Post title filter example

To use the the hook add a filter ‘widget_title’ in wp-content\Themes[your-Theme]\functions.php:

function cruise_shortcode_iconship( $html ) {
return “prefix-” . $html . “-suffix”;
}
add_filter( ‘widget_title’, ‘cruise_shortcode_iconship’ );

The feature image dimention are not correctly displayed?

Enable the option “Use CSS cropping”. This option don’t care about stored setting (Settings > Media) or added image sizes. What is ‘CSS feature image cropping’?

Excerpt length filter doesn’t works

When a post has no manual excerpt WordPress generates an excerpt automatically by selecting the first 55 words of the post or the first words number setted by the excerpt filter length. This means the excerpt length filter works only with automatic excerpt. If you manually added an excerpt, you’d want it all to be shown.
WordPress Codex: Excerpt, automatic excerpt, and teaser

I want the title as a link pointing to the selected Categorie page?

Enable the check box “Make widget title link”.

Exclude (-terms) text area

To multiselect or clear terms in the “exclude”-text area hold CTRL-key + mouse click

Works great but I couldn’t find a way to remove / change the header “SAME CATEGORY” words. Any clue please? Oops! I found how to do it. It’s under the widget properties. Sorry for the false alarm.

I tried a number of different related post type plugins and this one was by far the easiest to use, and most effective. 5 stars!

Thanks for the great plugin. I have been looking for a plugin that can have similar formats: A title (H2), an excerpt and a thumbnail in a right position. This plugin has all I need.

I was looking for showing post list from the same category only, then after few weeks search, I found this plugin. Salute to you for this great plugin.

I bought this product because I wanted my posts to look exactly like the pictures. I initially had trouble installing it due to an error message, and customer service responded promptly that I had to uninstall the free version before installing the premium version. However, upon installing the premium version, I did not feel that it operated exactly as described. The product did not display a vertical scrolling news ticker for my WordPress blog and display posts as displayed in the picture. It looked different and, therefore, I had no use for the product. I emailed customer service THE SAME NIGHT that I purchased it for a refund and NEVER got a response. When I later disputed the purchase through Paypal, the company promptly responded but refused to give a refund. Luckily, I am only out $12 but I am advising potential buyers not to make the same mistake that I did and purchase the product.
