Will frontpage-manager conflict?

  • Hi Ken,

    I actually downloaded Arthemia myself (it’s a cool theme!) so I could check it out (and also so I could learn from how more experienced WP developers do their thing! ?? ) Here is what I discovered:

    – If you leave the categories set to ‘all’ in my plugin, the category removals hardcoded in Arthemia’s index.php will take precedence, but if you select a category in my plugin, only posts from that category will be displayed.
    – The number of posts shown on the frontpage is taken from my plugin, not from what is hardcoded in Arthemia’s index.php.
    – Because Arthemia uses the_excerpt() instead of the_content() in its index.php, the post length limiting factors of my plugin aren’t very useful. It works as designed, but since the_excerpt() strips all HTML tags and limits what is displayed to 55 words anyway, it’s a bit pointless. If you wanted to use my plugin’s abilities instead of Arthemia’s auto-limiting, then you’d have to replace the_excerpt() with the_content() in index.php.

    I hope that helps!

    Hi Kirilisa,

    Thanks for the response.
    Sorry for my delay in replying, end-of-semester issues took priority.

    I’ll have to try the newest version of your plug-in, as soon as I can get some time and a backup done.

    I too need the ability to select categories.
    Thanks again,
    Ken

    Hi Ken,

    Sorry for the delay — somehow I didn’t see your response. The newest version of my plugin does allow selection of specific categories. Hopefully it will work okay for you! If you do try it sometime, please let me know if you see any way to improve it. Thanks!
