Hi,

I’ve made that fix. Still no luck. The Recent Posts widget still shows all categories of posts. Here is the full widget code (of which, I have only changed the line you recommended.) Thx.

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Recent Posts Widget
Plugin URI: https://skat.tf/
Description: A simple widget to display the recent posts.
Version: 1.00
Author: Skat
Author URI: https://skat.tf/
*/

// The widget class
class sd_recent_posts_widget extends WP_Widget {

// Widget Settings
function sd_recent_posts_widget() {

$widget_ops = array( ‘classname’ => ‘sd_recent_posts_widget’, ‘description’ => __(‘A widget to display the recent posts.’, ‘sd-framework’) );
$control_ops = “”;
$this->WP_Widget( ‘sd_recent_posts_widget’, __(‘Recent Posts’, ‘sd-framework’), $widget_ops, $control_ops );
}

// Widget Output
function widget($args, $instance) {
extract($args);
$title = apply_filters(‘widget_title’, $instance[‘title’]);

// Before the widget
echo $before_widget;

// Display the widget title if one was input
if ( $title )
echo $before_title . $title . $after_title;

// Display the Feedburner subscribe form
?>

<div class=”popular-posts”>

<?php
$recent_posts = new WP_Query();
$recent_posts->query(‘cat=17&showposts=’.$instance[‘postcount’].”);
while ($recent_posts->have_posts()) : $recent_posts->the_post(); ?>
<li class=”clearfix”>
<?php if ( (function_exists(‘has_post_thumbnail’)) && (has_post_thumbnail()) ) : /* if post has post thumbnail */ ?>
<div class=”popular-post-thumb”>
<figure>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(‘recent-blog’); ?>
</figure>
</div>
<!–image–>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class=”popular-posts-content”>
<h4>” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”>
<?php the_title(); ?>

</h4>
<p><?php echo substr(get_the_excerpt(), 0, 55); ?></p>
<span class=”popular-date”> <?php echo get_the_date( get_option(‘date_format’) ); ?> </span> <span class=”popular-comments”>,
<?php comments_popup_link( ‘0 comments’, ‘1 comment’, ‘% comments’, ‘comments-link’, ‘comments closed’); ?>
</span> </div>
<!–details–>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

</div>
<?php
// After the widget
echo $after_widget;
}
// Update the widget
function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) {
$instance = $old_instance;
$instance[‘title’] = strip_tags( $new_instance[‘title’] );
$instance[‘postcount’] = strip_tags( $new_instance[‘postcount’] );

return $instance;
}

// Widget panel settings
function form( $instance ) {

// Default widgets settings
$defaults = array(
‘title’ => ‘Recent Posts’,
‘postcount’ => ‘3’
);
$instance = wp_parse_args( (array) $instance, $defaults ); ?>

<!– Widget Title: Text Input –>
<p>
<label for=”<?php echo $this->get_field_id( ‘title’ ); ?>”>
<?php _e(‘Title:’, ‘sd-framework’) ?>
</label>
<input class=”widefat” type=”text” id=”<?php echo $this->get_field_id( ‘title’ ); ?>” name=”<?php echo $this->get_field_name( ‘title’ ); ?>” value=”<?php echo $instance[‘title’]; ?>” />
</p>

<!– Post Count: Text Input –>
<p>
<label for=”<?php echo $this->get_field_id( ‘postcount’ ); ?>”>
<?php _e(‘Post Count’, ‘sd-framework’) ?>
</label>
<input class=”widefat” type=”text” id=”<?php echo $this->get_field_id( ‘postcount’ ); ?>” name=”<?php echo $this->get_field_name( ‘postcount’ ); ?>” value=”<?php echo $instance[‘postcount’]; ?>” />
</p>
<?php
}
}
// Register and load the widget
function sd_recent_posts_widget() {
register_widget( ‘sd_recent_posts_widget’ );
}
add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘sd_recent_posts_widget’ );
?>

Good to know that I can’t use the default one. I know ho to create another custom link for the menu nav, but I want it to have the yellow “button” effect. How do I do that?

Thanks!

Thank you – that worked!

Thanks – that worked for the slider. Can you send a fix for the same margin issue at the bottom of the page. Screenshot attached. Thx Chris.

I’ve resolved this. For anyone else with this issue, you have to manually install the plugins, which are located in Charity folder > framework > plugins.
