Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Feature A Page Widget

Yes. Because this is a widget, there is no direct integration with the WordPress post editor and the basic features of this plugin are uneffected. However, if you are using the new editor, note the new location of the Excerpt field in the sidebar.

The widget gets its image from the "Featured Image" field on the page you are featuring. Go to the page you're featuring. In the right sidebar, look for the "Set Featured Image" link. Use the media picker to find the image and then select "Use as Featured Image." Update the page and you're ready to go.

The widget gets its text from the "Excerpt" field on the page you are featuring. See also: "Can I use HTML or a WYSIWYG/TinyMCE Editor with the Excerpt Field?" Go to the page you want to featured. Below the body field, look for the "Excerpt" field. Fill it in. Update the page.

The Featured Image and Excerpt fields are found on the Page editing screen of the Page you want to feature. If you don't see them: In the top right corner of any Page, click "Screen Options." From the menu that slides down, make sure the "Excerpt" and "Featured Image" are both checked. WordPress will remember this choice on all pages.

Indeed! Pages and Posts are feature-able by default. Use fpw_post_types filter to add support for custom post types or remove Posts or Pages.

The widget offers three ways to customize its design and output. The right method for you depends on what you want to accomplish and what you're comfortable doing technically. Write your own CSS rules. The plugin's CSS selectors have as low a priority as possible, so you should be able to override styles easily. See /css/fpw_start_styles.css for a starter stylesheet you can copy and modify. Filter the Title, Excerpt, or Image. Version 1.0 included the fpw_page_title, fpw_excerpt, and fpw_featured_image filters. Version 2.0 adds new filters fpw_post_types, fpw_widget_templates, fpw_read_more_text, and fpw_image_size. Override the Widget's output template. Each widget layout can be overridden by a template in any parent or child theme. Create an /fpw2_views/ in the active theme's folder and copy any layout files from /wp-content/plugins/feature-a-page-widget/fpw2_views/ into the new folder to modify. Create a custom layout. See this example for using the fpw_widget_templates filter. You can add new custom layouts or remove installed ones. Using the filter to only return a single layout removes the layout option from the widget and automatically uses the remaining layout.

Install the Rich Text Excerpts plugin or Advanced Excerpt plugins. Either plugin should take note and display your nicely formatted excerpt.

Use the fpw_read_more_text filter.

Use the fpw_image_size filter.

There's a filter for that too. See fpw_auto_excerpt.
