Hi there. Thanks for these awesome plugins! Curious if I can have the Vertical Recent Posts Scroller show the associated featured image (thumbnail) as well? Or were I can configure it to show excerpts and such. Thanks!
Option available in setting page.
I may have missed this option somewhere to get the thumbnails.
Also having issues with it not showing if there is a slider on the site. The development site is at ubeloved.com/wellv any ideas?
For reference to add to my last comment
I’m using an organic theme that has suckerfish in the nav and jflow for the slider
I also can not see any option to include the thumbnails?
Hi Gopi.
I can’t see the posts scrolling after the Plugin installed. Perhaps somethings wrong in K2 theme?
thanks for your great works.
I think in your page some more java script plugin or slidshow is there, so it crash each other, if possible send me the link, we will check.
how to change the color of items in your plugin
Hi the scroll colors & css is depends on theme.
Great plugin… but I have a question: Is it possible for it scroll from top to down instead of bottom to up?
Thanks!
Hi there! Is is possible to ‘slow down’ the scroll rate?
At present the option not available, ill try to implement this in the next version.
I have your scroller implemented here on my homepage. It’s great and exactly what I want, however, I’m too am wanting this to slow down. Is this implemented yet? Is there a place to specify this in the .js or .php files?
Thanks!
Yeah … that would be VERY useful. Right now it scrolls past fast enough to distract from the page being viewed. If it could be slowed down to 5-10 seconds between changes my reader on a commercial site would see that other information is available, but not overlook the fact that I want them to call the company to schedule a service call.
The link I gave is temporary only … good for about a week while I develop the site.
Hi is this plugin supported? I’m having an issue with conflicts I need to get resolved or try and find a different plugin.
Hy! You have the only recent posts plugin, which really displays lastly edited posts. But its hard to customize it, because the Title links are using templates main links css settings, instead of css which is oriented for sidebar widgets.
I dont have enough kowledge to fix this…
But yet another question is, ho to add a little image(for example red dot) before title?
Here you can see what i mean: http://www.artcol.ee/moobel/ I stopped the scrolling also. Second widget from top is your recent posts plugin, which differs from other two linking widgets. May-be you can help me out somehow?
installed vertical-scroll-recent-post on a demo/trial site.
cool.
Wondering if there was a way to control the size of the widget, as well as speed, how many characters are displayed etc.
Thanks!
We have option in the setting page, the width of the widget is depend on your sidebar width.
Really disappointed you didnt answer my question or address the issue I was having with this plugin after it took you two weeks to respond. Clearly this plugin is not supported so I’ll have to find another one to use.
At present we don’t have option to display post thumbnail, i ll try this in the next version.
its very hard to include thumbnail in the scroll , bcos all image size should be in the same size then only it ll scroll smoothly.
Give the guy a break, he’s giving you free code and you just expect him to bow down and work for you for free whenever YOUR website is having problems.
Show some respect.
Really like the puggin but it disables all links on the site, all pages, all linked images, etc. I had to deactivate it. Please help.
REALLY looking for the reply to THIS one. This is a deal-killer for a commercial site! I don’t see how it could kill pre-existing links but if it’s possible, I really need to know.
i think some anchor tags not formed properly in the HTML page, so its affect all the anchor tags.
As the 2 posts above in my site, the plugin disrupts all the links…
i also had to disable it by the same reason
(i refered to what sgscalese said)
just a fantastic work…..continue working
god bless u
I want to scroll random posts instead of recent.
There is an option on the options page under
Enter Orderbys:
to use “rand”. Is it not working?
It would be nice to be able to exclude posts from recent post.
Other than that I like it.
Oh and be able to change the width and scroll delay.
Thanks
Oh, and the width is controlled by the sidebar whose width is controlled by the themes CSS file. We could also help with that, but it would be illogical to build something that changes the width of the side into a plugin as it would affect every other widget in the sidebar. You either want to do that with care, or not at all unless you do CSS regularly.
Same issue as sgscalese, Bill Canaday, 2010 and vladimir prieto, whenever the widget is put in place all of my internal links stop working. Would love to get this sorted as well as being able to change the speed of the scroll.
Hope to be able to reuse it soon.
Can it scroll horizonatal just as like under MTV navigator bar … showing the recent post in horizontal with thumbnails?
thx
I used your code in a template for the homepage but once it is activated my home page cannot be displayed as a static page but reverts everything underneath back to the blog page.

