@Bruno

Seems like I mistakenly erased your comment! –sorry for that
You can get rid of the date by editing the plugin code as follows:
in yd-recent-posts-widget.php, you can comment out lines 126 and 128, or you can edit line 131, removing “$date . ‘ : ‘ . ” just before “get_the_title()”.

I’ll make the date display and format optional in a future option.

Lost your e-mail with the comment. Hope you’ll get this answer anyways.

# 3 Bruno dit :
le 14 March 2009 à 18:24 h

Thanks for the reply!

I did both. Commented lines and removed the $date, but it still showing the post date before the title

# 4 Bruno dit :
le 14 March 2009 à 18:27 h

Ok, it worked just perfect! Thanks a lot! )

# 5 Y.Dubois dit :
le 14 March 2009 à 19:28 h

I guess you had to clear the cache to see the change

# 6 Y.Dubois dit :
le 15 March 2009 à 18:15 h

I just released version 0.3: date display and format are now optional (without editing the php code) -> just check out the widget options box.

# 7 Gino dit :

Hey how do I display the plugin in php?

# 8 Gino dit :

If I don’t want to use the widget, how can I display it in php?

# 9 Y.Dubois dit :
le 17 March 2009 à 13:05 h

@Gino

Hey, I did not try it myself, but you could probably work out something like this :

If it does not work, drop me a line and I’ll try to include this feature in the next release (maybe as soon as tonight or tomorrow).

What I am sure of, is that if you use the widget on at least one of your pages (in order to have the cache built), you can display the cache content (ie the list) anywhere in your page with this code:

Once again, if you have trouble working this out, drop me a line and I’ll see how I can make it an official feature. I need this for one of my own sites anyways.

# 10 Y.Dubois dit :
le 17 March 2009 à 23:31 h

As a matter of fact, I just tried solution #1 at the bottom of this page and as you can see, it works perfectly right.

# 11 Bruno dit :
le 17 March 2009 à 23:47 h

Hi! How do i change the text formatting?

I want title and description to be shown without space. On my site is like that:

[ image ] Title
[ image ]
[ image ] description

I want it to be like that:

[ image ] Title
[ image ] Description
[ image ]

# 12 Y.Dubois dit :

@Bruno

Did you check the “load CSS” option in the widget control pannel? Maybe this will make it.

Alternatively, you can re-define the styles for elements of the <div class=”yd_rp_widget”> yourself.

In the css/ folder of the plugin you have a stylesheet example.

To avoid space after the <h4> element in the list, you need to set the display:block; parameter. Like this for example:

.yd_rp_widget h4 {
font-size: 11px;
font: bold Arial, Helvetica, sans;
display: block;
}
.yd_rp_widget h4 a {
font-size: 11px;
display: block;
}

I’m not a great CSS expert, but when I see the beautiful integration that some users of this plugin have achieved ( for example http://fruityoaty.com/ ), I am sure you can achieve the design you need by tweaking the CSS styles of the above class sub-elements.

# 13 Erik dit :

How to display this in the template without using a widget?

# 14 Y.Dubois dit :
le 18 March 2009 à 18:16 h

@Erik

The answer is just above (look at comment #9) I tested it yesterday night, it works.

# 15 fruity dit :
le 18 March 2009 à 23:00 h

Functionality request… one of the things that would make your plugin even more awesome (beside the resize to thumbnail cache that is already on your “must to do list”):

If index page shows 3 latest posts… those 3 post names should not appear on the widget display on the home page (only). However, those 3 recent post names should appear on the widget when it’s displayed on ALL OTHER pages (except home page). Removes redundancy.

I really hope you consider this request for next release, please.

Thank you.

# 16 Y.Dubois dit :
le 18 March 2009 à 23:47 h

@Fruity

You’re right, I’ll develop that feature for a future release. Maybe the next one, because that’s rather quick to implement. At first I did not need it because on the blog where I developped that widget I display only posts from a specific “Agenda” tag on the home page.

Fot the thumbnail image file generation, it’ a bit more difficult to do (except of course for recent versions of Wordpress that already have it!); but I will definitely do it when I have time: I will call his plugin “version 1.0″ only once I have this essential feature built-in. You’ll have to wait a bit more. I can’t do it overnight

# 17 fruity dit :
le 19 March 2009 à 1:06 h

Thank you for considering it!

# 18 Y.Dubois dit :
le 20 March 2009 à 2:01 h

@ Fruity
Done! Please upgrade to version 0.5 to get the requested feature.

@ Gino & Erik
I included 2 ways of displaying the list outside a widget:
<!– YDRPW –> special tag to display inside content;
<?php display_yd_recent_posts_here() ?> to display with php inside template.

Now, enjoy!

# 19 KT dit :
le 20 March 2009 à 6:27 h

This is a great plugin. However, I’m having a similar problem to #11 Bruno, only my image is on top of all the text. I’ve tried both activating the built in CSS and adding the block element in my own stylesheet. No dice. Any thoughts?

