i’m having problems with the custom latest news (recent post) widget. I placed it in the side bar and set up the widget like this:
notice i said “show title only” (no dates)However on the front end i get this:
How to i turn the dates, and photos, off so that it only shows the title?
Also is there any way to have this widget/sidebar show up on post single blog entries of a certain category only?
if someone were to click one of the links in the sidebar it would take them to one of my posts in the “press-release” category and that sidebar would still be there. I want to have different sidebars for different post categories. Similarly with post archives if possible.no caching on my site. haven’t installe that yet. there isn’t even an option to not show the pictures though. The first time you use the widget it’s set to “no date” and that’s when i notice the problem, so i truly don’t believe it’s a caching problem. I am hosting with Greengeeks.
Hey!
Please add following code to Quick CSS in Enfold theme options under General Styling tab
.news-thumb, .news-time { display: none; }You can edit your posts and choose to display certain sidebar under Layout Section :)
Best regards,
Yigiti can do that, why doesn’t the extension do what it is supposed to do though? is there something wrong on my end? why does hosting have to do with this?
The other part of my question is setting up auto categorization, is this possible? IF so how, and also can this be done for archives?
Hi,
Could you please provide us with a temporary admin login so that we can take a closer look? You can post the details in the Private Content section of your reply.
Best regards,
Rikardi’ve done a little more investigation on this one. I added a plugin that is supposed to do exactly what I want.
The way the plugin works is this:
you create a shortcode and place it in a widget area (in my case the custom widget area i created is called press-releases)
this is my shortcode:
[aw_year_links cat="3" postslug="press-release-2"]
it tells the plugin to load, by years that have posts all posts in the category of id 3 (press-releases). it further tells the system that if a user clicks on one of the years in the sidebar then take the user to the page with slug press-release-2.This part of the plugin is working fine. the sidebar i have loaded currently on this page as an example
http://nodal.rudtek.com/press-room/press-releasesThe next step is to place a 2nd shortcode on the press-release-2 page that was identified in the first shortcode above
so i went to this page http://nodal.rudtek.com/press-release2 and placed this code:
[aw_show_posts cat="3" readmore="Learn More" publishedon="n/j/Y" showsubheader="no"]which tells this page to load the excerpts from the same category.
This loads the posts correctly but the sidebar on this page doesn’t work right, it throws errors. and loads a generic sidebar with the default archives, pages, and categories (none of these widgets are loaded in any of my widget areas)Notice: Undefined variable: end in /home/rudtekco/public_html/nodal/wp-content/themes/enfold/framework/php/function-set-avia-frontend.php on line 1035If i take the page short code (2nd one above) out of the page at press-release2, then the error goes away and the plugin sidebar loads as normal.
I’ve tried this with a different theme and the plugin loads normally (yearly list is loaded in sidebar everywhere) and I’ve had the plugin author try to fix it, but he is saying it’s something to do with enfold. The feedback from the plugin author (who attempted to help) can be found here:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebar-changing-on-page-shortcode-leads-to?replies=11#post-7524859Can you please help?
If you have or know of a better way to do this, i sure would appreciate that as well. Login credentials are below
Hey!
refuse from bumping into your own thread as it automatically marks it as “answered” and by the way we have a weekend as well :).
We can’t provide support for any 3rd party plugins, as written in our support policy. If plugin’s author can provide a fix for you, I recommend to hire a freelance developer for this job. You can find one for example here: http://kriesi.at/contact/customization
Best regards,
AndyAndy, this shouldnt’ be marked answered because it’s not. now as to support for 3rd party plugins, it’s your theme that’s causing the plugin to stop. Not the otherway around. Isn’t that something you might like of which you might like to be aware and fix?
Hi,
I think Andy wanted to say that the thread is sent to the back of our support queue and we try to answer all threads at a first-come-first-serve basis.
We cannot be compatible with all plugins, it’s just impossible. And I think it’s about how you look at it as well, if the plugin doesn’t work with a theme shouldn’t the plugin authors fix so that it is? You can always look for alternatives to see if another one works out better for you.
Thanks,
Rikard
