Using the Query Option in Widget

    Hi,

    Thanks for this great plugin!!
    It is exactly what I needed.

    It works flawlessly in English with your default settings.

    However, my blog is RTL (Arabic) and I am trying to get the latest Google News in Arabic.

    The Google News Query I want to use is:
    news.google.com/?ned=ar_me

    I tried many different ways to enter it into the Query box to no avail – as soon as I add it, the widget “disappears” from my Sidebar.

    I tried to enter int eh Query Box:
    ned=ar_me
    “ned=ar_me”
    ned=”ar_me”
    [ned=ar_me]
    [ned=”ar_me”]
    news.google.com/?ned=ar_me

    All these options resulted in the widget “disappearing” from my Sidebar.

    What am I getting wrong here?

    Many thanks in advance!

    Hello,

    For your query width your country, you write just ar_me in the optionnal query
    I think it’s work

    Thanks Tony!
    However, it actually doesn’t work as intended.

    When I put ar_me (which is Google’s code for Arabic_Middle East), it gives me news in English from Armenia (I guess Armenia’s code is “ar”)

    Therefore, I tried the following country codes:
    eg – for Egypt
    sa – for Saudi Arabia
    me – for Middle East

    I still get unrelated news in English from the US.

    I am basically trying to get “ned=ar_me” – news in Arabic from the Middle East

    Any other solution?

    Thanks again.