Also, is there any way to customize how much of the post is excerpted? This might be a nice feature for a future update.

And the plugin that you are running that automatically updates who’s using is very nice!

# 20 KT dit :
le 20 March 2009 à 9:10 h

– for the floats, I had to add clear: right to my h4 elements and it’s now working.

Also, what I mean by customizing excerpting is to define that the post goes as far as the more tag, instead of by a defined number of characters.

Also, is there a way to style the date separately from the post title, and/or add a line break between them instead of on the same line?

# 21 fruity dit :
le 20 March 2009 à 10:54 h

Wow! Thanks very much for the new tweak. Downloaded, works just as I had hoped.

# 22 Jeff dit :
le 20 March 2009 à 22:31 h

Hi,

Great addition. But… no matter what I do it always shows 10 posts, even after changing the settings to show only 2 and clearing the cache.

The other thing I need is to be able to display horizontally in a widget. For example, 5-6 recent posts horizontally on top of the first post. Here’s an example, take a look at the home page of SlashGear:
http://www.slashgear.com/

Thanks

Jeff

# 23 mpaper dit :
le 20 March 2009 à 23:10 h

fantastic work!! Need help though, I am trying to include it in my template, I have used the codes you provide, out of all of them only works. BTW you are missing the ‘?’ before ‘>’

However, I continue to get this warning: Warning: Missing argument 1 for display_yd_recent_posts_here()

You can see it here: http://www.morninpaper.com/contact-us/archives/
I will leave it up so you can see and hopefully instruct as to how to fix.

Thanks for your time in advance!

# 24 mpaper dit :
le 20 March 2009 à 23:13 h

Sorry, left out “” in sentence “out of all of them only works.”

# 25 Y.Dubois dit :
le 21 March 2009 à 11:41 h

@Jeff:

I can’t reproduce your problem. Here’s how it’s supposed to work:
If you don’t specify the “Home no. of posts” *and* “Other no. of posts” parameters in the widget control pannel, then the number of listed posts will always be the same as your Wordpress default posts per page setting (in options-reading admin page). Be sure to set up both options if you want to have a different number of posts showing up both on the home page and other pages of your blog. Maybe I did not make it clear that “Other” means “Other pages of the blog” (except homepage).

For the horizontal display, this is a pure CSS styling issue. I guess you can do what you want by playing around with the “yd_rp_widget” div’s sub-elements (resetting UL and LI styles to display as regular blocks or something…)

# 26 Y.Dubois dit :
le 21 March 2009 à 11:48 h

@mpaper:

<?php display_yd_recent_posts_here() ?> is the appropriate code to include the list inside a template since version 0.5.
It seems your blog is running in “debug” mode (hence it displays warning messages – which is not enabled by default in WP). I’ll correct that warning issue in the next release. However, you can get rid of it right now by passing a ‘junk’ parameter to the function, like this:

<?php display_yd_recent_posts_here( TRUE ) ?>

Sorry for the inconvenience.

# 27 Y.Dubois dit :
le 21 March 2009 à 11:50 h

@mpaper: and, uh… thanks for noticing the typo in comment #18. I corrected it.

# 28 Jeff dit :
le 21 March 2009 à 11:52 h

Anyone care to assist with the .css for horizontal display? I’m a total noob and have no idea where to start.

# 29 mpaper dit :
le 21 March 2009 à 19:07 h

That did it, totally worked! Thanks for your time and figuring it out so quickly!

# 30 Y.Dubois dit :
le 22 March 2009 à 1:00 h

@Jeff:

Lookup that site: http://reflectingdesign.onemancan.ca/
Looks like they managed to display it horizontally at bottom of site. Maybe try to grab their stylesheet and tweak it.

# 31 Y.Dubois dit :
le 22 March 2009 à 17:59 h

@All:
Just released v.0.6: it now appropriately uses the WP2.0+ generated thumbnail-sized images instead of using the full-size originals. This should greatly speed-up page loads.

# 32 fruity dit :
le 22 March 2009 à 18:29 h

Oh wow, just downloaded v.0.6 – works great! SIGNIFICANT faster page load! Thank you. This really is an amazing, beautiful plugin.

# 33 Juno dit :
le 26 March 2009 à 2:57 h

Thank you for the plugin! It does work well. I love how it displays a default image and a thumbnail if there’s an image posted within the entry.

However, it works a bit too well – I just discovered that it’s displaying excerpts of private posts! Any idea what is causing that?

And I’d like to know if there’s a way to make the excerpts keep their html formatting.

Thanks again for the great plugin!

# 34 Y.Dubois dit :
le 26 March 2009 à 11:56 h

@Juno:
The private posts issue is a bug. I will correct it right away, and release a corrected version ASAP. I hope to have it ready today or tomorrow. Watch for version 0.7.

