Hi! I would like to have more control over the Recent Posts, for example the amount of posts shown. Now it is set to three, not changable. I think three is much too less.
thanks for bringing up and discussing the topic. Instead of the recent post you can use custom feed widget, which allows to indicated the number of posts shown and also show the most recent posts. You can choose to display certain number of all posts or indicate the specific category.
As for the slideshow layout - it is registered in the features Wishlist.
Hi. I recently switched to the New Blog and miss the option, available on the old blog, to show just the titles of the posts on the recent posts/custom feed widget, and to make the titles small. Before, I had a very narrow list of new titles on my home page that did not take up much room and I liked that. Now I had to rearrange my entire home page to make the recent post feed fit. I have experimented with various formats with the custom feed widget, but they all likewise take up too much space. Thank you!
Right, but the Recent Posts widget is currently fixed and permanent in single post page in the worst possible location: end of post and before start of comments thread. When will this be resolved?
Hi Simona, I keep reading that this feature to toggle off or remove the recent post element on the post page is coming soon. I've seen posts showing that's it's over 8 months now! Like the post above states....it's in the worst possible location and it keeps my readers from commenting as they can't find the comment element. Also, now I find that facebook is grabbing an image from recent posts and not the cover image that goes with that post. It's annoying and costing people business. When can we expect a solution? Thank you.
Hi Paul, thank you for your opinion. This is a complicated feature which needed time and effort to develop, but is finally on the way - we'll ship it to all users very soon. Please stay tuned for the product update in the 'Updates' category.
... plus a moveable recent post slideshow box, example from old blog (laptop/desktop only)...

As far as I know, that is available. I use it....
However not sliding by itself...
Not the same functionality. Old blog works really well. Small foot print with dynamic content. Shocked its it's not supported new blog!

THIS!!! I just want a LIST of the post titles to appear in my sidebar.

Hi Eric, in the very near future you'll be able to toggle off the recent post at the bottom and add it to the side-bar.
The sharing on FB bug has been fixed.
Cheers,
Simona
That's great news! Can it be formatted into a slideshow as per old blog?
Hi Eric, we are considering different solutions, but I'm adding your suggestion in the features Wishlist!
I miss all the above, especially the slider which is very useful in many cases.
I would like to have more options to control the size of the image, and the size of the text in the custom feeds and recent posts. Thanks!
Hi
thank you for sharing your needs, they are added to the features Wishlist too.
