Recent Posts Widget Not Clickable

[ross]

Hello,

I installed Featured Image Link Override and have it set to:

a) Featured images link to their posts.
b) No, do not apply the above override to single posts.

When I view the blog (post list) the thumbnails in the themeblvd recent posts widget are clickable (which is what I expected) but when I link into a post, they are no longer clickable, see below

Is this fixable?

Unfortunately this isn’t fixable at the moment. In the updated version of the framework (Theme Blvd Framework 2.5), which will eventually work its way into Alyeska (will be Alyeska v4), I’ve come up with a whole system of differentiating between the main loop and secondary loops, to avoid little hiccups like this.

But right now the way it works is kind of elementary. When it’s trying to figure out whether to wrap the featured image in a link its just checking is_single(), which is always going to return true because of the primary loop (i.e. you’re viewing a single post).

In all honesty, the Featured Image Link Override Plugin is a big hack to provide a feature that a few people were requesting. So, you will find some little hiccups with it, but overall it makes life a little easier if you’re wanting that ability to set the global option.

Ok, thanks!
