Briar Rose - Home Widgets

The instructions below will help you configure the widgets on the home page.

Click here for instructions for the slider - how to display featured posts, some troubleshooting advice and how to avoid blurry images.


Popular Posts

The popular posts widget ("Popular Posts") is already configured to display the most popular posts (posts with the most views) from the last 30 days. If you want to change that to 7 days, all time or last year, go to Layout > scroll down to "Home Before Content" > open the "Popular Posts" widget.

The posts are displayed in 1 column of 3, so if you want to display more than 3, select 6 or 9.


Browse by Category

To add your label names and links, go to Layout > scroll down to "Home Before Content" > open the "Browse by Category" widget > check "Selected Labels" > uncheck the labels you don't want to display in the widget.

Keep in mind that labels will only appear in the widget if they have been used in at least one published post.

If you want to use links and not labels:

If you don't want to use labels (or you want to add a second section with the same style but different links), you can use the HTML below. Add it to a HTML/JavaScript widget in one of the widget areas in Layout.

Replace LINK with the your links and replace Title with the page names.

<div id="Label40"><div class="widget-content">

<h3 class="title">Browse by Categories</h3>

<ul>
<li><a href="LINK">Title</a></li>
<li><a href="LINK">Title</a></li>
<li><a href="LINK">Title</a></li>
<li><a href="LINK">Title</a></li>
<li><a href="LINK">Title</a></li>
<li><a href="LINK">Title</a></li>
</ul>

</div></div>

You can add more than 6 links (but I don't recommend adding too many). Add this:

<li><a href="LINK">Title</a></li>

Before </ul>.
