Is possible to make the plugin to be able to display all post of “subcategories” of the cat ID when I use the shortcode: [arpw thumbnail=”true” cat=”10″]

or is there a way to build the short code so that it can display all post of subcategories of a parent category?

Thank you!

Hi all,

Is there any option that this plugin use html language, like <i></i> or <b></b>?

Thank you and best regards.

I’ve been happily using the Advanced Random Posts widget for years with no issues. I recently went in to do a long overdue textural alteration via Elementor to a different section of the same page and it will not allow me to update. The PHP error is below although I’m gathering it just specific to my site.

PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wpse_custom_wp_trim_excerpt() (previously declared in /home/customer/www/smmusic.ca/public_html/wp-content/plugins/advanced-random-posts-widget/includes/posts.php:117) in /home/customer/www/smmusic.ca/public_html/wp-content/plugins/advanced-random-posts-widget/includes/posts.php on line 117

I want to know if there is a way around this, or if it’s time to find a replacement for Advanced Random Posts?

Hello

I have sent the address of a page of my site to you above

As you can see in the footer section and other places on this page, I used the sitepress-multilingual-cms plugin, but unfortunately your plugin and the sitepress-multilingual-cms are incompatible

hi

thanks for your great plugin

how to set multiple categories by id?

The current language pack project (here) contains several out-of-date UI strings.

The updated UI strings are 49 strings, the current out-of-date language pack project contains 42 strings (36 valid strings and 6 out-of-date strings), please try to fix this and let this awesome plugin can be fully localized.

Please also refer to issue 1 and issue 2.

Hello is there any way by which i can remove the title url using CSS?
The random posts generated contains the title which has a link to the complete post. I want to remove that link.

Thanks a lot for helping. I really want this.

Is there a way to show the category of the article below the article name?
Thanks!

What the plugin does: The plugin shows random posts after post`s content.

What I want to archieve: I must be able to select one of these posts. When one is selected, the other one must be discarded. The selected one must be kept in place, and the system should give me other two post and give me the opportunity to choose one again, discarding the other. This 5 times, creating a list of posts.

Question: What technologies and workflow I must use to archive that?

Hello how can a Post remains after I select one of the Random Post that shows me on the Page ?

using short code as follows:
`[arpw limit=”4″ thumbnail=”true” thumbnail_size=”grid-image” post_type=”project” post_status=”publish” excerpt=”false” css_class=”other_books”]

this should pick 4 random from the 36 posts with type=project

Instead, however, it ONLY EVER displays the 4 most recent entries (which defeats the entire purpose of the random display)

(see link to page above: Section titled “Other Books”)

Hello,
The plugin is great with WordPress 5.6.2. Is it compatible with WordPress 5.7?

I am seeing “Continue reading” tacked on at the end of an excerpt. Is that being added by ARPW, and if so, how can I suppress that phrase?

Thanks for the great plugin. We’ve been using it for a while but we have one issue.

Is it possible to exclude specific pages using the page ID’s?

We don’t want our T&C’s and Contact Us pages to appear.

We don’t use categories on our site.

Many thanks!

Hi, I used this code to make an horizontal line of thumbnails.

.arpw-li {
  float: left;
  max-width: 24%;
  margin-right: 1%;
}

The widget after the arpw continue in the same line.
How is possible insert a break line between arpw and other widget?

“PROSSIMI EVENTI” is the title of next widget.

Thank you in advance!

It is a good idea, but if the title has HTML tags, the widget shows the code instead of interpreting them. Ideally, instead of <i> </i> tags, the widget would display the title in italics.

What is the shortcode for displaying the full post?
Thanks!

I have added this widget to the footer of a website I am working on. For reference, the widget has been named “Lazy Susan” (food joke).

When I am on the homepage (or any page), it shows just the thumbnail image and the title/info. This is what I want.

When I click on any blog post, though, the tags for the post are now listed above the thumbnail image. I do not want this – creates a bunch of visual clutter.

How do I correct this?

The widget displays only an excerpt of random posts. This shows text links for any linked content, including tweets, photos, and videos. How can I display a random complete post?

Secondarily, is there anything that can be done to change the widget title font color?

Thanks in advance.

Have try to remove the bullet points:

.arpw-ul {
list-style-type: none;
}

…not working, any help?

I am enjoying your plugin and its ability to randomly show posts.
One issue however is that most of my posts will contain iFrame HTML markup. Originally when I set up the widget to use an excerpt, it maintained this HTML markup as part of the excerpt which was perfect. Now it is not. Please advise. I would be happy to do some custom coding if necessary.

Hello,

I’m using custom size for thumbnail (220×120). The images displayed are 1:1 son they are cropped to fit on width. Is there any way to fit on height? The blank spaces on both sides must be white.

Thanks in advance.

I just tried installing the plugin and when I made and saved the settings I wanted (show 5 posts, from selected categories) the plugin shows the 5 most recent posts.

I need it to select randomly not the most recent. What am I missing? Please and thanks for assistance.

Hello, I’m using your great plugin on the right sidebar on my blog. I want to add a border between both columns but when I use

.column1{
border-right: 1px solid black ;
}

or

.column2{
border-left: 1px solid black ;
}

The content from the sidebar is not displayed. How can I solve this?

Regards.

Hello,

I must say thanks for this great plugin. I am using your plugin on my site and I would like to change the article title font size and of course make it bold too.

Please which css code can achieve that?

Thanks

I am using this plugin to show random posts. However, the generated links does not carry the HTML attribute title of the a tag.

How can I add it?

Thanks.

I would like the random posts to not change for a day, if possible, or at least have some control over the time before changing to another post.

This is for a list of members, and we want them all to have some time to be featured.

Is there some way to set that?

Also, I had to Allow ORDER BY RAND() at WP Engine, after having WP Engine support help me to figure out why the posts weren’t changing, and they say this:
“Normally we disable ORDER BY RAND() orderings in MySQL queries because this is a big no-no for large databases which we’ve seen cause massive slow-downs for dozens of our customers. However, you can enable it if you know what you’re doing, for example if you cache the results for 5-15 minutes so that you’re not pummeling the database with these slow queries.”

So I was thinking perhaps if there were a time setting, it would also help with the “not pummeling the database” recommendation.

Thank you.

<span itemprop=”name”> is being rendered on frontpage in titles of post. This happened recently post upgrade of wordpress. Help required to correct error.

Hi,

I have the widget working on other websites, but on this one neither the widget or the shortcode in a page will show the excerpt. Using: [arpw limit=”5″ cat=”30″ excerpt=”true” excerpt_length=”50″]

Any help would be great.

Regards, Jane