Keeping the HTML formatting is tricky; I’m not sure it’s feasible (cutting the length of a html string can have disastrous effects if all tags are not properly closed). I’ll work on it but I can’t guarantee I’ll find a solution.

# 35 Y.Dubois dit :
le 27 March 2009 à 4:01 h

@Juno:
Version 0.7 is just released. It fixes the private posts issue.
@All:
Version 0.7 adds a new “display previous posts” function that you can use on your home page template to show the previous posts with thumbnails.
It fixes a small bug occuring when template listing and widget are used on the same page.
You don’t need to upgrade if you don’t use private posts or template functions.

Thank you for getting back to us with that bug fix so quickly!

Re: the html – I understand that this could be impossible, but I figured I’d ask.

Another question: is there a way to wrap the individual excerpt (title, image, read-more-link) into a CSS class? I’ve been trying to put in a little more whitespace between the individual excerpts and I can’t find a good way to do this. :-/

(Of course that’s only design details, great plugin!)

# 38 Y.Dubois dit :
le 27 March 2009 à 22:12 h

@Juno:
You’re absolutely right, the CSS implementation is too simplistic right now. I think I should wrap each item in a <li> tag and make the whole listing into a <ul>. This will probably break the design of sites that already use the plugin so I’ll have to make that an option I guess.
Not too hard to do, I’ll try to have that ready soon: watch out for release 0.8
I think I can try to make the HTML clean-cutting work too as an option, so hang on!

# 39 Jeff dit :
le 27 March 2009 à 22:23 h

@Y.Dubois

So Yann… if you’re going to make some .css an option, how about throwing in the option to have output show horizontally?

# 40 Y.Dubois dit :
le 27 March 2009 à 22:41 h

@Jeff:
I’m not going to put any more css style inside the plugin. I’m just adding some html containers so people can tweak the css styles to their likings. Once the items are enclosed into <li> tags, you’ll find it simpler to display them horizontally (right now I’m not sure it’s even possible after all because there’s an ugly <br> tag after each item!). I’ll be happy to include any alternative css style that people want to provide me in the future. Once again I’m no css expert, sorry.

# 41 Y.Dubois dit :
le 30 March 2009 à 0:54 h

I’m releasing version 0.8 as a beta for now (not the official version yet; needs to be tested a bit more thoroughly) — You can try it out by downloading it here: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/yd-recent-posts-widget.0.8.zip — you’ll find 2 new options in the admin page, the first one changes html markup to build a proper list, the second one allows you to keep all html formatting (except images) in the excerpt. Please tell me if it works all-right for you.

Hi Yann, it’s soo great your work. i love this tool so much!

I’ve just stuck it on my friends blog (its link’s already in web field for your list ^^ ).
It’s soo a dumb face when the author used so oft the image icons befor the first picture and they were caught as the thumbnail pics, you can see them on that site.
Is there a function or an option already to fix it in the new version but i didn’t known, or you didn’t got it? When not can you pls write some code lines for it?

i know it’s logic when we should put the pic which will be the thumbnail at first, but the posts on this site “somehow” were wrote for a little long time ago, and I’m really afraid of case that i must edit each old post to remove the silly icons or move pic to first…

By anyway a big hug for your beautiful plugin ^^

# 45 Steve V dit :
le 1 April 2009 à 10:30 h

I’m having very basic trouble with this – no posts are showing at all! I’ve tried making new posts and refreshing the cache but nothing seems to work.

This my be really silly, but should i be putting something in the ‘home page tag’ entry field in the admin page?

Any help is much appreciated!

# 46 Juno dit :
le 1 April 2009 à 14:02 h

I wanted to try out the beta 0.8 version today, but unfortunately I’m getting an error message:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/myaccountname/html/en/wp-content/plugins/yd-recent-posts-widget/yd-recent-posts-widget.php on line 448

# 47 Y.Dubois dit :
le 1 April 2009 à 17:43 h

@Juno: that’s what I was fearing. Didn’t have time to check the new version on all WP versions. Sorry, you’ll have to waita bit more, I’m very busy this week.
@Steve V: you don’t need to put anything in the “home page tag” field if you want to display all the posts. If you have very few posts on your blog (less than the posts per page parameter in WP) it is normal that you see nothing on the home page: it only shows posts that are not already there. Maybe that’s your problem on a new blog.
@Hardbone: there’s probably a way to “filter” the old icon images automatically. For example I could exclude picturesthat are hosted in a specific directory, could that work for you?
@Jose Antonio: you just need to include the special display_yd_recent_posts_here() function anywhere in your home.php template, as explained in the Plugin FAQ: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yd-recent-posts-widget/faq/

# 48 Jose antonio dit :
le 1 April 2009 à 19:00 h

i´v put at my home.php but got it this

after that it show me the previous posts just that i want it, i just want to delete the warning message

# 49 hardbone dit :
le 1 April 2009 à 21:47 h

uhmmm, what a shame me but i can’t get it.

