Can you give some specifics on how to customize the look of the widget? For example, you use h5 for the title of “Latest Posts”, however, each widget on my site uses h1 which is defined as:
#content h1 {
color: #000000;
font-size: 22px;
font-family: Century Gothic, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 25px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 20px 0px 10px 0px;
border-top: 2px solid #000000;
}
What would I put in the “In-line CSS style for heading H5″ box?
(for now I’ve gone into the o.php file and changed all the h5 references to h1, however, I would like to change some of the other options)
Any help is greatly appreciated!

William,
You have a number of ways to style the DIV that is generated by the plugin, the inline style options are really a last resort. You can amend your CSS file and style the all H5’s in the DIV the same as your H1’s:
OR, just append to the existing style:
OR set the inline style for the H5 using the plugin admin options to:
All should work. Hope you like the plugin!

Perfect! Thanks for the response!
So far the plugin is working great. There seems to be an issue with it placing a “.” for posts that begin with a photograph, however, not really a big issue.
Thanks for the help!

Hey there.
I really like the idea of this plugin and it works well as a widget. I am however having trouble getting it to work in a page or post.
On your site you instruct to use the following path:
I downloaded the plugin from the WordPress site and found the path to the php file doesn’t include the .1.4 in the name.. It’s actually more like this:
However as my site is installed the root directory I actually made it
I tried placing this code into a new page and also a post with no other content in the page/post so no HTML in there. Neither way worked. I don’t see the content appearing at all. As I said it’s working fine as a widget on my site. I’m using version 2.3.2..
Any help with this would be great..

well I guess you can’t post the code as a comment.. Has anyone else had problems trying to get this to work on a page or post ?

Sorry Rich, my documentation isn’t very clear - you can’t add to a Wordpress post at the moment, just a widget or embedded into a PHP page of your own. I’ll rewrite the documentation and try to add a page embedded version soon.

I’m trying to get my recent 5 posts to display on an external php page. I’ve almost got it all to work except the very bottom, i’m getting this error:
Warning: fopen(whatsNewFreshHappening.HTML) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home2/allmylo/public_html/editorials/wp-content/plugins/whats-new-whats-fresh-whats-happening/whats_new_whats_fresh_whats_happening_o.php on line 79
can’t open file
any ideas?

Sin - use UNIX to set the file permissions. You need to ensure read permissions as a minimum:
chmod 444 whats_new_whats_fresh_whats_happening_o.php
