Unread posts is a plugin for regular users and developers alike. For regular users it allows for the creation of widgets that display posts the user has not yet read. It will work for logged in and logged out users as well. You can also add unread posts just below your single post content.
For logged out users the plugin uses cookies so please make sure your users consent to cookies by using a plugin like Cookie Law Info.
The plugin contains a bunch of developer friendly features so you can easily leverage the core functionality, the management of read/unread posts. The class may be used alone, you can use some built in functions and I've added a bunch of filters for you to modify everything from what shows up in lists to how the lists are actually displayed.
For more information on developer features take a look at the Other Notes section.
Usage
The plugin offers a widget and an optional section below posts. The widget can be added in Appearance->Widgets and has a number of options. Hopefully these are all self explanatory, let me know if you have any questions.
There is also a settings section under Settings->Unread Posts. This page contains settings for the unread posts section to be placed under posts. You can enable this section by ticking the "Show Below Post Content?" box. The options are much the same as the widgets but you have a bit more control over when and what is shown.
First of all, use "Show Below Post Types" setting to set where this section shows up at all. The unread posts section will only show up under posts with the set post type(s).
The "Post Types To List" section allows you to control which post types are shown in the list. If "Same as the current post" is selected the post types listed will match the post type shown. Ie: On pages only pages will be shown, on posts only posts will be shown.
If you select "Select from a list" you will get a dropdown which allows you to specify the post types you would like shown in the list.
