Related Posts Thumbnails v1.3

I ran autoupdate and it just killed my homemade css and design
Now I have to roll back.

Hi Chis, I don’t understand how it’s possible. Where do you change plugin design and CSS? The only way it can be overwritten if you changed that in plugin file itself.

Indeed, I must had changed the entire file in order to modify the design, too bad these updates are changing those codes too and since I modified them, some months passed, can’t remember exactly what I did.

Thanks.
Chris.

Chris, If you change plugin file, the new version of plugin will overwrite your changes to that file. Try to find backup of your blog files or cached pages can help (like cached in Google for example or other search engines or archives).
The best way to add your own design is to do the following: 1) Select “List” as Output style in plugin settings. 2) Now you can turn off Plugin inline CSS 3) Add your styles using #related-posts-thumbnails selector in your theme’s styles.css. Check this http://wordpress.shaldybina.com/plugins/related-posts-thumbnails/#display_editing This way you can guarantee that updating plugin won’t affect your design changes.

The plugin is so good that i like it very much,thanks a lot!~

First of all, thank you for your work! – I am wondering if it is possible to include the current post among the results. It’s for a project where this thumbnails serve as the menu. Kind regards, Petra.

HI Petra, you need to change database query in plugin for this (line 147) and remove condition ” and ID<>” .$id

Thank you so much! I will come back here when the project is finished

Hi,

I see in the code that one can set the size of the thumbnails, but there’s no interface for that in the settings. When I changed the code in related-posts-thumbnails.php, there was no change.

My reason for changing the thumbnail size is that I’d like to have 5, not 3 related posts shown, but after 3 it wraps even though it has 630px of width to use.

I’m seeing plenty of WP sites using this, but they all show only 3 posts. Is this a fixed thing or can it be changed without wrapping?

Any way of setting the thumb size?

Thanks so much for a great plugin.

Bob

Hi Bob, please read this http://wordpress.shaldybina.com/plugins/related-posts-thumbnails/#thumb_sizes

Thank you for your prompt reply. Unfortunately, that solution results in altering the thumbnail sizes throughout my site. My theme is using several different sizes. When applied, this solution standardized all thumbnails to the same size.

This however, explains why other sites are sticking to the 3 thumb option. In a future edition, I hope you’ll consider putting an interface in the settings to control the thumbnail size and wrapping.

Till then, I’ll follow the pack and stick to the 3 thumbs option as well.

Bob, in the link I gave you there is an option to add completely new thumbnail size without changing your current thumbnails.

Hi Maria, first, thanks for this great plugin !

I got a problem today. Since I installed “custom sidebar”, everthing went wrong in my real sidebar, related post thumbnails widget disapeared like others. Then I removed “custom sidebar” but now related post thumbnails show my pictures in the sidebar, it’s right, but also after the post content, what I don’t need, and I can’t find why when I turn off the automatic append box, nothing happens ?

Any idea ?

Thanks again

Hi, Maria! I installed the plugin to my new buddypress site and it’s great, I love it, and in my admin panel I see you are the author! Amazing, thank you so much! The world is so small )

Thank you, Maria! I am glad you liked it

Hi NYCSingleMom, yes, please check the plugin page for changing thumbnail size: http://wordpress.shaldybina.com/plugins/related-posts-thumbnails/#thumb_sizes

Hi! Everything used to work up until recently. I have reinstalled WP and reinstalled both Related Post Thumbnails and Generate Thumbnails. However, not all thumbs are showing. Is there a fix for this?

Mm, check that posts that are not working have featured thumbnails

Great plugin! Works perfect for my site http://www.vcar7.com
