 * You can insert more than one ‘rotating post’ but they will all be identical. 
   Also there is no random selection. But if there is interest in these two features
   I could add them.

 * If you are using the Default theme with wordpress 2.7 and want to look like the
   demo site ([http://demo.inderhees.net](http://demo.inderhees.net)) then this 
   is what i did. I removed all of the code from
    `<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>`
   to `<?php endif; ?>` So my entire index.php looks like
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * @package WordPress
        * @subpackage Default_Theme
        */
   
       get_header(); ?>
   
       	<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
       <?php rotating_posts(); ?>
   
       	</div>
   
       <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   
       <?php get_footer(); ?>
       ```

 * TFA1979,
    Did you get this working? Can you send me a link of the broken page?
 * Akatoki,
    Does the text extend beyond the size of the post division? Try setting
   the `<!--more-->` tag really far up in your post. The post division is a fixed
   height (changeable in CSS) and any text beyond that is cut off from the users
   view.

 * Hi,
 * I had two questions. 1) I installed the plugin successfully, but I am unable 
   to get the Read More to work. 2) is there a way for the excerpt to display with
   the thumbnail?
 * Any help with this would be great.
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the great plugin.
 * If you have time, could you please point me in the right direction to edit rotating-
   posts.js so that the posts have a fade transition using scriptaculous?

 * This plugin is awesome so far!
    Ok, call me crazy, but I’m looking to merge it
   somehow with Event Calendar 3 ([http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/event-calendar/other_notes/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/event-calendar/other_notes/))
   so that I can scroll posts during a SPECIFIC TIME until “expired” as set in Event
   Calendar 3. So for example, if today is Monday, 12-7-09, and I have 11 future
   events, say on Dec. 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, and 25th; it scrolls
   only those posts 5 days in the future (or some other trivial time stop) – so 
   there would be 5 posts rotating here since five days from today would the 12th,
   and there just happens to be 5 posts (Dec. 8,9,10,11,12) up until the 12th. Is
   there already a plugin/widget that does this? And if not, would this be a good
   merging? Any info or pointers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance…
   😉

 * RE:wwe
    There is no planed feature for this. It is possible to do, if you know
   PHP, SQL, and WP programing, by adding to the query to WP_Query call in rotating_posts.
   php for the date of those posts.

 * Hi, is it possible not to show the post numbers underneath? I’m using it at [http://www.thinkingwomanshammer.com/choiceforchildcare](http://www.thinkingwomanshammer.com/choiceforchildcare)
   and I would like to have just the images displayed, not the number of posts underneath.
   Any advice?
    Thanks!

 * Apologies in advance if this question has been answered but is it currently possible
   to have two instances of rotating posts on a single page displaying posts from
   two different categories? So:
 * Rotating Post 1 = News Category
 * Rotating Post 2 = Featured Category
 * Rotating Post 3 = Alternate Category
 * Any responses appreciated.

 * hello!
    Is it possible to make some changes to “onClick” trigger? It is not valid
   for XHTML, the other thing is navigation buttons and thumbnails are lack of alt
   tag.
 * The “alt” tag could be taken from post title and this is not so huge problem,
   but “onClick”…. it should be possible to place all navigation in external script..
   this will help with all validation problems (images alts and “onClick”)
