I have been able to put the most recent posts into the sidebar, but I cannot work out how to make it look like in the ICON 3 demo. For me it just displays post title and date, no thumbnail of featured image. How and where do I go about to change this? All I a able to affect is the Title above the posts and how many posts to show…

I know that I can show recent posts on a page using the short codes but I want to change the appearance of the recent posts shown in the sidebar.

Site: maydaydesign.se
Wordpress v: 4.1.1
Theme version: 3.2.2
Shortcode plugin version: ?

Thanks,
JT

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

You’re currently using recent posts widget which is built-in feature from wordpress. And not from X theme’s shortcodes.

What you need is X’s recent posts shortcode that you could past to your text widget.

Check this for more info 🙂

Thanks, this is what I was looking for!
Didn’t realise I could put the shortcode in a text widget.

You’re welcome. Glad we could help.

The only thing is the last post’s div is always 10-20 pixels wider than the previous ones. I thought it had to do with the featured image or perhaps the length of the post title, but it’s always the last one regardless.

Would you mind providing us with your website URL so we can take a closer look?
Many thanks.

Hi There,

You could try adding this in your Customizer’s Custom CSS:

.x-recent-posts.vertical a{
width:100%
}

Hope it helps.

Cheers!

But how could we modify the actual recent posts meta-data; i need to display the date first and then the title of the post and then a shorter excerpt, all that in the widget.

Where is the template behind the shortcode?
