Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Blog Introduction displays an introduction (heading and/or contents of certain

page) before posts. Intro content comes from a designated page, please see below for examples.

An introduction can appear on your

  • home page (from page whose URL – aka permalink aka slug – is, by default, ‘blog-introduction’),
  • category archive pages (intro from page ‘yourcategoryurl-cat-intro’, e.g. category has ‘widgets’ slug, then intro comes from page that has slug ‘widgets-cat-intro’),
  • tag archive pages (intro from page ‘yourtagurl-tag-intro’, e.g. tag is ‘blue-widgets’, then use ‘blue-widgets-tag-intro’ as intro page slug), and
  • author archive pages (intro from page ‘yourauthorurl-author-intro’, e.g. author is ‘jsmith’, then use ‘jsmith-author-intro’ as intro page slug).

Hide these special pages by making them private.

Plugin options allow for you to:

  • Define who sees the introduction (everyone / logged in users only / visitors only).
  • Choose which parts (heading and/or content) you want to show.
  • Change the heading wrapper tag.
  • Define style (CSS) for various parts of intro.
  • Change where the home page’s intro is taken from, either by page id or its permalink.
  • Define home page’s the intro (instead of using a specific page).
  • Disable intro on home page and only use it on archive pages.

Default output (for home page):

-- content is printed here --> </div> </div>