Finding One’s Way
Hi Gopi,
Cool plugin. It’s only missing one thing, in my opinion: being able to display a little excerpt of the post body, and ideally with an option in the control panel for how many words/characters to display.
If you have input on how to get this done I would love to know.
Thanks,
Bruno.
Bruno, did you have any success at displaying excerpts?
Can I install more than one instance? for example, one in left and one in right sidebar?
Please help.
tHanks.
Any luck with this Mahmood? I’m also trying to add multiple instances of it
Added not work well with the Arabic language
I have the last version, the plugin doesn’t take into account my selection of category ID.
I fill into the ‘Enter Categories’ field the category ID: recipe (category name= Recipes). But all my posts appear.
Enter category ID not name…
Simple but excellent!!
thanks for this plugin! very useful:-)
I was wandering, for some reason the scrolling effect on my site isn’t smooth like it is here on your site
http://tribla.com/healing
the scroller is on the right, under the calendar.
i tried to change the hight of the box, the scrolling speed and the font size but no luck.

another question, is it possible to add the expert or description part of the posts to show up too?
something like your ‘Continuous announcement scroller’ plugin, only with posts.
I saw the given link.. it seems like working fine… if any problem in the scroll u have to change the height of the scroll…
Hi,

in default title width is equal to your sidebar width.
When I activate this plugin it scrolls like it should, but no matter which page I go to, it pulls in the content from the posts rather than the actual page’s content. I would appreciate any help you could give.
Hello, is it possible to show random post instead of recent post ? Can you give me the new code please ?

Q4. Why only few characters display in scroll title?
In default it will show only 50 character. In the setting page we have option to update this number.

Why do I not see this option in the settings?
Is there a way to get this plugin to display Custom Post Type posts instead of regular posts?
I installed this plugin – but whenever this plugin is sets for the right sidebar – my pages disappear and it shows only my posts on main page. The function that suppose to pull the pages data is “have_posts” – and it seems to be empty. Does this plugin uses it? clear it in someway?
It doesn’t happen when it sets for the left sidebar.
What could be the problem?
I found a fix:
Modify vertical-scroll-recent-post.php:
replace query_posts with get_posts (line 41 in my version).
Good luck.
This fix worked for me also! Thanks Gil,
i was having problems when browsing the site, the plugin messed with the page contents replacing it with a list of 10 recent posts.

Hi,
It doesn’t work with CHROME
is there we can add he thumbnails on this plugin if yes how it is ????????
I have wpml translation running on my site and want to know if there’s a way I can have multiple instances of the widget in my sidebars. As it stands, the widget can only be used once at a time
If I can get this to work, I can use the widget logic plugin to specify which widget I want to appear for a specific language.
Please help!
Is there a way I can have multiple instances of the plugin?
Hi -
First of all, thank you for the (potentially) great plug in. I say ‘potentially’ because I also experience the problem of the posts replacing the main content on the page where the plugin is displayed in the sidebar.
The scrolling and all of the functionality works but unfortunately the posts replacing the main content is a huge problem.
I tried the ‘fix’ suggested by but that doe not fix it.
Do you (or anyone) have a solution to this problem by any chance?
Thanks!
lam the nao
Version 8.0
Reset Query issue has been fixed.
Upon update of the plugin to the latest version, the plugin has stopped scrolling. Any ideas on how to fix?
Awesome plugin!
Would love thumbnails of the first image from each post though, that’d really make it something special.
Please make it possible to also EXCLUDE categories (by using the minus-sign “-”?), so that posts with that category don’t appear on the website page. It’s too much hassle to name all but one category to show…
I need to exclude the category “Archive” !!
Great plugin!
Thank you!
Hello.
how can I add the post date to this scroller?
thank you
After activating this plugin it disappears from the available list of plugins at left side so that means it is not re-usable at any other place.
Please confirm and also pls let me know how can it be re-used at different places e.g. Page Sidebar and Blog Sidebar, both.
Thanks.

Hello there,
We have implemented your Vertical Scroller to our website: http://www.slarc.com.
However when you hover over it to read the title it keeps scrolling. Is there a way to make it pause when mouse is hovered over the scroller?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated or just automatically added in the next update.
Thanks for the great plugin!
Lorne
great plugin… like it
Is there anyway to add more than one of this plugin on the page – for example – i want a latest news scroll and a latest events scroll on the same page (not sidebar which works perfectly btw thnk u).
scroll post plugin is really very cool
>>Q4. Why only few characters display in scroll title?
>>>In default it will show only 50 character. In the setting page we have option to update this number.
I’m not able to see this option in the setting page. Why?
Where can I find the setting of question 4? I’m not to see this option!!
Do you want to have also thumbnaiil in scroller?
1. Go to scroll-post-excerpt.php
2. Find row with code: $get_permalink = get_permalink($spe_data->ID);
3. Add new row and write: $get_img = get_the_post_thumbnail($spe_data->ID);
4. In the row find code starting with “$spe_x = $spe_x”….
5. All this code replace with this:
$spe_x = $spe_x . “spe_array[$spe_count] = ‘$spe_post_title$get_img$spe_dp_clean…’; “;
$spe_x = $spe_x . "spe_array[$spe_count] = '$spe_post_title$get_img$spe_dp_clean...'; ";
Why I cant write the code?
So, just add before “$spe_dp_clean…” this: “$get_img”
Where can I find the setting of question 4? I’m not to see this option for characters title in vertical scroll!!
can we put a timestamp in vertical scroll recent post plugin & how can we control the speed of sliding post….
is there any update, how to add thumbnail on this plugin?
I have implemented your Vertical Scroller to our website.
Is there a way to make it pause when mouse is hovered over the scroller?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
