To be honest i haven't used it much so all the minor difficulties that others report are due to that. Nice to hear it helped you! I am happy it is working good for you Chris.

Just what I needed to put up a warning message about a cancelled meeting (due to the heavy snow). I needed to get the message out there and this plugin does exactly what it says on the tin. As a side note for a few of those that had problems, if they also use any form of WP-Cache, that might interfere with it. I had to disable WP Super Cache to have it work properly (i.e. so it appears first time because no page has actually been published, and also because when the time expires, the cached version will still contain the "NewsFlash"). I did have an issue with displaying only on the Home Page. Because I use WP to set my root (http://www.singbramley.co.uk/) as my Home page, it doesn't display the NewsFlash. As well as checking for the current page == "home" you might have to check that the root is set to "home" as well. But it did everything I needed it to do and it did it well. Much obliged to you :) Chris Cheers for the plugin. Just what I needed to put up a warning message about a cancelled meeting (due to the heavy snow).

The box turns yellow when I save it but nothing displays on my homepage. I also tried a different template but still nothing. Any ideas? Thank you!

I don't know if there are going to be new features before the competition (by the end of July that is). On the other hand there might be, who knows ;) I am thinking more of having more than one newsflash and rotating using jQuery effects. Also maybe remove the need for a date. As it turns out you guys don't seem to need it ;) One more thing i've been thinking is add a special selection on pages or maybe posts on where the newsflashes should appear. I guess we will see what is going to be on 1.1 :) @Raju: I am still thinking about it. I don’t know if there are going to be new features before the competition (by the end of July that is).

Anyway, maybe I should live without it for now. Meantime, I have to decide whether I want the yellow background or another color, such as light gray. Suggestions? Peace, Gene No change.
