I'm working with a plug-in called Excerpts+ for Headway that makes it possible to insert images into posts and then create a slider with the plug-in, which I love...but the problem is that because it uses posts (i.e. insert images into posts, put it under it's own special category, and then assign the category to the slider)...the names of these posts still show up under recent posts.

Is there a way for me to control what is listed under Recent Posts - or will I need another plugin, and if so is there one you can recommend from personal experience that is reliable?

Thanks!

Pam, I don't have a direct answer to your question but wanted to suggest that this sounds like something that can probably be fixed with a little customized code (without adding yet another plugin to the mix)...

Have you tried getting in touch with the creators of Excerpts to ask them if it might be a hack they themselves could provide?

Tee hee - That's definitely the path I would take, and I have no doubt they could provide one, except we are talking about the worst customer service and almost zero response out there. LOL...

I think what I'll need to do is to do a hack for WP itself with some PHP. Been reading some things in the codex, and I think I may have found a way to take the posts and separate out into a category, and then eliminate the category from posting.

Now just need to figure out where exactly to put the code snippet I found. Thanks Tess!!!

Pam,

I believe Headway has a forum to post questions. I often have much better luck with forum responses than direct questions to the designer.

If not, try the forum on Wordpress.org...there are some questions posted there about Excerpts for Headway.

It sounds like you've made some progress, yay! And Janine made some great suggestions too (as always )

If you still find yourself stuck you could always post the code you're working with along with a description of the issue in the Website Coding section here on VAF and someone might be able to help you work out just where to put that snippet.

Good luck!

Hi Janine - Ya..Headway does have a forum that I use frequently, however, they consider this 3rd party software so they don't directly support it...and while Chris the designer does monitor his section of the forum, his responses are usually sporadic and not always the most timely....unfortunately.

Thanks so much, as always for your feedback. I appreciate you both a ton!
