Wonderful videos! Explanations very clear, and followups to queries ditto.

Now I’ve got …curve ball

Supposing I have a static HOME page. (blog is, obviously, on the BLOG page). Supposing I have 5 categories of BLOG posts. I want to display 3 of those categories on the static HOME. Now…

How can I get the static HOME page to have 3 instances of the Query Post plugin in order to display from my three chosen categories?

thanks!

Is it possible to put this in a sidebar? or maybe someone would know a solution to my problem I am having… I want to have certain “things of the month” like DJ of the month and Producer of the month on my wordpress page…. I want there to be a thumbnail image in the sidebar with maybe their name and a little caption…. when the user clicks on it I want it to go to a page similar to how the pages look with the query post… how they are all lined up with the thumbnail and the excerpt of the story…so you can see all the past “people of the month ” as well.. sdoes anyone have any suggestions on the best way to do this?

[...] To go one step further you can combine this plugin with the Widget Logic plugin to show or hide it using WordPress Conditionals.

It’s not my fault! I paste all…

array( ‘Thumbnail’, ‘thumbnail’ ), ‘default_size’ => ‘thumbnail’ ) ); ?>

and

array( ‘feature_img’ ), ‘default_size’ => ‘thumbnail’, ‘width’ => ‘100′, ‘height’ => ‘75′, ‘image_class’ => ‘feature’ ) ); ?>

Hope it’ok now…

Oops, sorry:

actually I have:

array( ‘feature_img’ ), ‘default_size’ => ‘thumbnail’, ‘width’ => ‘100′, ‘height’ => ‘75′, ‘image_class’ => ‘feature’ ) ); ?>

and before it was:

array ( ‘Thumbnail’, ‘thumbnail’ ), ‘default_size’ => ‘thumbnail’ ) ); ?>

Thanks…

Hi, WordPress Modder.
I installed the plugin Query Posts ,”With A Little Help from my friend”
I need to know how the creation of thumbnails work. I mean: this is the line I have in the query-posts.php actually:
array( ‘feature_img’ ), ‘default_size’ => ‘thumbnail’, ‘width’ => ‘100′, ‘height’ => ‘75′, ‘image_class’ => ‘feature’ ) ); ?>
I had to changed it because otherwise with
array( ‘Thumbnail’, ‘thumbnail’ ), ‘default_size’ => ‘thumbnail’ ) ); ?>
it doesn’t change the image size. I set WP settings–> media into thumbnail size w 100 and h 75 and checked to cut the image at the right size. But it always create bigger thumbs, size 300×300. Should I change something in the Get The Image plugin?
Which are the correct settings from the Wp dashboard and the right code to put in the query-post.php?
I’m so near to see the right result, and I can’t get it! Awful!
