This plugin has not been updated for a long while and it now conflicts with the display of comments and reply to comments.
When deactivated, comments reappear.
shortcode:
[rotating-posts category_name=”comments-rotate”]
The plugin adds a line return to the website output. This can be an issue because it affects feed output.
The culprit is an extra line return at the end of the rotating-posts.php file

]]>Hi,
I love this plugin and it is exactly what I am looking for, however when I enable it it gives me the dreaded blank white screen (when I try to login, update a post, etc…).
Has there been any other issues like this, or does anyone know of another rotating post plugin I can try?
Thanks,
Jen
For some reason when I use the short code it puts the last post in the rotator under the rotator.
I was able to get around this by creating a template and not using the short code but this is not an optimal solution for me.
Thanks,

]]>Great plugin! Thanks. I have several news-type posts that have images right at the top of them. The images seem to be shown in the rotating posts area alomg with the content. Not thumbnails, but the actual image (same size) from the post.
Is there a way to omit the images from the posts and just have the content text show in the rotating post widget?

after typing [rotating-posts] in my posts or pages they won’t load anymore. Nothing is rotating at all.
What am I doing wrong?

I would love to be able to select the order of the posts in the slider with a custom value. Any way this could be added to a future update? ??

]]>Hi guys,
I’m trying to customise the appearance of the rotating posts widget. I am not really much of a coder so please keep this at beginner level! I am wanting to adjust the box height (smaller) and I uploaded some new button icons but they aren’t appearing? Any suggestions? I can’t see where I go to adjust the css nor what I would adjust as I’m not that good with css.
Thanks,

]]>I’m trying to add two lots of rotating posts to this page:
https://www.nickwilliams.org/books/jaggedredline
The first lot of posts rotates but the second doesn’t. When I refresh the page, a new quote appears in the second post rotator box.
Does anyone know if it’s possible to have 2 lots of rotating posts on the same page? (I’m not keen on it personally but it’s what my friend has requested)
]]>I would like to use the rotating post slider, but it is with a custom post type. The custom post type name is Listings, but that is not available for a selection, so in the shortcode I was wondering if there is a way I can include so it only uses the Custom Post Type in the rotating posts
]]>I use Rotating Post as a quote rotator in a multilingual page. It works perfectly together with qTranlate. For my purpose I don’t need Rotating Post to show any navigation line at the bottom of the quote, meaning: no “<“, “>”, “||”, no “1” “2” “3”, no links at all.
I couldn’t find where this is defined.
1. This is the content output code in Mark Inderhees rotating_post.php file:
echo " <div class='rp_post_content'>{$postContent}</div>\n";2. How do I wrap the following code around the above statment:
<?php
$excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
echo string_limit_words($excerpt,25);
?>IF…. this is the code in my functions.php file:
<?php
function string_limit_words($string, $word_limit)
{
$words = explode(' ', $string, ($word_limit + 1));
if(count($words) > $word_limit)
array_pop($words);
return implode(' ', $words);
}

I tried to find where to remove the code that display image/youtube from the post in the rotator but didn’t find it.
Can you help?

