I am trying to use post as a link to list news articles that link to a website. I want a blog type list with an image and title and when you click on the title it goes to the article. Can you advise?

If you are using WordPress 3.6 (Post > Format: Link), you can, see image below:

JosueNovember 8, 2013 at 7:24 am #186035I created a page for news articles using the blog elements but when I click on the image the link takes me to the blog post even though the post is set up as a link. When I use the Full width Masonry elements and click on the image it takes me to the article the way is is suppose to work BUT, I can’t layout the Full width Masonry with one column – one post per row.
Any ideas why Blog Posts does work with link posts but Full width Masonry works?

If you want to change the link of the featured image open up /wp-content/themes/enfold/includes/loop-index.php and replace
//echo preview image if(strpos($blog_style, 'big') !== false) { if($slider) $slider = '<a href="'.$link.'">'.$slider.'</a>'; if($slider) echo '<div class="big-preview '.$blog_style.'">'.$slider.'</div>'; }
with
//echo preview image if(strpos($blog_style, 'big') !== false) { if(!empty($url)) $slider = '<a href="'.$url.'">'.$slider.'</a>'; if($slider) $slider = '<a href="'.$link.'">'.$slider.'</a>'; if($slider) echo '<div class="big-preview '.$blog_style.'">'.$slider.'</div>'; }

PeterNovember 11, 2013 at 10:30 pm #187001I changed the code per your instructions but it is still not working.

November 12, 2013 at 2:18 am #187066HELP – I need to create a News page and a Press Release page that is a list of posts that go to a link (either an article on another site, or a PDF or the original post on on the website I am creating. The format has to be one column which can be created using the full width masonry short element.
The blog element (which can be formatted for different columns) is not working with the post link format.
I have to resolve this immediately.

November 12, 2013 at 9:37 pm #187456I have the same problem. Is there a solution?
November 13, 2013 at 9:44 am #187657Hey!
Just to be sure that the post is set up right:
1) Select the post format on the right side of the post editor screen (“link” option): http://www.clipular.com/c?5698812991504384=6G6Rd8GJkvEd_BCEjRyYqXXx7pI&f=.png
2) Insert the link url at the very beginning of the post. I.e. the demo post here: http://test.inoplugs.com/kriesi-at-2/ links to kriesi.at and the post content looks like
http://kriesi.at Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Donec quam felis, ultricies nec, pellentesque eu, pretium quis, sem. Nulla consequat massa quis enim. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa. Cum sociis natoque penatibus.
– note that the featured url must be at the very beginning of the post entry.

PeterNovember 13, 2013 at 10:43 am #187688I want that the the post title and thumbnail links not to the post. It should link to the extern link…
November 13, 2013 at 10:55 am #187698Hi!
Yes I know but you need to set up the post properly. In fact my demo page here: http://test.inoplugs.com/kriesi-at-2/ also links to an external page (just click on the title) but only because I inserted the link at the very beginning of the post content ( http://kriesi.at ).
Best regards,
PeterNovember 13, 2013 at 10:59 am #187701I have set up the post properly, but I want that the link appears on the category-page, frontpage…
November 13, 2013 at 3:07 pm #187771Hi!
The title always links to the external page – i.e. here http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/blog/page/2/ the “Another post with post format “Link”” also links to Kriesi.at and it’s a blog page. If it does not work for you create us an an admin account and post the login credentials as private reply – we’ll look into it.
Best regards,

November 13, 2013 at 8:00 pm #187922Your test example looks like its on a post – not a blog page
November 13, 2013 at 8:02 pm #187925Can you let me know what you have found when you logged in? I think there is a bug with the blog post page since the portfolio page works.
November 13, 2013 at 9:03 pm #187990Checking in to see of anyone is looking at the issue on my site?
November 14, 2013 at 10:52 am #188288Hi!
Ok, you’re using the “grid blog” layout – that’s why it doesn’t work because the grid layout doesn’t support different post formats. However I can understand that the link format can make sense (even if you use it with the grid layout) and I decided to implement the “link post format” into the grid layout. We’ll add this change to the next theme update and I also updated the code on your server.
Regards,
PeterNovember 14, 2013 at 7:31 pm #188519THANK YOU!
