Widget
Can i limit number of micro news to display on output area?
Yes you can Luke! You can find this in settings of Micro news. Also you can pass no. of values in function as a parameter. One more way is to use widget and change value their.
Does this plugin slow down my website?
Absolutely not, Its light like a feather.
Where does all my news go?
All of your data is stored in a seperate table inside wordpress database, you can download backup in (.sql) extension anytime you want. This feature is available in Settings page.
How can i show news in a page or post?
Use shortcode [kushmicronews news="5" header="true" category="default" simple="false"] inside wordpress editor where you want news to display itself. You can use this in any of your page or post but keep in mind that page should have enough free space for all the content.
* ‘news’ attribute will decide how many news should be displayed. Default: 5
* ‘header’ attribute will decide whether “Micro News” header is visible. Valid options: “true” or “false”. Default: “true”
* ‘simple’ attribute will toggle plugin visual behaviour. To show load more button and other effects. Valid options: “true” or “false”. Default: “false”
* ‘category’ attribute will show that perticular group of news. Valid options: “default”,”cata”,”catb”,”catc”,”catd”. Default: “default”
Can i create category to seperate news with each other?
Yes you can, use available 5 categories to choose from. If you don’t, it is set to “default” automatically. This is helpful if you want to show different news in different places on same site.
Will it look like the rest of my site?
Many of your website styles will automatically blend in nicely. I am trying to make it look as cool as possible. However, you can make changes to styles by overiding your own CSS in your stylesheet.
Do i have to do anything else?
No. Just sit back and start adding micro news.
