Nice plugin. What I’m unsure about is how it sorts the categories by default. I’m wanting to sort them alphabetically but am unsure how to do it. If you could point me in the right direction that would be great.

This is great, but I would like to alter it so I can drag it to multiple widget ready areas. I would like to do this so that I could have the most recent entry for categories a,b,c in three side by side boxes. Do you have an idea of how to go about this?

This plugin is fabulous!

I’m wondering if it could be adapted to also show sub categories?

In addition to my last comment…

The plugin works on my other sites, so I can only imagine there is a conflict with either my theme or another plugin for the site I really want this on.

Oh well…

I’m bummed. The plugin widget doesn’t display any categories for me to select. Thought maybe it was in conflict with WishList member plugin, but someone else commented he has it working on his Wishlist site.

Would it be possible to alter this plugin to display recently edited posts?

The plugin does not list any categories except Uncategorized. Any reason? I am using it in a widget on the home page.

Maybe I missed the documentation, but I read thru all the comments and still I haven’t found out how to edit the styling to display categories. I tried editing lpbc-archive.css but it didn’t work. I want to be able to set the padding, the margin and more… I don’t like the default padding. Any helps will be appreciated and sorry for my english.

Hi there,
loving this plugin and using it extensively. I like being able to display dates, but I didn’t like how the date format was YYYY-MM-DD.

Here’s my adjustment to get the plugin to follow the date format specified in the general settings of wordpress (starting at line 129)

if ($date == true) {
$mydate = substr($postinfo->post_date,0,10);
$myformat = get_option(‘date_format’);
$prettydate = date($myformat,strtotime($mydate));
$thedate = ”.apply_filters(‘the_date’,$prettydate).”;
}

best relate post plugin that I ever used

sorry, that wont work for anyone, for some reason the html elements I added within the php code have been stripped out when I posted my comment. Won’t work without those I’m afraid.

I have managed to alter the code in lpbc-archive.php so that the output shows an image (the first image that appears in the original post). The code I have added is inbetween the —— lines. (above and below these lines shows the placing of the code in lpbc-archive.php).

if (isset($excerpts) && $excerpts==true)

———————————————-

$getimage = preg_match_all(‘//i’, $postinfo->post_content, $matches);
$getimage = $matches [1] [0];
$image = “”;
$output .=”.$image.”;

———————————————–

$output .=”.$excerpt.”;

$output .= ”;

I’m not good at php, so don’t know if this is all correct, but it seems to work for me…so far!

Hi. The plugin is working great for me. Just one question. Is there any way I can modify the php code to include a post’s image in the output?
Thanks

This plugin is AWESOME! Looks like a few people here were looking for the same thing and I agree, it does EXACTLY what I wanted it to do. Got it working in my sidebar. I styled my sidebar using the before_widget and after_widget in my themes functions.php, to create blocks around each widget. I dont know enough about php to understand why this didnt pick that up, but I was able (somehow) to code my styles into your php file. It looks so great i could hug you! Nice and tidy and hiding the categories I dont want! Havent tried the short code in posts and pages, but the possibilities seem endless. thank you thank you thank you. Wordpress should hire you to build this in.

Is there a way to easily order the posts by publish date instead of ID?

I have a blog I’m using for a social media press center. I’m loading in the press releases and back dating them to match when the press release was released. The problem is the LPBC plugin orders them by the ID and not the pub date. So they are listed by the order I dropped them into the admin and not by the publish date I assigned them.

I would like to change this so that they are latest from most recent to oldest by pub date.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
