Frequently Asked Questions

How do you use a custom template?

Simply extend the plugin using the spw_template filter.

<?php
    add_filter( 'spw_template', 'customize_spw_template_filter' );
    function customize_spw_template_filter( $template ){
        $template_dir = get_template_directory();
        return $template_dir . '/views/custom-spw.php';
    }
?>

How do I set the plugin to use post types besides/in addition to post?

Simply extend the plugin using the spw_select_posts_widget filter.

<?php
    add_filter( 'spw_select_posts_widget-15_template', 'customize_spw_post_types' );
    function customize_spw_post_types($post_types){
        $post_types = array( 'post', 'page' 'custom_post_type' );
        return $post_types;
    }
