Hi Hanspeter,

Unfortunately, you cannot specify your own sizes in the plugin. The best course of action would be to use the "Full" option and then use CSS to style the image to the size you want it.

The link you provided doesn't seem to work, otherwise I could give you more direction. Also, if you can, please add any further questions as support tickets on the individual plugins. Other people might have similar questions and it is easier for me to answer everything in one place.

Thanks!

Just a followup hampi52, I just pushed v1.0.3 (https://wordpress.org/plugins/blox-lite/). It will work no problem with PHP 5.2. Thanks for pointing this out!

Hello again hampi52. This is an issue with versions of PHP below 5.3. PHP less than 5.4 is technically unsupported: http://php.net/eol.php. But no worries, I have rewritten this function to work with PHP 5.2. I will push a new version later today. I apologize for the trouble, and thanks for "trying" out the plugin!

P.S. - I would recommend upgrading to PHP 5.4 or greater though 😉 Any decent hosting provider should not be running 5.2, and if you were testing this is a local environment, you can download new versions of PHP here: http://php.net/downloads.php.

Best,
Nick

Hi hampi52, can you tell me what version of PHP you are running? I am guessing something less than 5.3. Can you confirm?

Thanks,
Nick

Great! I am glad it all worked out. Let me know if I can help in any other way.

So it is a bit hard for me to tell you exactly the problem from the screenshot, but here are my thoughts:

The "Read More" link is predominantly controlled by the more-link CSS class. Other than that, it is just a link <a>…</a>. So my thought is that display on the more-link class is set to something like display:block. Try changing this to display:inline. Hopefully this should bump it up. Also you will want to make sure there are no margin or padding settings on the more-link class.

As for the ragged text, this one it a bit more interesting. Are your images square or round? If they are round, that could explain the issue. If not, this is not something I have seen before, but a nice work around might be to set padding-left: __px on the entry-content class. This is what controls the styling of the text. You will have to play with this, but adding a certain amount of padding should align the text.

I hope this helps,

Nick

Hi wizz6113,

Both of these issues should be able to be fixed with CSS. Can you provide me with a link to the site you are working on and I will take a look? The plugin itself doesn't really add any of its own CSS, other than what comes standard with the Genesis Featured Page core widget.

Thanks,
Nick

I do have it on GitHub, but I only started using GitHub recently so I have a lot to learn. But you can check it out here: https://github.com/ndiego/genesis-featured-page-advanced. Again, I really appreciate all of your feedback.

Hi Gary,

Thank you very much for reviewing my code. I am self taught so your comments are extremely helpful. I already have some other additions in the works so I will add these edits to my to-do list and hopefully push out a updated version later this weekend.

Thanks again,
Nick

Hi jodieb, I understand that this is a bit late in the game but I just came across your post. I released a plugin today Genesis Featured Page Advanced that is similar to the Genesis Features Page Extended plugin, by mine is a bit cleaner and allows you to add a custom image and custom content. That way you can directly specify what text you want in each widget. This plugin also displays the button like you are looking for. More information please go to http://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-featured-page-advanced/. I hope this helps…

Hello mbeck, this is a bit of a shameless plug, but I just launched a plugin that I believe does what you are looking for. I have used the default Genesis - Featured Page widget quite a bit myself, but sometimes it is nice to specify your own custom image and custom content. More information on my plugin, Genesis Featured Page Advanced is available here http://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-featured-page-advanced/. I hope this helps...
