<p>The Advanced Featured Post Widget does, what the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-feature-widget" rel="ugc">Featured Post Widget</a> is doing also; it’s a customizable multi-widget, that displays a single post in the widget area. You can decide, whether or not the post thumbnail is displayed, whether the post title is above or beneath the thumbnail and a couple of more things. And of course, you can style the widget individually.</p>
<p>So far that is the same as my Featured Post Widget does also. Not every theme has the possibility to hide certain sidebars on different pages. That’s where the advanced of our plugin comes in. In the AFPW you can determine, where exactly the widget is showing and in the settings you can customize the links of your widget(s).</p>


Advanced Featured Post Widget

With the Advanced Featured Post Widget you can put a certain post (or post type) in the focus and style it differently.

<p>You need to display your articles in magazine or newspaper style. Use this plugin. You don’t have<br />
to change your theme files or add styles – just use “table” splitter.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>fully automatic splitter;</li>
<li>create columns in table or div’s;</li>
<li>tag-aware;</li>
<li>splits long paragraphs and unordered lists;</li>
<li>keeps text with headers;</li>
</ul>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<p>The plugin requires DOM API (http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.dom.php) and Tidy (http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.tidy.php)</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<p>Wrap block of text with <code>[auto_columns]...[/auto_columns]</code> shortcode. It will produce markup like</p>
<pre><code><div class="auto-columns-container columns-2">
<div class="auto-columns-column column-1 first-column">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</div>
<div class="auto-columns-column column-2 last-column">Nam tincidunt gravida dui, at bibendum nisl lacinia nec.</div>
<div class="auto-columns-clear"></div>
</div>
</code></pre>
<p>In your theme use <code>do_shortcode</code> function:</p>
<pre><code><?php echo do_shortcode('[auto_columns]' . $content . '[/auto_columns]'); ?>
</code></pre>
<p>You will have to define width for <code>.auto-columns-column</code> class in your theme, of course.</p>


WP Auto Columns

Wrap block of text with shortcode. It will be split into columns. Automagically.
