== Description ==

Highlight unread WordPress posts.

Features:

 * Works right out of the box
 * 4 different types of markers for highlighting posts: an orange circle, a "New" label, a picture (customizable) and a flag icon
 * Option: the "unread" mark may disappear only after the full version of the post was opened
 * It doesn't just store the date of the user's last visit, but checks each post individually
 * 2 functions for WordPress developers: to check if a post is unread and to get the total number of unread posts


== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= 1. How can I see that the plugin works? =

1. Install and activate the plugin.
2. Open your blog's main page.
3. Add a new post to your blog.
4. Open the main page once again. An orange circle will appear to the left of the new post's title.

= 2. The plugin is exploding my page's markup. How to fix it? =

Try to enable the option "Check page markup before displaying a marker" (plugin options, advanced settings).

= 3. What do I need the mnp_is_new_post() and mnp_new_posts_count() functions for? =

These two functions can be useful for developing WordPress themes.
~~~~
mnp_is_new_post($post);
~~~~
Returns true if specific post is unread, otherwise false.
Parameters: $post (optional) - post ID or object.
~~~~
mnp_new_posts_count($query);
~~~~
Returns the total number of unread posts.
Parameters: $query (optional) - WP_Query query string.
Example:
~~~~
echo mnp_new_posts_count('cat=1');
~~~~
This will show the number of unread posts in category with id = 1.
