Great, thank you! The layout problem seems to be fixed now with your help!

I followed the thread for the connection of custom post types with “recent post” and followed all the steps for editing the funktions.php in the child theme folder. Unfortunately a syntax error occures, that I could not fix. Can you see what the problem is?

This is the message I’m getting:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘video_typ’ (T_STRING) …. on line 65

This is the code I tried to add to the functions.php:

function x_shortcode_recent_posts_v2( $atts ) {
  extract( shortcode_atts( array(
    'id'           => '',
    'class'        => '',
    'style'        => '',
    'type'         => 'post',
    'count'        => '',
    'category'     => '',
    'offset'       => '',
    'orientation'  => '',
    // 'show_excerpt' => 'true',
    'no_sticky'    => '',
    'no_image'     => '',
    'fade'         => ''
  ), $atts, 'x_recent_posts' ) );

  $allowed_post_types = apply_filters( 'cs_recent_posts_post_types', array( 'post' => 'post' ) );
  $type = ( isset( $allowed_post_types[$type] ) ) ? $allowed_post_types[$type] : 'post';

  $id            = ( $id           != ''     ) ? 'id="' . esc_attr( $id ) . '"' : '';
  $class         = ( $class        != ''     ) ? 'x-recent-posts cf ' . esc_attr( $class ) : 'x-recent-posts cf';
  $style         = ( $style        != ''     ) ? 'style="' . $style . '"' : '';
  $count         = ( $count        != ''     ) ? $count : 3;
  $category      = ( $category     != ''     ) ? $category : '';

  if( $type == 'post' ){
    $category_type = 'category_name';
  } elseif ($type == 'x-portfolio') {
    $category_type = 'portfolio-category';
  } elseif ($type == 'video_beitrag’) {
    $category_type = 'video_typ';
  }

  $offset        = ( $offset       != ''     ) ? $offset : 0;
  $orientation   = ( $orientation  != ''     ) ? ' ' . $orientation : ' horizontal';
  // $show_excerpt  = ( $show_excerpt == 'true' );

  $js_params = array(

  );

  $data = cs_generate_data_attributes( 'recent_posts', $js_params );

  $output = "<div {$id} class=\"{$class}{$orientation}\" {$style} {$data} data-fade=\"{$fade}\" >";

Hi there,

It’s because of this,

 elseif ($type == 'video_beitrag’) {
    $category_type = 'video_typ';
  }

should be like this

 elseif ($type == 'video_beitrag') {
    $category_type = 'video_typ';
  }

Please check your codes for proper quotes.

Thanks!

😀 thanks!!!!! I was too blind to see it 🙂

I now see that I have to choose weather I want to show custom posts types or regular ones in my “recent post” widget. Is there any way to display ALL the recent post types (custom or regular) together?

And how can I make the custom post types appear on the sidbar under “recent posts”?

Thanks for the link! I tried changing the functinos.php accordingly but the cutom posts still won’t show up on the sidebar or the “recent post” widget. Can you give me further instructions?

This is what the functions.php looks like:

Hi there,

You can’t add all post types automatically (regular and custom post type). Media images, attachment, revisions, and more and are all post types. You’ll have to be specific which post types you’ll have to add.

Then please change this,

add_action('init', 'override_shortcode' );
function override_shortcode(){
  remove_shortcode( 'x_recent_posts' );
  add_shortcode( 'x_recent_posts', 'x_shortcode_recent_posts_v2' );
}

to this

add_action('init', 'override_shortcode' );
function override_shortcode(){
  remove_shortcode( 'x_recent_posts' );
remove_shortcode( 'recent_posts' );
remove_shortcode( 'cs_recent_posts' );
  add_shortcode( 'x_recent_posts', 'x_shortcode_recent_posts_v2' );
  add_shortcode( 'recent_posts', 'x_shortcode_recent_posts_v2' );
  add_shortcode( 'cs_recent_posts', 'x_shortcode_recent_posts_v2' );
}

Thanks!
