Is there a way to limit the amount of content that displays in the Featured Posts section?  As you can see on my page https://www.know-your-role.com/ only 2 posts end up showing.

Ideally, I would like to only show the Feature Posts’ names, date, and maybe source, and have the brief preview be a mouse-over tooltip.  

Also, is there anyway to change the color of the text to indicate it is clickable (as when you click it, it opens the post)?

 

Here is the CSS code we are using to put the Featured Posts into the site.  

<div id=”forum-posts”>[wp_rss_multi_importer]</div>

Let’s take the questions one at a time!

Giving Steve the chance to contradict me later as far as the first question goes then I do not believe so. But it is possible that a flter could be employed although it might be a little tricky.

Steve… is that correct?

not sure what options you are using…  but you can have it display no content, the full content or an excerpt…

Its all done by the featured posts template function argument itemOrder…  see:  http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/plugins/our-plugins/available-plugins/plugin-featured-topics/

for no content, just make sure you are not including including the post content items P or E…

if you want the excerpt in the tooltip, just pass postTip=1 which is the default…
