FAQ

No image/thumbnail options?

Your theme needs to support Post Thumbnail, please go to https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails to read more info and how to activate it in your theme.

Thumbnail Size

By default it uses arpw-thumbnail which have 50×50 size. If you want to use custom image size, you can install https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-image-sizes/ then create new image size, it will appear in the Thumbnail Size selectbox in the widget option.

Thumbnail Size Not Working Properly

I have mentioned it in the plugin description. If you use images that were uploaded to the media library before you installed this plugin and/or you have your own custom image sizes, please install Regenerate Thumbnails plugin to fix the image size.

How to add custom style?

The plugin comes with a very basic style, if you want to add custom style please do wp_dequeue_style to remove the default stylesheet. Place the code below in your theme functions.php.

function prefix_remove_arpw_style() {
    wp_dequeue_style( 'arpw-style' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'prefix_remove_arpw_style', 10 );

Then you can add your custom style using Custom CSS plugin or in your theme style.css. Here’s the plugin selector

/* ul */
.arpw-ul {}

/* li */
.arpw-li {}

/* title */
.arpw-title {}

/* thumbnail */
.arpw-thumbnail {}

/* date */
.arpw-time {}

/* excerpt */
.arpw-summary {}

this is a great useful plugin but need to be updated!

This plug-in works so well it hasn’t needed any updates for 2 years. Nothing out there matches it. However, because it hasn’t been updated in so long my security software is now flagging it as «abandoned.» Please «update» the plug-in! (Maybe to include not stripping formatting from the excerpt?)

This plugin is really excellent. It works for me with Wordpress 5.7. I would be nice that the Developer makes a test and declare the plugin compabible (or not) for the last version of wordpress.

In the beginning this plugin was great, but several months ago, the developer has abandoned it. No answers in the support forum, and not updates. Best regards.