How can i exclude those pictures? somewhere’s a choosing to do that on wp tools?
Or do you mind you would “filter” it on what coming up

wish you a nice busy week ^__^

# 50 Y.Dubois dit :

@Juno & Jose:
I like bugfixes so much I did a quickfix just for you. Please try to install this version: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/yd-recent-posts-widget.0.8.1.zip . Since I’m still away from home on a tradeshow, I could not test this for real, but there’s a good chance this should fix both of your problems. Please tell me if it works this time. And thank you for finding and reporting bugs .

@Hardbone: the filter does not exist yet! But if you think we can filter by image hosting directory (like wp-upload/2008/ or something), then I can do it in a future version.

# 51 hardbone dit :
le 1 April 2009 à 23:43 h

Yeh right i see you sure got it, what a sharp thinking you have.

I don’t known how it works the way you (php?) catch the img source or its host but it’s really possible when we have an option that avoid to “thumnail” the images with “black-address”, isn’t it?

thumb up ^^

# 52 twincascos dit :
le 4 April 2009 à 16:40 h

Hello Yann,

Just been testing out your plugin,
It seams to me that it might be useful if each post item were wrapped in a div. This would help with styling. Also, it might be wise to pull the excerpt instead of the content, just a thought.
lookin good!

# 53 Y.Dubois dit :
le 9 April 2009 à 22:19 h

@twincascos:
Try out version 0.8.2 (beta), it has a better html implementation with separate containers. You can download it here: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/yd-recent-posts-widget.0.8.zip . Tell me if it works for you: it could soon become the official next stable release.

I have already installed your plugin and just have 1-2 simple questions :

1. How to display Specific Category on different pages?/

I am using Wordpress as a My Real Estate Website and Would like certain pages to only display a Certain Catergory??

I have already used the basic wordpress code (

To display posts on the pages but I can not figure out how to add a Thumbnail image to the post.

Thanks

# 55 David Rogers dit :
le 10 April 2009 à 0:52 h

php if (is_page(‘land-lots-for-sale’)) {
query_posts(‘cat=3&showposts=10′);

} elseif (is_page(‘airport-updates’)) {
query_posts(‘cat=5&showposts=10′);
}

# 56 Y.Dubois dit :
le 10 April 2009 à 1:03 h

@David Rogers:
- The widget can only display a list of posts having specific tag(s) on the homepage, or on every other page. It does not deal with category, nor does it allow different tags for diffrent pages.
- The template function has a couple of undocumented arguments that you can use since version 0.7 to tweak the post query to your likings. Try something like that:
<?php display_yd_recent_posts_here( TRUE, “listcat3″, “showposts=10&cat=3″ ) ?> to display a list of posts of category 3 with thumbnails.
- the first argument to the function should always be “TRUE”, the second one is the name of the cache-space and should be different for each different list you want to display. The third argument is a regular WP_Query string. This allows you to display pretty much anything you like!
…Hope this helps.

# 57 Y.Dubois dit :
le 10 April 2009 à 1:10 h

…and oh for those of you who wonder what the first argument is for, it is used to disable “echo” display of the function and get the html as a return value in PHP, like this:
<?php
$html = display_yd_recent_posts_here( FALSE );
echo $html;
?>
(usual WP stuff)
…well I guess I should consider my “undocumented function arguments” are now pretty well documented

# 63 Y.Dubois dit :
le 14 April 2009 à 17:19 h

@Reactive:
I think your message has been eaten up, I did not get the code. I’ll be happy to make the widget Timthumb-compatible out-of-the box in a future release, so I’m interested in the way this could be done. Did you clear the cache after changing the code?

# 64 Y.Dubois dit :
le 14 April 2009 à 17:22 h

@Michael:
Malheureusement, le widget ne supporte pas la sélection par catégorie. Si vous utilisez la fonction PHP, par contre, on peut facilement exclure une catégorie, par exemple comme ceci pour exclure la catégorie 3 : <?php display_yd_recent_posts_here( TRUE, “listcat3″, “showposts=10&cat=-3″ ) ?>

# 65 Y.Dubois dit :
le 14 April 2009 à 17:29 h

@Reactive:
I see no simple way to randomize as it is. I’m working on another widget which will be able to display a list of posts with thumbnails with a wider range of criterias (not just “recent posts”. I’ll consider randomization in that separate plugin.

# 66 Y.Dubois dit :
le 14 April 2009 à 17:34 h

@Gjiada:
If you need to have recent posts listed on the home page also, you can use version 0.3 or 0.4 of the plugin, available here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yd-recent-posts-widget/download/ — the feature to skip posts on the home page was added in version 0.5. Alternatively, wait a bit, I’ll make that feature optional in the next version.

