You need to set the widget’s options, look in Design > Widgets. Good luck.

Hi Pete,
I am wondering as I want to present the posts from the current week last year if I need to include syntax in my template tag?

Thanks!
Sue

It should work okay on the Design Widgets menu – it does for me with no problems.

However, you could also include it in your sidebar template code – it’ll need some code something like:
'Main Sidebar', 'before_widget' => '

', 'before_title' => '', 'after_title' => '
', 'after_widget' => '

')); ?>

Where the values above are used to mark-up before and after the widget and it’s title. Good luck!

Yup, the old way works. But when I’m in the Design -> Widgets manager, and then I attempt to add the widget to my sidebar (like I did before), then click on “Save Changes”, I get a blank screen. I’m wondering since this is the only widget I can’t add to my sidebar, if I should just hard code it into the sidebar template file itself. Is this possible?

Hmm, I haven’t used WordPress’ new “one click” plug-in upgrade yet so maybe that’s the problem. I know it works the old way – download, copy to your plug-ins directory, etc.

I really enjoy your widget. Having posts from the past really helps not only my visitors but also me to look back at what was going on last year. Unfortunately, I’ve been having trouble updating the widget through the Widget panel on WP 2.5; after I click on Save, the screen refreshes to a blank page and all changes are lost. When I updated the widget to your newest version, I can no longer add it to my sidebar. Is there something that I can do to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Hi Sue, you could try in your php code. It will work, just hope it’s enough for your needs…

Hi,
I would like to use your plugin but need to use it with php code, not a widget. Is that possible?
Thanks!

Hi Dan, thanks for the compliment!
I have built the Sterling Adventures theme specially for this site. If you are interested in using it there will need to be some customisation done for you. Sorry. Let me know (via the Feedback link below) if you want to take that further…

I like your blog theme. I want to use it on my blog.
Can you please tell me from where I can download these theme?

Many thanks

Nope mate. I’m using regular WP. Version 2.3.3 – the latest version.

Aff, are you using WordPress MU? I don’t think this plugin will work with the multi-user version of WordPress, although I haven’t tested it.

I’ve got the same problem as Daniel. It’s a great plugin but it’s not working quite right for me. When I try and change it from past month to past day in the admin area, I get the following message:

“Fatal error: Call to undefined function: update_saved_widget_options() in ………….. /wp-content/plugins/last_year_widget.php on line 62″

I’m using 2.3.3.

Hi Daniel, are you sure you are saving the settings? Use “Save Changes” button on the Presentation > Widgets administration page.

The plug in appears to pull everything from the past month no matter if i choose day, month or year…. any ideas?
