Hi X Themeco Staff,

I followed the above, as well as your other post on placing the post-carousel above the footer. I’m having two issues:

1. The featured pages are not showing up in the carousel. The post carousel works when set to most commented or random, but not featured. I’ve placed the custom field on pages but for some reason the pages are being pulled up in the source code when set to featured.

2. I would like to change the x-post-carousel-meta to have a small text or excerpt about the page instead of meta info. I realize what I need to change is in the ethos.php, and I’ve copied the section below but I wasn’t sure what class to give and whether I should use get_the_content or some other function.

  <?php GLOBAL $post_carousel_entry_id; ?>

      <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
        <a class="entry-cover" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" style="<?php echo x_ethos_entry_cover_background_image_style(); ?>">
          <h2 class="h-entry-cover"><span><?php ( $post_carousel_entry_id == get_the_ID() ) ? the_title() : x_the_alternate_title(); ?></span></h2>
          <div class="x-post-carousel-meta">
            <span class="entry-cover-author"><?php echo get_the_author(); ?></span>
            <span class="entry-cover-categories"><?php echo x_ethos_post_categories(); ?></span>
            <span class="entry-cover-date"><?php echo get_the_date( 'F j, Y' ); ?></span>
          </div>
        </a>
      </article>

    <?php }

  }

Thanks in advance for your help, and my website is http://www.zoeleblanc.com . I’ll post my private info after this post.
Cheers,
Zoe
