Beskriuwing
Frontpage Manager allows you to customize how the posts appear on your frontpage in several different ways.
- you can have the posts drawn from all categories or a subset of your choosing
- you can choose how many posts should display (this is distinct from WordPress’ built-in Reading Settings which applies to all blog pages)
- you can have each post limited in length by number of characters, words, or paragraphs
- you can choose which HTML tags should be stripped from posts
- you can specify a read more link, etc. if you like
- you can hide the category in the page title, if you wish
The plugin will attempt to make sure that any tags that are interrupted by the post-limiting feature are matched so as not to cause formatting issues.
Compatibility
I have tested this plugin from WordPress 2.8.

- Does this plugin also apply if you have a static page set as your frontpage rather than latest posts?
-
Yes. There are settings in the back end such that you can apply all options to your main posts page even if you have a static page as the front page, and you can also apply the word/character/paragraph limitation to the page that is your static front page.
- How can I style how the read more link looks?
-
The link is contained within a div that has been given the class ‘fpm
_
readon’. Simply add .fpm_
readon{} to your theme’s style.css and put whatever CSS styling you want in it.

0.9 beta — December 2 2009
- Plugin launched
0.91 beta — December 4 2009
- Removed default from ‘Read more linktext’ so you don’t have to have any if you don’t want
- Allowed option ‘all’ for ‘Tags to strip’ for those who wish to get rid of all HTML markup
- Fixed small bug where ‘Tags to strip’ field was disappearing inappropriately
1.0 December 7 2009
- Implemented selection of multiple categories from which posts will be displayed

1.1 May 14 2010
- Fixed the PHP error that showed up when no category was selected, and put in a warning
- Made it so you can apply the word/character/paragraph limitation to a static front page
- Made it so you can apply both post category/number limitation and word/character/paragraph limitation to main posts page, when it isn’t the front page (i.e. you have a static front page)
- Made it so that the post category is not displayed in the title of the homepage
1.2 June 6 2010
- Bug fix: Made the hide category in page title a togglable option in the backend since it doesn’t always seem to work 😛 This is just a quick workaround until I have the time to devote to figuring out why my method of hiding the category in page title, doesn’t always work (sigh!)
1.3 February 25 2011
- Bug fix: The existing method of limiting by category was not working with WordPress 3.1 so I added in another method that should.
- Bug fix: Made a small change having to do with hiding the category in the page title.
