Using Business Pro for Wordpress.  Added Advanced Recent Posts plugin but can't get titles to show when applied to page.  Also tried Recent Posts by Category plugin.  Neither will show titles when applied to any widget locations (right now trying Advanced Recent Posts on the "Left" and Recent Posts by Category on "Right".  Needless to say, there IS text in the "Title:" field in the widget admin area.  ALL of the plugins that came in the distribution of Business Pro seem to be working just fine - all showing their titles.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

It appears you have the No Title style applied to those widgets; looking at the code with Firebug shows that the title is there, it's just commented out, which is what the No Title style is supposed to do.

There is no "No--Title" style in the widget admin.  It is set to "Default", the same as the other widgets where it's working.  (Assuming we're talking about the field: "Widget Style for advanced-recent-posts-2" for example.)  I tried setting it to Highlight1 and that didn't help.

If you PM me WP Login and FTP access details, I'll take a look at the code and see if I can figure out what's happening with your site.  There is no reason for it to be doing that, and if it's an actual bug, I need to fix it as soon as possible.

I was able to add code to fix the issues for the Advanced Recent Posts widget, but the other one cannot be fixed with the way it is currently programmed.

Both plugins are programmed in a way that prevents the custom code needed by the theme to apply widget styles.  I programmed in a "fix" a while ago that can usually override that bad programming by setting a special variable in the theme-globals.php file; it worked for the Advanced Recent Posts widget, but the Recent Posts By Category widget appears to be beyond what my override can fix.

Hopefully what I was able to do is enough to get the results you need.  Sorry I couldn't do more.

UPDATE: I was able to fix the other widget, but I had to edit the code of the plugin itself, and it will most likely break again if you ever update that plugin, so I don't recommend using it.