# 67 twincascos dit :

Hi Yann,
I’ve been following this thread,
I thought I’d mention a widget I put together the other day.
It shows thumbnail images from a category.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/superslider-postsincat/
I’ve made it mootools slideable for fun,
If you’re going to add image option to your widget, maybe you can pull some code from postsincat.

# 68 Reactive dit :
le 14 April 2009 à 20:43 h

@Y.Dubois yeah, it was indeed a matter of clearing the cache. It’s pretty simple, I just added the path to the timthumb on line 380 http://pastebin.com/m777e151f – &w=60&h=60&zc=1&q=100 are the settings I use. You should consider integrating it, it’s a great little script, and your widget obviously needs a better thumbnailing method.

As for randomization, my previous theme Options had a widget that could do that, show random posts from a certain tag.

This is a great plug-in and does the job really well.

My question is about your crawler rather than the plugin. SInce installing the plugin, my stats have become totally skewed. Everytime someone views this page, my site records a hit because you’re linking to my favicon above.

Is there any chance you can keep a copy of the favicon on your own server?

I have just downloaded the plugin and installed it. If I would like to display my recent posts on the homepage, where should I insert the recent posts syntax?
Just like you have them down here.

I tried creating a teaser side bar for my articles, which only display the full size thumbnail and the title. This works, with a bit css stuff.

However, I noticed this: When an article contains an image in the fulltext and an image in a custom field, the widget uses the image in the custom field, which in my case is an icon. This should be fixed in a way, that we can differentiate between which image source the widget should use.

Bye,
Oliver

Bonjour,

Merci pour ce plugin très utile et prometteur
- ça serait pratique de pouvoir choisir dans l’interface d’admin le nombre d’articles affichés
- De même que d’intégrer une mini doc avec les différents codes à insérer dans les pages ou article.
Genre la mini doc du répertoire de plugin de wordpress http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yd-recent-posts-widget/installation/

Où au moins le lien dans l’interface
cordialement

@ Yann:

This is such an amazing idea! The options I’d like to see added to make it the perfect plugin are:

* Ability to change the thumbnail position from left to right.
* Choice to change the thumbnail size used to the standard 150×150 thumbnail Wordpress generates from each image upload.
* Allow us to not show only a headline, and not both headline and excerpt, next to the thumbnail.

Feel free to email me for more details. But I think these additions would make your plugin look a lot nicer on my blog, and I’m sure other bloggers will appreciate having more customizations available. Thanks for your consideration!

# 80 Ferry dit :
le 2 May 2009 à 21:04 h

Edit: Oops! I meant to say showing only a headline next to a thumbnail would be a nice option. At least my headlines are often quite long and descriptive, so I do not need the excerpt text as well. Thanks!

# 102 Richard dit :
le 17 June 2009 à 17:46 h

Yann, sorry for my short comment earlier. Firtsly, many thanks for providing this excellent plugin to the community. I have a few comments:
1- Suggestion: Use ‘if ( function_exists(‘display_yd_recent_posts’)’ in the template tags.
2- When using the template tag instead of the widget ‘display_yd_recent_posts_here( 5 )’ It does not control the number of posts to 5. Defaults to 10
3- When setting the image size in the CSS file to 50px, even after clearing cache and browser cache the image remains scaled to 60px
4- Now how about doing ‘recent comments with gravatars’ in the same way as this plugin!?

Thanks

# 103 Y.Dubois dit :

@Richard:
Hey, you’re good at guessing my next moves – The “Recent comments with gravatars” plugin is already developed; you can see it in action on http://www.nogent-citoyen.com (lower-right column). I just have to package it a bit to make it releasable to the community… I only miss time to do everything at once — About the yd_recent_posts plugin, I have an improved version in the pipes also, with greatly awaited features such as full Timthumb and phpThumb support out-of-the-box. (again you can see it in action on http://www.nogent-citoyen.com )… it fixes some minor issues, and I’ll make sure future versions address the problems you encountered.

Great plugin with tons of fearures. Have you thought of making one with the same functionality as recent posts but for any category? Basically it would use the category ID to select the excerpts.

After upgrading to wp 2.8 for some reason the yd recent posts widget does not cache the thumbnail anymore but the full size image. See here: http://pigmag.com/it/

# 111 Y.Dubois dit :
le 25 June 2009 à 0:00 h

I don’t think it uses the full size. I think your site “small” image size is set to 150×150, and it uses that. If you don’t use the 150×150 format elsewhere, go to options / media and set your Wordpress “miniatures” image size to 60×60. Otherwise it’s no big deal to use 150×150 jpg instead of 60×60; the size difference is quite minimal. Or wait for next version of the plugin that will use timthumb or phpthumb to always cache the right size.

Hello,

First off, this is a great plugin. I’ve been using it on a few sites and everything has been working great. I do have a small issue with the plugin on a new site I am working on.

It is about the same as #22, Jeff.

I am not able to adjust a specific tag, or the amount of posts. I have adjusted the amount of posts to be seen under the WordPress settings and it still has no effect.

