Sidepress: Wordpress plugin

Sidepress allows you to add news to a website page using Wordpress as your news manager. Without changing anything to the content already on the site, you can install WordPress in a subdirectory and show the title and summary of the latest posts in a frame on the home page.

The plugin allows you to define the contents of this newslist from the Wordpress admin panel.

How to install the plugin

The archive contains a disassembly with a style sheet and a sidepress subdirectory.

According to the usual procedure for installing plugins from Wordpress:

Copy sidepress directory from archive to wp-content/plugins
Go to the plugins section of the WordPress admin panel.
Sidepress appears in the list. Enable plugin.

The sidepress link now appears in the options bar.

Plugin Options

Number of entries: the number of tickets displayed in the frame is 10 by default.

Add Dates Show last modified date or not.

Add description: show ticket summary or not.

Maximum description size - When a summary is displayed, the maximum number of characters.

How to use the demo

The sidepress-demo.php demo page can be placed anywhere on your site along with the sidepress.css style file.

You need to configure the path according to your domain name, blog directory.

<?php
  $SIDEPRESS_PATH = "wp-content/plugins/sidepress";
   include("$SIDEPRESS_PATH/sidepress.php");
?>

The path assigned to the $ SIDEPRESS _ PATH variable can be a URL or a relative path. Depends on which subdirectory Wordpress is installed in your site.

Similarly, to use Sidepress on your own page, place the above code with the plugin path.

Path issues

Sometimes users encounter problems accessing the sidepress.php script on the demo page.
Use relative path.

If this does not work, then uninstall the plugin and place these files in the same directory:

sidepress-demo.php
sidepress.css
sidepress.php
sidepress.ini
path.php

On the demo page, you need to assign a simple point to the path variable:

$SIDEPRESS_PATH = ".";

In this case, you can no longer configure the program from Wordpress, you will have to do this by editing the sidepress.ini file directly with a text editor.