]]>Alot of you are trying to figure out how to get this rotating post to show the “read me” option like it shows in the demo. Just to let you know, the code for this is in the php file but it is not working. I sat here for about 4 hours trying to get it to work. In short, just follow these steps:
Step 1)Make sure your in the rotating posts.php file
Step 2) Where you see the line code “load_plugin_textdomain….” add this line of code at the bottom:
$rp_read_more = (“true” == get_option(RP_OPTION_READ_MORE_DEFAULT));
This section of the load plugin code should look like this after you make the changes:
load_plugin_textdomain("rotating-posts", str_replace(ABSPATH, "", dirname(__FILE__) . "/lang") , dirname(plugin_basename(__FILE__)) . "/lang");
$rp_number_posts = get_option(RP_OPTION_NUMBER_POSTS);
$rp_use_this_category = get_option(RP_OPTION_USE_THIS_CATEGORY);
$rp_timer_sec = get_option(RP_OPTION_TIMER_SEC);
$rp_display_thumbnails = ("true" == get_option(RP_OPTION_THUMBNAILS));
$rp_display_title = ("true" == get_option(RP_OPTION_TITLE));
$rp_display_arrows = ("true" == get_option(RP_OPTION_ARROWS));
$rp_display_date_time = ("true" == get_option(RP_OPTION_DATE_TIME));
$rp_display_author = ("true" == get_option(RP_OPTION_AUTHOR));
$rp_display_categories = ("true" == get_option(RP_OPTION_CATEGORIES));
$rp_display_comments = ("true" == get_option(RP_OPTION_COMMENTS));
$rp_custom_content = ("true" == get_option(RP_OPTION_CUSTOM_CONTENT));
$rp_left = get_option(RP_OPTION_LEFT);
$rp_right = get_option(RP_OPTION_RIGHT);
$rp_pause_normal = get_option(RP_OPTION_PAUSE_NORMAL);
$rp_pause_pressed = get_option(RP_OPTION_PAUSE_PRESSED);
<strong>$rp_read_more = ("true" == get_option(RP_OPTION_READ_MORE_DEFAULT));</strong>Step 3)Scroll further down to where you see the if statement:
if ($rp_WPQuery->have_posts())
{
for ($count = 0; $count < $rp_number_posts; $count++)
{
$rp_WPQuery->the_post();
global $more;
$more = false;Change to word false to 0 as in the number zero.
Step 4) Inside of this if statement there is an else statement. Add the end of the else add this line of code:
$postReadmore = get_option(RP_OPTION_READ_MORE_DEFAULT);
The else statement should now look like this:
else
{
$postStyle = "display:none;";
}
$postPermalink = get_permalink();
$postTitle = get_the_title();
$postTime = get_the_time(get_option(RP_OPTION_DATE_TIME_STR));
$postAuthor = get_the_author();
$postCategory = get_the_category_list(", ");
$postComments = get_comments_link();
$rp_by_author_text = get_option(RP_OPTION_AUTHOR_PREFIX) . " " . $postAuthor;
$rp_posted_in_category_text = sprintf(__("Posted in %s", 'rotating-posts'), $postCategory);
$rp_comments_text = __("Comments", 'rotating-posts');
<strong>$postReadmore = get_option(RP_OPTION_READ_MORE_DEFAULT);</strong>Step 5)As you scroll further down you will see a few things that are being echoed out. Theres an echo for the title, date and so on. Look for the one that is echoing out the postContent. You are going to comment out that echo like so:
//echo " <div class='rp_post_content'>{$postContent}</div>\n";
And add this line of code:
the_content("Read more...");
Now it should look like this:
else if ($rp_display_author)
{
echo " <div class='rp_post_time_author'><span class='rp_post_author'>{$rp_by_author_text}</span></div>\n";
}
<strong>//echo " <div class='rp_post_content'>{$postContent}</div>\n";
the_content("Read more...");</strong>Step 6)Now go into your post and add the wordpress more tag to where ever you want to cut the article off at. This is the word press more tag:
<!--more-->
Step 7) Your done. Some of the above steps may or may not be needed, im pretty sure all I need is step 5 and step 6 for the code to work, but I ended up going through the steps 1 through 4 to try to get this read me to work and wouldnt work at all until I added in step 5. You can go ahead an try just step 5 and 6 to see if it works but I spent so much time trying to figure out why it doesnt work that I really dont feel like going back to cleaning up the code right now. I also found out that the way the creator of this rotating post set up the read more code, it actually works when u add the read more code. The problem is that it doesnt show the word ” Read more” when you run the site. Dont believe me? Try it. Before you make any changes to the code just go ahead and add the <!--more--> tag to your post. Make sure that the post and long enough. When you run it you will see that the post is being cut off but it doesnt show the word ” read more”. I tried to figure out why it was doing this but I pretty much gave up on that and figured out how to get it to work.
Hi,
Smashing plug in but the comments box and tags from the oldest of the rotating posts are appearing on the bottom of the home page. If a comment is left the post’s page is opened and the comment added there.
If possible I really need to get rid of these tags and comments.
I’ve tried other news sliders etc but this is the only one that works properly on my employer’s IT (IE6, no Flash. Fun, fun, fun.)
This is the test page: https://pcseuston.org.uk/home-rotating-posts-test/
Somebody did ask about this last year but the thread was closed without a reply. I’m asking again in case anybody’s figured it out in the meantime.

Hi,
Thanks for this great plugin. I’m wandering if there is a way to add post title and/or custom fields underneth the thumbnails.
I’ve tried doing it by editing part of plugins php but getting only one and same title underneath all thumbnails is the most i could do.
Thanks!

I think I set up Rotating Posts correctly. I haven’t updated any of the plugin code, just overwrote the CSS. It looks exactly the way I’d like it to.
For some reason though, the posts aren’t rotating. I’ve tried in several browsers on several computers. You can see it in use on this site, in the white strip that has arrows and starts with Case Study 3:
https://ec2-50-18-7-202.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/
Unfortunately none of the posts about this issue seem to describe the solution. I’d appreciate any help. Thank you!