I had this issue once, but I was able to resolve it by adding a 0 in front of the number such as “04.” Now this isnt working, nor am I able to pull a specific tag’s post like I used to be able to.

Any ideas? I have looked into everything I can think of on my end but I am still not able to get anything to change, it strictly lists the latest 10 posts. I’ve cleared the cache and have tried just about everything possible options wise.

The widget just doesn’t seem to listen.

Is there a way to use the tag you mentioned earlier to specify a post tag as well as the number of posts to list? Such as

Or maybe the answer to #119’s question would solve my solution as well.

Thanks

# 122 Jim dit :
le 23 September 2009 à 23:19 h

Hi Yann, this is such a good plugin, and i thank you for it

I’ve noticed that you haven’t excluded [caption] attribute. So when it’s the first thing in a post it will show the code.

# 123 Y.Dubois dit :
le 23 September 2009 à 23:25 h

Hi Jim, actually this can be fixed easily : just check the “Strip [square bracket-enclosed] special tags” checkbox in the Plugin options page, then click “Update widget options” and clear the cache.

So yes, I included the [...] attribute option, but it is disabled by default because a few months ago most blogs did not use such square-bracket enclosed attributes

# 124 Jim dit :
le 23 September 2009 à 23:28 h

Ah ha! I was wondering what those options did, now i know

One last thing, The posts aren’t showing on my homepage, they are on “others”. Not sure why.

Thanks

# 125 Y.Dubois dit :
le 23 September 2009 à 23:33 h

This problem has already been covered; the plugin does not display the posts that are already on the home page (this was one of the first user-requested features if you read very far above…) – so if you have very few posts nothing will display until you go over the “number of posts to display on home page” limit. You can get around this by lowering number of posts displayed on your home page. Another possible cause is that you specified a nonexistent tag or empty tag in the home page settings.

# 126 Y.Dubois dit :
le 23 September 2009 à 23:41 h

@to all: I was VERY busy lately, so much that I had no time to release the new features that have been waiting for a couple of months in my development log… I am also sorry that I did not find time to correct some broken links issues on my site, nor to release the Russian version of the plugin that someone contributed spontaneously, nor to answer to all your questions on this page. I’m planning on getting back to this plugin user’s community very soon. So hang up a bit more and you’ll get the brand new version, hopefully before 2010 is here! – thanks for your encouragements.

# 127 Jim dit :
le 23 September 2009 à 23:45 h

Thanks for responding. Though it makes sense to not display posts already there, it would have been nice for this to be an option and not the only way it works.

Also, one last thing. Making the stylesheet be called in the body tag means it won’t validate xhtml 1.1. Can you make it so it’s called in the correct place: the head tags?

Thanks for your help.

# 129 fruityoaty dit :

@Ann (above): Looked at your blog. I don’t think the problem (posts appearing at the bottom) is a result of the plugin… You probably need to increase the width of your sidebar. I had this issue and when I increased the sidebar width (and fiddled with CSS for plugin), the issue went away.

I am trying to change the default_image_width and height. I found the default_image_width in the yd-recent-posts-widget.php file and when I change the values it does not reflect on the frontend. I have cleared the cache and still nothing.

I have however, installed the YD plugin on a separate wordpress system and before activation I changed values for default_image_width and default_image_height and everything worked great. Based on this, I removed the plugin on my original install, unziped, changed the values and then activated. This sadly did not work! Are the values being stored in the database, or am I missing something totally simple.

Please help and thank you!

# 136 rstar dit :

I have placed the Latest Post widget in my sidebar. For some reason, the spacing between the Title and the rest of the Widget’s content is a lot bigger than it should be. It varies depending on which page you are on in my website. Any ideas why this might be occurring?

Wonderful plugin, works fine with Wordpress 2.8.6.
But I need more than 1 widget “recent posts” of this plugin for my several sidebars of my theme.

Could you please offer an update, where we can use this plugin with 2 or 3 widgets of this same plugin for several sidebars?

Thanks very much.

I have clear the cache a few times -s till same results . And have looked at the page in both IE and Firefox – still same results. Can you please help. version 8.3 of the plug in running on Wordpress 2.8.6

Thanks

Hi

I read most of the post written her. However its all greek to me:). I am looking to learn how to use YD Recent to improve ranking and look in my blog?.

All coding is strange and do not understand it. So, please make it as simple as possible. I see the setting and if its possible to guide through from that point it would be of great help.

Hope you understand and thank you in advance

I installed the plugin but no of the custom settings seem to work: it is not showing a title, it does not show the numbers i gave but only 10, etc… I tried deleting the cache etc… but it seems it does not read the options I have set – what do i do wrong (see it live on the url given here, right side bottom)

# 158 Edward de Leau dit :

it also never shows my my default thumb but always the first part of the sentence of the post

# 159 Erik Even dit :

I love this widget.

