			<description><p>Hi there,</p>
<p>Open index.php and change the following on line 80 from this...</p>
<pre><code>&#60;a class=&#34;featuredImage&#34; href=&#34;&#60;?php the_permalink() ?&#62;&#34;&#62;</code></pre>
<p>...to this...</p>
<pre><code>&#60;a class=&#34;featuredImage&#34; href=&#34;&#60;?php echo get_permalink($o-&#62;post_id) ?&#62;&#34;&#62;</code></pre>
<p>Let me know if that helps.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Chris

			<description><p>Hi Chris</p>
<p>Sorry to give this to you so delayed.  I just noticed that when you select the photograph of the popular posts it defaults to the latest post.  If you could give the fix for this as well.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.<br />
Janet

			<description><p>You bet! </p>
<p>I'll be submitting these changes in an update (v1.2.2). Since you already made the changes, you can just change the version number at the top of your style.css file to 1.2.2.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Chris

			<description><p>Hi there,</p>
<p>Regarding the excerpt, since we're pulling data from a plugin, we have to manually grab the excerpt, which appears to not pull content if empty. For now, an excerpt is required, but I recommend using the excerpt field anyway. It's better to know exactly what is being displayed.</p>
<p>Regarding the recipe time and serving size, try this... open index.php and change the following on line 70 from this...</p>
<pre><code>$recipeTime = get_post_meta( $post-&#62;ID, &#039;themolitor_recipe-time&#039;, TRUE );</code></pre>
<p>...to this...</p>
<pre><code>$recipeTime = get_post_meta( $o-&#62;post_id, &#039;themolitor_recipe-time&#039;, TRUE );</code></pre>
<p>...and then change the following on line 72 from this...</p>
<pre><code>$servingSize = get_post_meta( $post-&#62;ID, &#039;themolitor_serving-size&#039;, TRUE );</code></pre>
<p>...to this...</p>
<pre><code>$servingSize = get_post_meta( $o-&#62;post_id, &#039;themolitor_serving-size&#039;, TRUE );</code></pre>
<p>Let me know if that helps.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Chris

			<description><p>Hi Chris</p>
<p>Also just noticed another issue, I was too keen to respond with happiness before...</p>
<p>The Recipe Time and Serving Size field are not updating as well - keeping the latest post info in these fields.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance<br />
Janet

			<description><p>Hi Chris</p>
<p>Thanks again for your quick response.  That has fixed it - Great!</p>
<p>Only trouble though, where I have a post that I haven't used the excerpt field it doesn't seem to pick up any text from the beginning of the post.  Is this normal?  If so would I need to ensure the excerpt field is always populated or is there another way around it?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance<br />
Janet

			<description><p>Hi there,</p>
<p>I see what you mean. Looks like WordPress is "turning off" some functions. Try this...</p>
<p>Open index.php and change the following on line 101 from this...</p>
<pre><code>&#60;p&#62;&#60;?php echo get_the_excerpt($o-&#62;post_id); ?&#62;&#60;/p&#62;</code></pre>
<p>... to this...</p>
<pre><code>&#60;p&#62;&#60;?php
	$page_data = get_page( $o-&#62;post_id );
	$excerpt = strip_tags($page_data-&#62;post_excerpt);
	echo $excerpt;?&#62;
&#60;/p&#62;</code></pre>
<p>Let me know if that helps.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Chris

			<description><p>Hi Chris<br />
On my homepage when the "popular" post is selected, the posts display with the title of different posts however show the text excerpts of the "latest" post.  Weird?  Could you please advise how to fix this.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.<br />
