Thanks for writing in.

Your site is currently not using X theme and I’d like to check what you’re currently working on.

Please note that carousel option is only available if your stack is on ethos. Please provide your admin login credentials in private reply.

Thanks!

If you wish to show featured pages in your post carousel, please remove the code from previous threads and follow these instructions. As the featured post carousel option is only available in Posts, you’ll need to manually add it for your pages.

Step 1: Copy the file wp-content/themes/x/framework/views/ethos/_post-carousel.php in your child theme’s folder /framework/views/ethos/, open the file in a text editor and replace entire code with following:

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/ETHOS/_POST-CAROUSEL.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Outputs the post carousel that appears at the top of the masthead.
// =============================================================================

GLOBAL $post_carousel_entry_id;

$post_carousel_entry_id = get_the_ID();

$is_enabled = x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_enable', '' ) == '1';
$count      = x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_count' );
$display    = x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_display' );

switch ( $display ) {
  case 'most-commented' :
    $args = array(
      'post_type'      => 'page',
      'posts_per_page' => $count,
      'orderby'        => 'comment_count',
      'order'          => 'DESC'
    );
    break;
  case 'random' :
    $args = array(
      'post_type'      => 'page',
      'posts_per_page' => $count,
      'orderby'        => 'rand'
    );
    break;
  case 'featured' :
    $args = array(
      'post_type'      => 'page',
      'posts_per_page' => $count,
      'orderby'        => 'date',
      'meta_key'       => 'x_ethos_post_carousel_display',
      'meta_value'     => 'on'
    );
    break;
}

?>

<?php if ( $is_enabled ) : ?>

  <ul class="x-post-carousel unstyled">

    <?php $wp_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>

    <?php if ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
      <?php while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>

        <li class="x-post-carousel-item">
          <?php x_ethos_entry_cover( 'post-carousel' ); ?>
        </li>

      <?php endwhile; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

    <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

    <script>

    jQuery(document).ready(function() {
      jQuery('.x-post-carousel').slick({
        speed          : 500,
        slide          : 'li',
        slidesToShow   : <?php echo x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_display_count_extra_large', '5' ); ?>,
        slidesToScroll : 1,
        responsive     : [
          { breakpoint : 1500, settings : { speed : 500, slide : 'li', slidesToShow : <?php echo x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_display_count_large', '4' ); ?> } },
          { breakpoint : 1200, settings : { speed : 500, slide : 'li', slidesToShow : <?php echo x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_display_count_medium', '3' ); ?> } },
          { breakpoint : 979,  settings : { speed : 500, slide : 'li', slidesToShow : <?php echo x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_display_count_small', '2' ); ?> } },
          { breakpoint : 550,  settings : { speed : 500, slide : 'li', slidesToShow : <?php echo x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_display_count_extra_small', '1' ); ?> } }
        ]
      });
    });

    </script>

  </ul>

<?php endif; ?>

Step 2: If you select Featured under your Customizer settings for post carousel, you’ll need to manually add custom field to your pages. To do that, simply add x_ethos_post_carousel_display custom field with the value on in each of your page that you want to display as featured in the post carousel (see: http://prntscr.com/6f01p9). In case the “Custom Fields” section isn’t visible for you, you can enable it under Screen Options.

That’s it.

Hope this helps. 🙂

Thank you.

YES, Thank You. This Part works correctly now. But I still get a warning message in the front if you Hover over the Page image. Is it possibel NOT to show Author, Date, Category?

.x-post-carousel.unstyled .entry-cover:hover .h-entry-cover {
top: calc(100% - 4em);
}
.x-post-carousel-meta {
display: none;
}

Hope it helps.
