@Chao – I just committed version 1.9.2 to the WordPress Extend Plugins repository, this should fix the immediate issue of the post thumbnails not showing. There will be more updates to follow, but that will be in version 2.0.

Thanks, it’s a great series of plugin. However the thumbnail seems not working. However featured category plugin works, the same location and same posts. I guess it must be something wrong with featured tag plugin. The theme used is ‘responsive’, the free one.

@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.