While it’s great you have it set to not show posts in the home page sidebar that are already listed on the home page — I need to turn this off! In other words, I want to show the most recent posts, regardless of what page the widget is displaying on.

Help!

# 160 Brent Logan dit :
le 9 December 2009 à 1:00 h

I could not get any of the non-default settings to work: title, number of comments to display on home or other pages, alternate default image, etc. It just defaulted to 10. Interestingly, it didn’t show the footer text/link anywhere, even though the default is to display on the home page. (In other words, it looks like I’m having the same problems as #157 Edward.)

I’m using WordPress 2.9 beta 2.

Hi there: great plugin, but I can’t seem to reference the thumbnails…only the full size images appear. I’m using WP 2.8.6, and I have checked the that the thumbnail exists (eg the image name with -150×150.jpg at the end of it).

As the images are pretty large to begin with this dramatically slows the page load down: see http://gilliantravis.co.uk

Have you any idea what could be causing this issue? (PS: I’m not worried about using a 150px image in a 60px space…the problem is loading a 1024px image in to a 60px space)

Best wishes

I see it has been asked several times, and in a previous release the author claimed it couldn’t but done, but I’m wondering if anybody got this to post for a specific category?

Also, the recent posts shown does not stop @ the # I include in the (). For example, should show only the last 5 posts?

Thank you very much.

Thanks.

# 173 Terry of Astoria dit :
le 20 January 2010 à 20:48 h

to Mike, see above around comment #56 about how to display posts from a category instead of a tag. And the number of posts you set in the php “showposts=”10″ like that if you are using it on your template and in the widget settings if you are using a widget.
to Yann, or others, I have the same problem in wp 2.9.1 mentioned above. The “thumbnails” are my full-size images. Pretty slow to load. I will wait for a new version or maybe try that timthumb method someone mentioned above.

# 174 Y.Dubois dit :
le 20 January 2010 à 22:45 h

@Terry: thanks.

@All: still did not have time to migrate my own blogs to 2.9.1. All improvements are still in the pipes until then (including native Timthumb support and Russian translation, sorry again). Be sure that I’ll be providing a 2.9.1 compatible version as soon as I migrate my sites, and I definitely have to do it sometime soon… So hang on a bit more again, and sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime. 2009 went away way too fast :/

# 175 Terry of Astoria dit :
le 21 January 2010 à 4:22 h

Mike, you’re right. I put the php code in the template after the loop but before the end of the body div and set the number of posts like this: <?php display_yd_recent_posts_here( 5 ) ?> but 8 posts were displayed, probably because I set the widget settings for 8 posts to be displayed. I noticed that if I put the code outside the div before the footer I had the problem mentioned above where it pushed the sidebar contents down . Makes sense. You have to put it in a container which is styled properly.
It works great and I plan to try to style it so it is in blocks, like huffington post-style. Sure would be great if the thumbnails worked with Wordpress 2.9.1. It’s loading my huge- full size images for thumbnails. I’m replacing all my images with 300 px versions to minimize the effect, and I’m eagerly anticipating the release of the new version. Maybe that timthumb plugin will help. See how I used it in the sidebar and in the bottom (there I want to make the entries like a stack of square blocks, three or four across) Click my name to see http://cannabisfantastic.com
Thanks so much for the wonderful work, and for the nice forum to discuss it here.

# 176 Mike dit :
le 21 January 2010 à 18:24 h

@ Terry, thanks for the reply. I don’t use this plugin anywhere but within the template. I dont use the widget. It stops at 10 no matter what. Check out my page, I use the plugin with 2.9 on the homepage, then on some sub pages in the sidebar. BTW, nice site

WAIT! My problem with the hi-res thumbs wasn’t the fault of YD Recent Posts plugin. I just never HAD any thumbnails. The plugin actually is just fine with Wordpress 2.9.1. as far as I can tell. I don’t know why but some of my images never had thumbnails. Wordpress never made one when I uploaded them. I don’t know why. After I discovered and used Regenerate Thumbnails plugin by viper007bond, then YD Recent Posts has a thumbnail to use on every item! Thank you again, Yann for such a very useful plugin. By the way, WP 2.9.1 is great- I love being able to browse and install plugins and themes right from the admin panel.

@those that are having a problem with A SPACE AFTER the post title.

PHOTO TITLE

and want

Do the following. Within the pluging editor select the YD plugin’s .css file.

edit this

yd_rp_widget h4 {
font-size: 11px;
font: bold Arial, Helvetica, sans;
display: block;
}
.yd_rp_widget h4 a {
font-size: 11px;
display: block;
}

to this

yd_rp_widget h4 {
font-size: 11px;
font: bold Arial, Helvetica, sans;
display: block;
margin-bottom: 0;
padding-bottom: 0;
}
.yd_rp_widget h4 a {
font-size: 11px;
display: block;
margin-bottom: 0;
padding-bottom: 0;
}

Whola! No more space.

