In the 3.20 version you can configure the plugin to use something called "featuredtext". This is a custom field that you specify when you create your post/page and you specify what you want the pop-up text in the content gallery to say. If you don't use this "featuredtext" then the plugin uses all of the text of the post/page - which duplicates your content and isn't something you really want. BTW the 0.5 version of the plugin didn't do that. Hope you all find that info of some use :) Just to update on the settings that the content gallery uses.

Someone else told me you could alter the settngs. I'd be reluctant to say that plugin was your issue - I know loads of people who are using it no worries. If you want me to take a look at your site, do drop me a line via my contact form.

I've only got it active on the homepage mind. Any idea what these settings are that you mention - it's no doubt me being blind, but I can't seem to see anything to tweak ! Thanks John Hi Kirsty

Do you think that the issue was that you had it on all pages? thanks, Marc Hi Kirsty,
