Description
Phototools replaces the default activity widget on the dashboard by three separate widgets with thumbnails.
It’s mend to use with the other « phototools » plugins like geo2wp, exifwidget etc.
The « published recent » and « publishing soon » also have links too view the post and to the edit screen.
The « Recent comments » shows the thumbnail of the parent post.
the number of items in the list is settable between 1 and 30.
Besides this it implements a few extra’s:
- turn on/off support for shortcodes in widgets, supporting the shortcodes in the other phototools plugins
- turn on/off a general taxonomy « photogroup » to group photo’s in any groups you like
- Fuzzy dates on/off. Makes the postdates in the activity widgets more « humanlike ».
- Rich photo info https://www.schemaapp.com/tools/jsonld-schema-generator/Photograph/)
- /latests option to redirect to the latest posts on your blog. For example: Example: https://gerhardhoogterp.nl/latest will show your the latest photo I posted.
