Thanks for the plugin. I’m not skilled with PHP, but I have tried a dozen ways to get a post thumbnail to show up next to the post title in the sidebar widget. I’m sure this is possible, but not with my skillset. Any tips on how to do this?

Is it possible to use this plugin to vary the header image depending upon WHICH URL the user visits?

I have a single WordPress installation, but several domains point to it.

I want to have a different header image, depending upon which domain name the user has visited.

So, http://theatrelawyer.com would display an image related to theatre, and http://lawyer4films.com would display an image related to film, etc.

Is this possible?

This plugin is both functional and efficient. I have been using it for quite some time.

Unfortunately it conflicts with the Catalyst theme which I am adapting for my use; it ‘breaks’ the sidebar. I have no idea how:)

So many things in the directions were very confusing to me. If I could write my own script, I wouldn’t need a plugin.

Hello

Thanks for your plugin.
I have but a small problem, I cannot show more than 5 posts for a category, although I wrote I wanted 10 of them in the widget admin.
May you help please ?

thanks

Hello

Thanks for a great and simple plugin.
the only thing is whatever I ask for the number of posts to show for a category, it is limited to a maximum of 5.
Any idea what I could do to change this ?

thanks

The code from Fabio works, but if you copy and paste make sure to check that the single quotes copied right. Mine were right and left quotes at first.

Hello, I am looking for related post widget by category that work under category page, not just in single post. Can you help me? Thanks

Hi Dan. Thanks for the great plug-in!
I noticed I couldn’t show more than 5 posts in the same category. So I changed the get_posts function in your code to:

$catposts = get_posts(‘numberposts=’.$data['disp'].’&category=’.$category->cat_ID.’&exclude=’.$exclude_string.’&’.$order_str);

Expanding the default numberposts value of 5 to whatever the user defines in the widget configuration. I thought you might want to add that to a new version…

Regards,
Fabio

Is there a way I could insert a bit of code like this

in substitution for the display of $related?

Thanks.

You have a soft bug in the code. The code echo $after_widget; is located AFTER the closing bracket for the if (is single). That may break the layout in home.
