@Bill – The shortcode parameters you are using appear fine but there is no need for commas between the parameters. Give it a try without them.

I am having difficulty getting the shortcode to work. I am using

[bnsft tag_choice="2012 SSA Convention", show_count=10, title="Convention Reports by Tag"]

But this is showing posts that do not have this tag. Also, thumbnails are not showing. If I use the shortcode for bnsfc then it works fine…but I want to key off of tags.

Regards,
Bill

@max – There is a “fixed” version now on GitHub: https://github.com/Cais/bns-featured-tag (version 1.9.1-alpha)

The changes are in the `BNSFT_Scripts_and_Styles` function which can be edited into your active version … the update to the WordPress version may still be a day or two away as I look for any other items to address.

thanks for this cool plugin. one tiny little issue … if you don’t have a custom style sheet the plugin will create a 404 not found error link.
thanks again … excellent plugin.

Thank you for the great plugin. It really does it’s job very well. I have one feature request for an upcoming version perhaps: it would be nice when the plugin (widget) could sort the posts in another order than the default.

On my site I’m reordering the posts using a hack in the code on line 181 (version 1.9):
query_posts( “tag=$tag_choice&posts_per_page=$show_count&orderby=date&order=ASC” );

The &orderby=date&order=ASC is added. This extra sorting function could also be a checkbox in the widget i presume.

@Uche – I believe I have a working solution to the idea you have suggested, but it needs more testing before I release it to the repository. If you are interested in a beta version drop me a note and I will forward the files to you … or any other readers that may be interested.

@Uche – Thanks for the compliment. Currently the plugin displays an “excerpt” that follows the standard output of `the_excerpt()` function. There may be a simple modification to consider for it, I will have to add it to the plugin’s REVIEW list of items.

* Sorry that should have said “or after the excerpt” not element
