FAQ
- Can I use this in more than one widget area?
-
Yes, this plugin has been made for multi-widget compatibility. Each instance of the widget will display, if wanted, differently than every other instance of the widget.
- How can I style the plugin output?
-
The plugin uses several «common» WordPress functions that create standard class and id elements that can be styled in the style.css file
* the classes generated by the post_class() function; and, the id generated by «post-» apended to the_ID() function wrap the general post output
* the plugin classpost-details
wraps the general meta details of the post, such as the Author, Categories, Tags, etc.
* the overall plugin may also be wrapped in a widget «container» class, or id, specific to the theme itself such as (but not limited to): widget, sidebar, left, right, etc.With the addition of the display Category Description option an additional class was written into the plugin. To style the category description displayed add the class ‹fpt-cat-desc› to your style.css file then use your choice of properties to style the text, for example:
.fpt-cat-desc {font-style: italic;}
- Can I increase the maximum posts to display?

As of version 1.0 the Total Posts to Display is independent of the «posts per page» setting as set under Settings | Reading. But it is not fully implemented