P.S. Remember to clear your cache!!!! Both the plugins, and also the Wordpress cache plugin you may be using.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for this plugin, it’s great! I have the most recent version and it works great, the only bug I’ve encountered is limiting the amount of recent posts to display. It always displays all of them.

I’m using WP 2.9.1.

Hi, I must say great plugin. I’m using it for a long time. Now I need something different. Can I exclude some categories from appearing in it?

I need to use two of these plugins, one will catch all posts from all categories except of that one.

The second will show only posts from one category, so that makes the second question:

How to edit plugin (after I exclude all categories that I want) and call it on this way:

As you can see, I have added the “2″ so I think that I also must do that in plugin.

Thanks,

Marko

# 187 Marko dit :
le 12 February 2010 à 5:22 h

OK, I think that I have found an answer for function to make it as second plugin, I think that I need to modify this line:

/** Display with PHP outside widget functions **/
function display_yd_recent_posts_here( $echo = TRUE, $cache_name = NULL, $spec_query = NULL ) {

Correct mi if I’m wrong.

Still need an answer for include/exclude categories from the plugin.

# 188 Tina dit :

# 190 Lee dit :

Let me first say that I love this plugin and think it may just be one of the most useful in the wordpress ecosystem. I just wanted to ask is there a way I can change the recent post content on every page.? Or is this an update that will be coming soon

# 191 hammertime dit :
le 18 February 2010 à 19:44 h

I’m tearing my hair out with this plugin right now.

I’m using it on my index page rather than in the sidebar but it’s absolutely all over the place. Clearing the cache seems to be completely erratic and it’s pot luck how long it takes for changed to take effect. (Yes i’m clearing cache in Settings of plugin as well as browser.)

Also, the thumbnails are out of line. I have one aligned left then the next one is centre then the next one left etc. Any ideas anyone?

Or does anyone know where to get a recent news plugin for homepage like the one used in Zenko Magazine here…

http://www.wpzoom.com/zenko/demo/

# 192 Joelle dit :
le 24 February 2010 à 2:11 h

This plugin is really handy! Except it would be awesome if you could officially update it for 2.9+ The version on the WP plugins listing is still for 2.7.

I see other people are using successfully, but I’m unable to get the specified tag to display on the homepage. it display on the interior page, and all tags will display on the homepage, but the moment I insert a tag in “Specific Tag” on the homepage options, the contents of the widget disappears.

Do you know what this might be?

Thanks!

# 193 Michael dit :

Hi there Y.Dubois,

I like the widget a lot, but have one question: I’d like to display the latests posts also on the homepage. What do i need to remove from the script to make that happen?

Thanx!

# 194 Michael dit :
le 2 March 2010 à 12:37 h

And yet a second question: After I just published a new post, the widget did not change – it didn’ turn up in the latest post overview. What could have gone wrong?

# 195 Mark Cullinane dit :
le 3 March 2010 à 22:23 h

Hi, big fan of the plugin- just having trouble with one aspect of it, namely the thumbnail selection.
On what basis is the thumbnail selected from the images in a post? Is it random, or is it the first attached image?
And if I want to change the selected thumbnail, is there any easy way to do this? Thanks.

# 196 Y.Dubois dit :
le 4 March 2010 à 11:30 h

@Mark: it is the first attached image. No easy way to change that.

@All: the plugin works fine with WP 2.9.1.

# 197 Nomee dit :

Hey is there way to NOT show the thumbnail? I just want a list of recent posts with the excerpt.

Great plugin thanks!

# 198 Y.Dubois dit :
le 4 March 2010 à 22:06 h

@Nomee: Hey, the whole point of this plugin was to get the thumbnail in the first place

# 199 Nomee dit :
le 4 March 2010 à 22:18 h

Lol .. yeah I know. But you could also have an option for disabling it you know. Sometimes people just want the list!

So is there anyway to do this for now?

# 200 Y.Dubois dit :
le 4 March 2010 à 22:42 h

@all: I just attempted releasing a version 0.8.4 on the WP Plugin site. I did not have time to really test it. It is just supposed to upgrade compatibility info to 2.9.1 and include the Russian version. No new feature. Can someone confirm it works OK?

I finally concluded I have no time to work (for free) on releasing the timthumb-enabled version 0.9. So I just checked it out “as is” in the WP SVN directory. For those interested, it is here: http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/yd-recent-posts-widget/branches/0.9.0/ — this is what I use on my own sites. It is unsupported, so use it at your own risk :p

# 201 Y.Dubois dit :
le 4 March 2010 à 22:45 h

@Nomee: try hiding the thumbnail with css. That’s my best shot right now.

# 202 Nomee dit :
le 5 March 2010 à 23:04 h

Okay thanks, I tried it but it didnt work … is there any specific code I should remove to hide the thumbnails ??
