Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Recent Posts Widget With Thumbnails
The WordPress version should be at least 2.9 to use featured images. The theme should support wp_head() in the HTML header section to print the CSS code for a beautiful alignment of the thumbnails.
Yes. Type in the web address of the thumbnail and click on "Save". That's all.
Yes. You can enter the desired width and height of the thumbnails or select one of the sizes as set in 'Settings' > 'Media'.
To keep the plugin lightweight: no. Please set the alignment in the CSS of your theme instead.
To keep the plugin lightweight: no. Please set the CSS in the Customizer at "Additional CSS".
Yes. It works with images previously uploaded into the media library. You can select to prefer the first image to the featured image or to use the first image only.
Use the "Excerpt" box below the editor on a post edit page in the backend. The plugin uses those user-defined excerpts unchanged "as is". If there is no text in the "Excerpt" box the plugin tries to build an excerpt via the post content. Since there is the "maximum length of the excerpt" option shortening the HTML content would lead to severe layout errors. So before shortening all HTML tags and shortcodes are removed.
There is no pot file coming anymore with the plugin. With version 7.1 the translation was moved to translate.wordpress.org. If you want to contribute a translation of the plugin in your language it would be great!
