Hello,

I’m getting Bool(true) on top of the post carousel in my home page, and I don’t know how it got there. Could you please tell me how to get rid of it?

the site is: http://staging.uniquegiftsandart.com/

Please see the attachment.

Thanks!

Hi There,

Thanks for providing the information. Regretfully we could not connect to your ftp. The password seems to be invalid. Please double check it for us. I am guessing the “bool(true)” comes from your template override. For the meantime, please make sure that the contents of the _post-carousel.php in your child theme. The default code is this:

<?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'      => 'post',
      'posts_per_page' => $count,
      'orderby'        => 'comment_count',
      'order'          => 'DESC'
    );
    break;
  case 'random' :
    $args = array(
      'post_type'      => 'post',
      'posts_per_page' => $count,
      'orderby'        => 'rand'
    );
    break;
  case 'featured' :
    $args = array(
      'post_type'      => 'post',
      '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' ); ?>,
        slidesToScroll : 1,
        rtl            : <?php echo json_encode( is_rtl() ); ?>,
        responsive     : [
          { breakpoint : 1500, settings : { speed : 500, slide : 'li', slidesToShow : <?php echo x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_display_count_large' ); ?> } },
          { breakpoint : 1200, settings : { speed : 500, slide : 'li', slidesToShow : <?php echo x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_display_count_medium' ); ?> } },
          { breakpoint : 979,  settings : { speed : 500, slide : 'li', slidesToShow : <?php echo x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_display_count_small' ); ?> } },
          { breakpoint : 550,  settings : { speed : 500, slide : 'li', slidesToShow : <?php echo x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_carousel_display_count_extra_small' ); ?> } }
        ]
      });
    });

    </script>

  </ul>

<?php endif; ?>

Please let us know how it goes.

Hello,

Thanks for checking. I reset the ftp password to the same I gave you before so it should work.
I also checked the _post-carousel.php and it seems to be the same as the one you show above, except it displays products from my shop, which is the way I want it. But do please check it again just in case. I still cannot find a way to get rid of the Bool(true) at the top. I appreciate your help.

Thanks!

Hi There,

Everything should be fine now.

I comment out this code var_dump($wp_query->have_posts()); on the line 53 of this file: /wp-content/themes/x-child/framework/views/ethos/_post-carousel.php.

Cheers!

[Pollito69]

Yes, it looks good. Thanks for your help.
