Frequently asked questions
Question: How do I install OsclassPoint Blog plugin widgets on the classifieds home page?
Answer: Install Blog plugin, then enable the grid widget and place it in a home widget area from plugin settings. You do not add PHP to Zara or Sigma main.php for the default home block. Open a home page after save. If the block is missing, the widget area or enable switch is off.
Question: Where are Osclass Blog plugin widget settings in oc-admin?
Answer: OsclassPoint Blog plugin widget settings live in the plugin configuration: enable, grid or list, list count, and category filter. Put the widget in a theme widget area. Grid and list are separate types. A sidebar uses list; the large home block uses grid.
Question: Can I limit how many posts the Osclass Blog plugin list widget shows?
Answer: Set the article count in Blog plugin list widget settings, not in theme PHP. The grid widget still shows up to 5 articles even if the list limit is higher. Category filter limits which posts appear. Save and refresh the page that holds that widget.
Question: Why is the Osclass Blog plugin widget empty on the home page?
Answer: An empty Blog widget usually means the widget is disabled, the widget area is wrong, or no published posts match the category filter. Check plugin settings and that articles exist. Grid still caps at 5 posts. Theme PHP is not required for the default home widget.
