Frequently Asked Questions

Filters

upw_enqueue_styles (boolean) Allows changing whether to load the template CSS file(s).

upw_wp_query_args (array) Allows changing the WP_Query arguments for the widget.

upw_custom_template_path (string) Allows changing the default custom template path.

Templates

legacy As of version 2.0.0 we changed the widget HTML markup. For installs prior to 2.0.0 you can use the legacy template to retain the old HTML markup and compatibility.

standard The new standard template as of version 2.0.0. It features better HTML5 markup, improved styling on various themes without the need for custom CSS, and hfeed microformat.

custom As of version 2.0.0 you can now provide your own custom template files. To do this, create a directory named upw in your theme and copy a template from the plugin's templates directory. Edit as needed.

Then, in the widget settings under the Display tab, choose Custom from the Template drop down. In the Custom Template Name field that appears and enter the file name of your template (excluding .php). For example, if your template is named custom.php then enter custom in the Custom Template Name field.

Images sizes

As of version 2.0.0, the plugin no longer supports setting custom image sizes from the widget options panel.

To change image sizes you can either edit the built-in sizes (thumbnail, medium, and large) or define a custom image size in your theme functions.php.

Edit built-in image sizes: Go to Settings > Media and change the image sizes as desired. Once image sizes are changed you will need to regenerate thumbnails to update any existing images. This can be done with AJAX Thumbnail Rebuild or Regenerate Thumbnails plugins. Note that this will affect image sizes for the entire site.

Define a custom image size: Edit your functions.php file and add a new image size with the add_image_size function. See the WordPress codex for documentation. Once the function is added, your custom size will be available to select from the widget options. Like editing a built-in size, you will need to regenerate thumbnails for existing images.

Example:

Thumbnail images are not displaying
