Display an index without images within the index section, on my front page

[Keez_80]

1. My motive is to display an index on my front page.

-A list of ONLY Post titles(links to posts) in a grid or like a single column table or list. Most of the examples i have seen are for Thumbnails/images/videos, which occupy alot of space.
-It should occupy the space of only the text and not a full tile.
-I want to be able to control which categories/recent post titles are displayed.

I tried essential grid, but all displays are in tile form. I want to only display the title without the tile format. I am new to word press and X theme. Could you please help me out with this.

Hi,

You can set your homepage to dispaly the latest post, then hide featured image using css.

Add code below in Theme Options > CSS

.blog .entry-featured {
    display:none;
}

Hope that hepls

Thank you for responding Paul.

I have 1 section with 3 columns. My question is about column 1. I want the result to only be in this column.

I managed to find the recent posts element, which has been added as seen in the screenshot.

However ;

(1) it has a max of 4 posts as an option… how to I make it display say 8 or all for example.(2) How can i assign posts based on categories or tags here using this element.

Hi There,

You can use the Offset options to display more posts. For example, if you want 8 posts, you can do this:

[recent_posts count="4" ]
[recent_posts count="4" offset="4"]

Also you can follow the guide here (http://demo.theme.co/integrity-1/shortcodes/recent-posts/).

Hope that helps.

Darshana thank you.

FYI, I am using the classic recent posts element. (Attached is a screenshot)

I tried adding an offset 2, besides the 4 count. I have also added some categories. But it continues to show me only 4.

In your response and on the link you suggested entering a code:

" [recent_posts count=“8” no_image=“true” orientation=“vertical” category=“hurry”] "

Could you please let me know, where I can insert the above code in the element.

just to add, i removed the “+” from the offset field as well.

Hi there,

The code is not right as you only allow to have a maximum of 4 in the count. So to have 8 you need to add something like this:

[recent_posts count="4" no_image="true" orientation="vertical" category="hurry"]
[recent_posts count="4" offset="4" no_image="true" orientation="vertical" category="hurry"]

Thank you.

Christopher, could you let me know where in the element, should i enter this code please… I don’t see where i can enter this code.

Hi there,

You can use the Classic Raw Content to add the code:

Thank you.
