Hi,

For the homepage of my site (EdahnGolan.com), I want to have the latest post across the page, and the following three posts right below it. I set up two recent posts, the first with a count of 1, the second with a count of three and an offset of 1.

For some reason, the first short code always shows the latest three posts. it seems to reset the post count and shows the option as blank instead of 1. How can I fix it? As a workaround, I’m currently using the Post masonry grid, but I don’t like it because of the delay it has in appearing.

Thanks in advance,

Edahn

Hey Edahn,

Please set up the Recent Posts and give us access to your WordPress admin so we could check the issue and the back-end setup.

Thanks.

Hey Edahn,

Sorry but I couldn’t login with the given credentials. Please check.

Thanks.

Could you please try again, I just tried the login and it worked fine.

Hello There,

Thanks for the updates! I wanted to create a test page using Cornerstone to compare it but I couldn’t. It is somehow disabled with the role of the account you have provided. Are you using multisite installation? Could you please provide us access so that we can use Cornerstone?

Regarding the recent posts element, you should select vertical for the orientation and select only one post to display. Hope this helps.

Hey Edahn,

I see the issue now and can replicate it on my test site. Right now, there is no solution for it so I’d recommend if you can switch to Cornerstone, please do so. Also, Cornerstone is X’s page builder and it has lots of advantage over Visual Composer. See https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/visual-composer-vs-cornerstone/#post-386513

Thanks.

HI,

Switched to Cornerstone, works. One small glitch – the visual it pulls from the post is enlarged instead of fitted. Odd. Also, now that I got that the recent posts issue is fixed, is there any way to add the start of the post text to after the headline? It would draw in readers to a much greater degree.

Thanks,

Edahn

PS – There are two thin lines in the top of the page now, I think it was not there before. How do I remove them?

Hi Edahn,

To remove the border in the header area, please add this code in the customizer:

.x-topbar, 
.x-logobar {
    border-bottom: 0;
}

Please follow this thread on how to add an excerpt to the recent post items.

As for the featured images appearance on the recent post items, they are set to display the cropped version by default depending on the space that is used by an feature post item for responsive purposes.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I’ll give it a shot.

Let us know how it goes.

Cheers!

Hey,

The recent posts code change did not work as planned. Instead of the text appearing right after the image, a large space appears below the image, and only then the text (please see attached screen capture). Not sure what went wrong.

Hey There,

Your screenshot was too big.

Please resize it then upload it again.

Thanks.
