Hi Ismael,

that is correct but I want to mix (standard) categories and taxonomy entries. How can I do that? Something like that is not working:

function avia_masonry_custom_query( $query ) {
$args = array(
    'meta_query' => array(
        'relation' => 'OR',
        array(
    		        'post_type'  => 'kanal',
			'taxonomy'  => 'kanal_zuordnung',
			'field'           => 'id',
			'terms'         => array('30', '31'),
			'operator'    => 'NOT IN'
        ),
        array(
			'post_type'  		=> 'post',
			'category__not_in'   => '1',
        ),
    ),
);
	$query = array_merge((array)$args, (array)$query);
	return $query;
}
add_filter('avia_masonry_entries_query', 'avia_masonry_custom_query');

In the end I could even exclude the whole Custom Post Type, that would be okay. So if I could exclude a certain (standard) category and a certain CPT everything should be fine. Do you have a code snippet for me?

Best regards,
Daniel

Found the place. I added the excerpt there alyready like:

'contents' => 'excerpt_read_more',

How do I add the preview_mode? Like that:

'preview_mode' => 'featured_large',

Or do I miss something?

That sounds interesting, Guenni007. Will try that for sure. In an other thread I read an alternative soloution for my atempt. One of them will work for sure. Thanks!

Und viele Grüße nach Bonn.

Nice, Yigit, thanks! Did not find this snippet. Works in the way I would like to have it, but I do have two more questions:

• Is it possible to load a term of a custom taxonomy related to the post with this code? What parts should I alter?
• If I add exactly your code to Child Theme functions.php the author gets displayed but the date is missing. Any idea how to show date AND an other term (of a custom taxonomy)?

Best regards

Thank you! Works as aspected. Learnt a lot from your code.

Why? What is your preference?

Perfect! Thanks a lot, Guenni007!

Any idea on how to hide the head and footer on those posts? In my case it is a custom post type. Should be possible with a modification to the single.php file of the CPT – what do you think?

Even better would be a script to hide head and footer only if the entry is shown inside an iframe? Do you think that is possible?

Best regards,
Daniel

Hey Guenni007,

it is not about the normal blog. I would like to use a ALB blog post element (as in your first link) and display posts of a certain category on a page with the option “blog grid”. If the image or title of the shown entries is clicked the posts should be loaded as iframe in a lightbox, correct. Any ideas?

Thank you for your interest! And thanks Ismael for pointing out that it can be made somehow.

All the best,
Daniel

Hey Ismael,

works perfect. Two questions:

• Why do I have to make the change in the parent theme? If I try to put it in /enfold-child/framework/php/function-set-avia-frontend.php the changed file is not loaded, the frontend always uses the version of the parent theme? Is there a solution to make the change in child theme? Or can I add the “playsinline” attribute with a script in functions.php?

• Shouldn’t this be the defalt behaviour if someone is not setting the “Hide video on mobile devices?” to true? If so the user wants the video to play on all devices. Since this is possible it would be nice to have the “playsinline” attribute added in a new update. Or am I wrong?

All the best,
Daniel

New theme version solved the problem. You may close this thread. Thanks a lot.

Hi Ismael,

That sounds logical at first. Unfortunately, I can’t find this setting anywhere. In the described place under Enfold > Custom Elements I have only the following options:

– Custom Elements Management
– Custom Elements Locked Options

No settings for “Custom Elements For Subitems” are possible. Or is that to be set elsewhere? I activated the CET options in the theme settings (not with a code in the functions.php)

And to be honest, this behavior is not that much of a trouble. If necessary, a user could simly delete the content of the tab and write something else. Much more irritating is in my opinion the misbehavior in relation to the ALB shortcodes as described above and seen in the video. Why are they stripped?

What do the developers say about this?

Regards,
Daniel

Here you go:

Dear Ismael, thank you for your message. As I said, in the live environment the problem is solved. I have completely disabled CET there via the theme settings. Now everything behaves as usual.

On the test environment, the error persists. Just for you, in case you want to recreate the error and solve it for the future.

You write that you can’t reproduce the misbehaviour, but I can with your link. In this context, please note the private link in my post from November 30. There is a video that shows the problem (added the link in private field again). It is about duplicating or creating tabs. And about ALB shortcodes within tabs (or other ALB elements). These are removed when you go into edit mode again.

About your example page: It doesn’t matter if the CET element (the button) is placed on the page or not. If the CET are deactivated in general (via the theme settings), everything is normal, but if they are used -> they are active in the theme, it comes to the misbehavior.

Specifically, go to the page you sent me and click on “New Tab”. Strangely enough, the first tab is duplicated, instead of a new and empty tab is created. Or open a tab and use the magic wand to place an icon in it as a shortcode, save the tab element and leave it. When you go back in and click on the tab where the shortcode was, the tab is empty.

Does that make the problem clearer for you?

As I said, I’ve left the development environment online for now just for you guys to maybe recreate the problem there and fix it in a future update. If you don’t need it (or don’t need it anymore), feel free to let me know and I’ll take it offline. In my live site I don’t use the CET anymore for the time being.

Best regards,
Daniel

Hey Ismael, is there any forecast until when you can take a look at it? Since the editors of the page are curious when they can edit the ALB-Elements again. Right now they can’t because already included ALB-Shortcodes get stripped while working on the elements – if they are opened and closed. Only if the ALB-Elements are not touched the content stays the same …

I appreciate your support!
Cheers, Daniel

Here we go. Since it is only for development purposes I didn’t copy the > 6 GB of media data from the uploads folder. But you can recreate the problem and see all the settings in the backend.
