I am looking for a widget that will get the latest post's image from a category and display it with a lightbox on click.



The posts of the category will only have an image so essentially I want to display the latest article (no title no link no description). When clicking on the image it will open as a lightbox.



Does anyone know of any widget that does that?

          The plugin 'Advanced Post List' allows you to grab any content of the very latest post in any category, such as "News", including images associated with it.



          My site pulls the title and first 500 chars of text from the post onto our homepage ( like so;



              <a href="[post_permalink]" alt="Latest news post">[post_title]</a>
          
[post_excerpt length="500"]...<B>


          But you can instead use the following shortcode to pull the featured image:



          [post_thumb]


          As for a lightbox, you'll need to find a general lightbox plugin that can only be activated on one page. Plenty of them around.

                    A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

                    Image
                    0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{...
