post slider show full content

Thanks, Ismael. I did try the Content Slider, but, for one, the shortcode wizard in there uses a limited list — there’s no option.for columns in there, and it doesn’t look like using the column shortcode works in that element. Plus, using shortcode makes it hard for the client to make updates themselves. And also, the arrows for that element are not so hot — I much prefer the arrows in the post slider. But if you don’t have (or want to create) a snippet I could add to my child theme to make the post slider show full posts, I totally understand — just let me know. I guess I’d probably go with a third party slider plugin, like Smart Slider, then. Thanks again, Ismael — I always appreciate for your help!

Nice! Now (and I’m sorry to keep pushing on this) is there a way to tweak that so it works with the Advanced Layout Editor in the posts? It seems to be showing all the shortcode when I use the Advanced Layout Editor in the post (see https://fpamed.com/home-team-slider-test/ ). Also, I can hide the featured images with css, but if there’s an easy way to hide those in the function, that’d be awesome. Thanks again, Ismael!

Fair enough — thanks again, Ismael!

Actually, Ismael, sorry, it looks like — even if I use the default editor — the shortcode in the default editor’s not working, so I can’t do the columns or add a button: https://fpamed.com/home-team-slider-test/ — Is there any way to get the Post Slider to process shortcode in the default editor?

Yes — that worked! return do_shortcode($excerpt); I think the only thing left is that It’s still outputting like an excerpt in that it doesn’t seem to register paragraphs — I can probably work around that with dividers and/or css, but if you know how to get it to register paragraphs that’d be perfect. Thanks again, Ismael.

That worked! So here’s the complete function to pull the full content of posts into the post slider, process the shortcode, and add paragraph breaks:

function avf_post_slider_entry_excerpt_custom($excerpt, $prepare_excerpt, $permalink, $entry ) {
	 $excerpt = $entry->post_content;
	return do_shortcode(wpautop($excerpt));
}
add_filter('avf_post_slider_entry_excerpt', 'avf_post_slider_entry_excerpt_custom', 10, 4);

Thanks again, Ismael — I repeat: you’re the man!
