How can i set the post id as current page id, but not for parent?
becuase, if current page is a subpage, the parent page can not be setted height line
Wanted to use this plug but when I go to the settings page I see none of the categories I have created to add to the pages. Is there a bug with this?
Thank You

Hi Rich,
Great plug in but I can’t seem to select some of the categories I have to post to pages.
I’ve already added a number of post categories but not all of them are showing up in the Settings of your plugin.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Ken.
Oh don’t worry. I figured out you need to post something under that category before it shows up in the ‘Settings’ page.
Cheers! Awesome plugin again.

I’m using your plugin on a site I am building and noticed a strange behaviour when I set it to show pages as a home page.
I have another plugin that shows a particular (different) category in a widget on the sidebar, but the original text of the page is appearing in the main page before my posts and in the widget before my posts.
Is this a known issue, and is there any easy way to resolve it?
I have installed your patch on wordpress 3.0, but when I updated to 3.1 your plugin did not seem to work. Is there a work-around? Or do I simply need patience for your update? Thank you,
Randall
Thank you so much for this plug-in!! Now my website actually does what I want it to do. You’re my hero!
Hai,
Your plugin is great, I only have one problem with it. It sets my post in the right order, but starts alover with sidebar2 and the second post jumps to the left. In the code it’s not in the wrap, but outside. How can I change this?
Thanks already
Hi
i download your plugin but when configure the page, i´m go to page, it´s show in blank, can fix this?
Hi Rich,
Plug-in does exactly what I wanted with one exception that I’m hoping you can clue me in on. When viewing a page of posts, all of the HTML formatting within the post is removed. If you view the post itself by clicking on it, the formatting is perfect. Any thoughts/fixes?

AWESOME plugin man.. exactly what I was looking for, pitty it didn`t worked for me
it is showing all post in both pages 
.. maby it isn`t compatible with the new version of wordpress ?
Best regards, hope you fix the bug soon.
Will you be updating this plugin for WP 3.1.1?
Thanks,
Hi everyone. Just catching up with all of these comments…
I’m testing this on WP 3.1.1 and it all looks fine.. anyone got any instances of it not working in the wild?
Hey There,
Love the idea of your plug-in, it’s exactly what I wanted to accomplish. My issue seems that it is not compatible with the Genesis Framework. It breaks down on my pages where i use Genesis Featured post widgets in the sidebar etc… Any other issues from other users? Anything in the works on an updated version? I appreciate any support
Hi! I’m having a problem with the plugin – on the pages I’ve applied it to, the page title no longer displays … and if there is pre-existing content in the page, it displays before the posts, but completely stripped of formatting.
The front page at http://www.huzzahtestsite1.com/ is a good example.
Thanks, Trini
Working for me, but when I use the option to “Show original page text before posts” it breaks down any formatting (how i intended it to look when publishing). Can you tell me how I could maintain the page formatting, so that I can keep a consistant appearance on the site
Thanks, this plugin is very cool.

Fatal error: Call to a member function have_posts() on a non-object in /home/mypallam/public_html/wp-includes/query.php on line 734
im using WordPress 3.2.1.
This was working fine for me. It suddenly stopped showing all my pages to choose from in the settings. I had a contest category that I was posting to one particular page. Now I can’t get that page to show up in list.
My situation is this: I wish to build some database type sites using WP and need to figure out how to make WordPress act more like a static site and show a logical index of all post. I wish to build sites with thousands of pages. You know that WordPress does not handle this well. It may handle it if some one comes to your site’s home page they will not be able to navigate to any of your pages they want due to pagination etc.
Who is going to click through 100 paginated post listings in order to find every post. Google will but regular people will not bother thus WordPress kind of sucks for this use if you want people to be able to actually navigate your site instead of just coming in via Google.
This is where your plugin comes in. It seems to work so far but I have only done light testing – not 1000 page sites yet. This is what I need your plugin to do – have an option to only show the post heading without any post text. This would be like a site map or site index – exactly what I need.
This is because I plan on each index page having many hundreds of post listed on it. So how about this option for your next version of this plugin? The option to only show the post header and no post text. Thanks.
PS, if there is another way to accomplish this without modding your plugin I would appreciate you letting me know. I also have some other plugins I need, if you write plugins for people let me know,
