Thanks
Tim

Drop me a line with a link to the site where you are seeing issues and I will see if I can assist.

Thanks
