How do I exclude sticky posts?
I’ve created a recent posts widget. Have set the widget to display 3 posts only. The widget displays 4 posts. I’ve tried setting an offset and setting a date parameter in effort to prevent a sticky post from showing in the list of recent posts. The only time the sticky disappears is when I’m viewing the actual sticky post (Exclude on Actual is enabled).
Is there a setting I’ve missed that will allow me to exclude the sticky post?
Slightly different topic.. regarding HTML tags, for semantic markup purposes it would be nice to be able to select ‘header’, ‘article’, ‘footer’ and list item.
Thanks in advance.
]]>So is this just a post list widget where I choose which meta is in it? Are comments in views to show the # of comments on a post in the widget? Is there an option to show the # of views of for the post?
]]>Hello. I want report Easy is not compatible with Enlightenment theme. When working on backend (Appareance > Widgets), the Easy editor window become too thin but tall so I can’t see it clearly. I guess it might be CSS issue.
]]>Hello, I have some problems with tags:
– taxonomy match tags returns empty loop
– taxonomies in the view are not displayed if they are tags
(I put tag in the text field replacing the default category)

– Allow for custom html tags to be used in the loop so that user can abide to their theme tags
Hey,
I have been struggling to learn how to do this. Basically what I want is 2 rows on a page, each with four posts from a specific category. Ideally, I would to do it with one row/sidebar with ONE easy widget, seeing as it’s from one category anyway and tell it to give me 8 posts, display them horizontally, and break to a second row after four are displayed. I think one sidebar would be best too so when I declare the style for mobile resolutions, I can easily adjust rather than have to position two side bars on top of each other in columns.
First of all, is this possible?
Secondly, how do I do this?
Here is roughly how I want it to appear:
Category Header (Example: Featured Content)
POST 1 POST 2 POST 3 POST 4
POST 5 POST 6 POST 7 POST 8
Thanks for any help you can offer ??

]]>Hi, I am using Gantry framework theme and have Easy widgets in content bottom and sidebar.
When a widgets’s loop is empty (for example I go to a page that has no related content to display or in a category view with no articles)my theme structure breaks. Empty divs of the Easy widget are created alongside the theme columns, not inside them!
When Easy loops are not empty and return some content then everything works well.
Thank you!
In my selections I have in the “views” list:
Title — link to post
Featured Image — thumbnail
In my Controls list:
Number — 3
Post Type — post, not affected
Meta — “featured”, “1”, NUMERIC, =, -Relation-
In the database there are 8 featured posts. But no posts are presented.
There is also the problem of making easy work with my created “post-rating” in the post meta table. Is there any documentation on how to do this?
]]>Hello,
I’m wondering if it could be possible to insert custom fields in the VIEW section.
That would be great to have this feature in the future if not available today.
Many thanks

I know nothing. New to everything. I have https://www.thoughtsofourlives.com and all I want to do is take the plugin All Sports Widget which appears as Best Sports Blog in the sidebar and alter it to show only on page call All the Sports of our Lives. I downloaded easy 0.9.5.2 plugin but, I am in kindergarten level of all this and can’t even figure that out. I need step by step instructions of how to get this All Sports Widget to show only on one page.
]]>I’m doing an estimate for someone whose site is built with Max Magazine. It looks great, but what they want me to do is install a video wall where the slider is now, as in this site: https://maestroknows.com
From the source it looks like the video wall is built with the fw-vimeo-videowall plugin, all I need to figure out now is how to replace the slider with the video wall in the homepage and if the plugins will play nice with each other. Will your plugin help me accomplish this?
Hello,
I try to use the featured image view with a link to the image when displayed in the front end. I have selected the medium view and would like to have the large view when clicked. But then, in the front end, the image appears in medium but without link (no a tag)!
Then, if I select object link instead of large, I have a link, but on the article where the feature image is attached and not on the media itself !!!
Is there a way to use featured image and have a link to the media ?
Thanks
Pat
Hello,
I like this plugin and use it all the time. I have a question : is it possible to apply a lightbox effect to an image displayed by easy (either in feature image or post gallery).
Thanks

Both Easy and Page Builder are very powerful plugins to build customized layout. Unfortunately, both can’t work together. Will there any plan to make it more compatible with Page Builder? Currently, Easy can only be inserted to screen by via widget areas, but it is very limited depends on the theme we’re using. Page Builder really solves this limitation.
]]>First off, love the plugin. It was the only way I found to construct the look I was going for on my news aggregation site. https://www.biggovernmentreport.com
Just wondering, is there a way to reduce the amount of padding that is above and below the posts on the main page? I tried using firebug to find the style that is associated with the posts, but each post has its own defined style and changing them all with each additional post would be too much trouble. Am I just missing a control feature somewhere? I’m using the suffusion theme, so doing a custom include would be easy enough.
I am looking for a way to optimize your plugin across my website so that I have as much variation in my sidebars as possible. I have been told that for SEO it is good to tailor the sidebar to different posts/pages/404 page, etc. when possible. Easy plugin has many different levers that can be pulled in this regard like the “On Templates: Show/Hide” button or “Hierarchy Based”. Can you help me decide what is the best setup for my website?
I have 10 pages, 31 categories, and over 3000 posts. (I probably have too many categories but some are more important than others right now). My website is democracychronicles.com
]]>Hello,
Many thanks again for this wonderful plugin.
Is there a way to insert a “Read More” button in the content part (I’m using the “above more tag”).

Hello,
I’m using this plugin and love it. I would like to know if there is some example of what to put in the row and column classes in order to have for example, 3 posts per row.
Many thanks
Can I show a list of articles from a particular author or user? I could theoretically use either the display_name or user_ID?
Last question… for now
??
Thanks for the help
]]>Your answers have been very, very helpful and I thank you for that. What is the impact of having many Easy widgets operating at once? I have three Easy widgets set for my front page and three other Easy widgets that show only on certain posts. I have in total six Easy widgets and would like to add more in order to match different sidebars with the various content pages, authors etc. on my website. Is this a problem for page speed and SEO in general? What is the impact of having all of these widgets all listed in the same widget settings area? Does having an Easy widget that displays only on a single page slow down the homepage at all? Thanks for your help.

]]>Thanks for your help. I said I would follow up on the conversation with 2046 here:
[resolved] Getting error msg after install of easy widget.
I have not gotten to the bottom of this problem and the situation now is that I have Easy installed and the website is working correctly. However, I cannot turn on my other plugin W3 Total Cache, and this is a problem. I also have a third plugin called WordPress Page Widgets that has allowed me to choose what widgets get shown for each category. I think there is a compatibility issue involving some combination of these three plugins. W3 Total Cache is likely not where the problem is originating but I can’t turn it on at this time without major issues because it is not liking something. Could there be compatibility issues between Easy and W3 Total Cache. Or between Easy and WordPress Page Widgets?
I have emailed W3 Total Cache to see if they can fix this issue too.
]]>Hi,
I need to set the control of widget output for multiple IDs but if I enter more than one ID (comma separated with or without space) the widget won’t be shown.
I use the responsive theme with a few plugins, get no error. My Site: dev.zitrusblau.de/iav-industrial
You can see it on the page “Kompetenzen”, here is a sidebar, which called “Kompetent in:”. In this sidebar you can navigate to some other sites which have another sidebar with links to some posts of custom post type. On each of these posts should be shown the same sidebar-widget, but there is no sidebar shown. I tried the same with standard wordpress post types, same result.
So the input of multiple post ids don’t work anyway and I need this feature very urgent!
