I have added the following code to my child theme. Even when I manually insert a recent posts shortcode with the enable_excerpt=”true” attribute nothing shows.

function x_shortcode_recent_posts_v2code( $atts ) {
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
‘id’ => ”,
‘class’ => ”,
‘style’ => ”,
‘type’ => ”,
‘count’ => ”,
‘category’ => ”,
‘enable_excerpt’ => ”,
‘offset’ => ”,
‘orientation’ => ”,
‘no_image’ => ”,
‘fade’ => ”
), $atts ) );

$id = ( $id != ” ) ? ‘id=”‘ . esc_attr( $id ) . ‘”‘ : ”;
$class = ( $class != ” ) ? ‘x-recent-posts cf ‘ . esc_attr( $class ) : ‘x-recent-posts cf’;
$style = ( $style != ” ) ? ‘style=”‘ . $style . ‘”‘ : ”;
$type = ( $type == ‘portfolio’ ) ? ‘x-portfolio’ : ‘post’;
$count = ( $count != ” ) ? $count : 3;
$category = ( $category != ” ) ? $category : ”;
$category_type = ( $type == ‘post’ ) ? ‘category_name’ : ‘portfolio-category’;
$offset = ( $offset != ” ) ? $offset : 0;
$orientation = ( $orientation != ” ) ? ‘ ‘ . $orientation : ‘ horizontal’;
$no_image = ( $no_image == ‘true’ ) ? $no_image : ”;
$fade = ( $fade == ‘true’ ) ? $fade : ‘false’;
$enable_excerpt = ( $enable_excerpt == ‘true’ ) ? true : false;

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

$q = new WP_Query( array(
‘orderby’ => ‘date’,
‘post_type’ => “{$type}”,
‘posts_per_page’ => “{$count}”,
‘offset’ => “{$offset}”,
“{$category_type}” => “{$category}”
) );

if ( $q->have_posts() ) : while ( $q->have_posts() ) : $q->the_post();

if ( $no_image == ‘true’ ) {
$image_output = ”;
$image_output_class = ‘no-image’;
} else {
$image_output = ‘<div class=”x-recent-posts-img”>’ . get_the_post_thumbnail( get_the_ID(), ‘entry-‘ . get_theme_mod( ‘x_stack’ ) . ‘-cropped’, NULL ) . ‘</div>’;
$image_output_class = ‘with-image’;
}

$output .= ‘‘
. ‘<article id=”post-‘ . get_the_ID() . ‘” class=”‘ . implode( ‘ ‘, get_post_class() ) . ‘”>’
. ‘<div class=”entry-wrap”>’
. $image_output
. ‘<div class=”x-recent-posts-content”>’
. ‘<h3 class=”h-recent-posts”>’ . get_the_title() . ‘</h3>’
. ‘<span class=”x-recent-posts-date”>’ . get_the_date() . ‘</span>’
. ( $enable_excerpt ? ‘<span class=”x-recent-posts-excerpt”>’ . strip_tags( get_the_excerpt() ) . ‘</span>’ : ” )
. ‘</div>’
. ‘</div>’
. ‘</article>’
. ‘‘;

endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata();

$output .= ‘</div>’;

return $output;
}

add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘change_recent_posts_to_v2’);

function change_recent_posts_to_v2() {
remove_shortcode( ‘recent_posts’ );
add_shortcode( ‘recent_posts’, ‘x_shortcode_recent_posts_v2code’ );
}

Here is the manual shortcake I tried

[x_recent_posts type=”post” enable_excerpt=”true” count=”1″ orientation=”vertical”]

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in! But instead of using a custom code, since we do have this extensions now. We advice to use either the Essential Grid or The Grid to output a customise grid of posts.

Cheers!
