Hi

I am trying to show 8 recent posts in a Press section half way down my home page:

http://www.grillo.mx/

I saw a thread here from someone else who suggested duplicating the recent posts shortcode, which is limited to 4 posts, then using the offset function.

No matter what number I add to the offset entry, both rows have the identical posts (from most recent onwards). Please can you let me know how to fix this ?

ALSO,

1. please can you let me know how to fix the hover images ? they currently come up as orange blank screens.
2. please can you let me know how to remove the featured image from the post page? (I dont want a magnified low res image there)
3. lastly, please can you advise me how to make some of the recent posts unclickable.. ie there are some that I just want to use as icons.

Thanks as always ! Really fantastic service you guys offer !

Hi Andres,

I think you’re still using an old X shortcodes plugin. I confirmed that by visiting this http://www.grillo.mx/wp-content/plugins/x-shortcodes/x-shortcodes.php and it isn’t existing yet.
Old X shortcode uses setup.php instead of x-shortcodes.php

Please update your copy.

1. Add this css at your customizer’s custom css.

.x-recent-posts a:hover img {
opacity: 1 !important;
}

2. Use this

.single-post .entry-featured {
display: none;
}

3. Not sure what you mean by that, could you clarify? Could you tell me which posts should be unclickable or with icons?

Thank you. Let me know.

Hi

Thanks very much.. updating the x shortcode plugin did the trick !

The hover css worked also.

for item 2 the css you provided worked, however it also made my video links disappear (I only wanted to remove the featured image from the post. Is there anyway to get these back ?

for item 3 I had wanted the 3rd post (efeck tv) and 4th post (reactor fm) to be unclickable – ie its not possible to visit those posts… is that possible ?

thanks!

Hey Andres,

For #2, please add the code

.single-format-standard .entry-featured {
display:block !important;
}

#3 is technically possible but would be outside the scope of our support because for that we would need to modify X Shortcodes.

Thanks.

Hi,
it seems i have the same problem with the recent posts issue.
I have updated x shortcodes to the latest version but i get the same latest posts although i set the offset function already.
Check on the bottom of the home page.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Omri,

Thank you for providing us the login information!

Your X Shortcodes Plugin is outdated, its version is 2.0.9, where we have added the “offset” attribute to [recent_posts] shortcode in version 2.0.10.

Please update it to the latest version. Here you can read our detailed article on updating the theme and plugins: http://theme.co/x/member/kb/updating-your-theme-and-plugins/

Hope this helps. Please let us know if you still face any issue, we’ll be happy to assist.

Thank you.

I have the recent posts with offsets so that I can show 10 items. The last item, which should be offset #10 won’t show up. Every other number will show.

Hi Dmills1,

Would you mind providing your admin login credentials in private? I just like to conduct some test.

Thanks!
