[Plugin: Recent Posts] Recent-Posts plugin disables AwsomNews plugin

Both of these plugins work great on their own, so I decided to try them together on a client’s site on one of my pages.

RecentPosts seems to have disabled my AwsomNews plugin

AwsomeNews uses %%awsomnews%%

Recents-Post uses <!--RecentPosts-->

If I add the <!--RecentPosts--> tag, the AwsomNews tag displays %%awsomnews%% instead of the generated announcement.

I’ve been playing around with it, moved it to a different spot on the page, etc, but the only thing that brings back the news announcement is removing the <!–RecentPosts–> tag and of course, I don’t want to do that.

If I replace <!–RecentPosts–> with the HTML generated, the news announcement displays fine.

So it’s not the output itself, but something that must still be open/active during the call to Recent Posts that is not allowing the AwsomNews plug in to be recognized?

I’m thinking out loud here – I only know enough PHP to harm myself and others ??
