Having this exact same issue – and I don’t have a twitter feed plug in running. Anyone have any other fixes?

Hm…I uninstalled the plugin and re-installed it, and now it seems to be working fine (just deactivating it was not enough). Has anyone else seen this?

What was happening was that when you tried to go to:
https://readingandchickens.com/feed/

It would instead send you to:
https://readingandchickens.com/feed/feeds.feedburner.com/readingandchickens

Which is a 404 error. Hm.

I think I have solved it – I must be using an older version of the plugin, the parameter it wanted was srp_custom_post_type_option. Then it worked!

Just tried it with only the “custom_post_type” parameter and it still returns all posts. ??

Gave it a try, but it still returns all posts, not just my custom post type. Does this look right to you?

$sp_args = array( ‘custom_post_type’ => ‘article_type’, ‘orderby’ => ‘date’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’ );

special_recent_posts($sp_args);

Okay, I’m back again – found everything on that list except the custom post type parameter. Can it be passed?

Nevermind, found the list here:

I just sat down to have another go at debugging this problem and…it seems to have magically resolved. All I did was deactivate the plugin, then reactivate it again. Guess it was a ghost in the machine!

Hm, I see what you mean about the pagination issue. Thanks for the code snippet, I will play around with it in my template and see what I can do.

So far, great. I went through about 10 ad managers looking for one that would be easy and intuitive for my client to use, and yours was the winner.

I’m using it as a sidebar widget and my only “wish list” item would be to allow a few posts from the “group” to be displayed in a column. My client would like to show up to 3 ads at a time, so right now I have put the widget in the sidebar three times. It’d be great to be able to set the widget to just grab any three ads from the group and TCB.

But otherwise, fantastic!

Oh my God, I am an idiot. Problem is that I have Adblock Plus installed on top of Firefox and forgot to turn it off for this page. SO glad my humiliation is public. GAH.

Update: I think there are two problems here – one is a problem with my theme adding a strange class tag, and the other is the question mark included in the URL given for the tracking link for the ad.

If I copy the HTML shown into a page, I can get it to work by escaping that question mark to %3F. Does anyone know how I can make this change in the AdRotate code itself?

Apparently you need the pro version of this plugin to get this functionality. There’s also something called Slideshow Sattelite, apparently the premium edition of that will allow multiple slideshows on a site.

I think you can workaround by creating a private post full of pictures, then using that post as the feeder to your second slideshow (because the [slideshow] command can take a post ID as a parameter). However, the resulting slideshow will have to have the exact same dimensions as the other one you created, as the settings are the same for all slideshows; also, I’m not sure how you set title/description info for the pictures (perhaps it picks up the alt/title tags?). Anyway, some things to try.

Same bug seen here as well. I’ll go with your workaround for now, rwhaun.

Sorry, I can’t give you access. I wound up deactivating this plugin and going with WP-DP-Backup instead – works like a charm!
