plugin does not work, what secrets are not disclosed?
Plugin works upto 3.4, not sure about 3.5…. soon we modify this
Love this widget! quick question though, how do you make it so it doesn’t show gallery coding on the preview? it looks like this: [gallery link="post" ids="147,149"] This is a test page blah blah blah… more
Open the plugin file (index.php) and search for “$this->get_excerpt($exp_length)” and replace it with “strip_shortcodes($this->get_excerpt($exp_length))”. This will solve your problem 🙂
Thanks, still works great with 3.7.1
I’m trying to scale my thumbnail images to a max width of 50px. Vertical images seems to just be compressed no matter what I try.
max-width:50px; height:auto; is not working.
max-height:75px; width:auto; does however scale proportionally for both vertical and horizontal images.
Any ideas?
