Hello,
I recently updated X theme at audacitymagazine.com, and once again the top post carousel is blank. We want it to show the most recent posts. In the past, we had gotten assistance here to make necessary code changes to make this happen in the child theme, and to fix the blank carousel with success. It had worked well for quite awhile until this update.
My child theme _post-slider.php looks like this:
<?php
// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/ETHOS/_POST-SLIDER.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Outputs the post slider that appears at the top of the blog.
// =============================================================================
$is_blog = is_home();
$is_archive = is_category() || is_tag();
if ( $is_blog || $is_archive ) :
if ( $is_blog ) {
$info = array( 'blog', NULL, NULL, '_x_ethos_post_slider_blog_display' );
} elseif ( $is_archive ) {
$type = ( is_category() ) ? 'cat' : 'tag_id';
$info = array( 'archive', $type, get_queried_object_id(), '_x_ethos_post_slider_archives_display' );
}
$slider_enabled = x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_slider_' . $info[0] . '_enable' ) == '1';
$count = x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_slider_' . $info[0] . '_count' );
$display = x_get_option( 'x_ethos_post_slider_' . $info[0] . '_display' );
$blog_slider_is_enabled = $slider_enabled && $is_blog;
$archive_slider_is_enabled = $slider_enabled && $is_archive;
$is_enabled = $blog_slider_is_enabled || $archive_slider_is_enabled;
switch ( $display ) {
case 'most-commented' :
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => $count,
'orderby' => 'comment_count',
'order' => 'DESC',
$info[1] => $info[2]
);
break;
case 'random' :
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => $count,
'orderby' => 'date',
$info[1] => $info[2]
);
break;
case 'featured' :
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => $count,
'orderby' => 'date',
'meta_key' => $info[3],
'meta_value' => 'on',
'ignore_sticky_posts' => true
);
break;
}
?>
<?php if ( $is_enabled ) : ?>
<?php $wp_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>
<?php if ( $wp_query->post_count > 0 ) : ?>
<div class="x-flexslider x-post-slider">
<ul class="x-slides">
<?php if ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
<li class="x-slide">
<article <?php post_class( 'x-post-slider-entry' ); ?> style="<?php echo x_ethos_entry_cover_background_image_style(); ?>">

<div class="cover">

<span class="featured-view"><?php _e( 'View Post', '__x__' ); ?></span>
</div>
</div>
</a>
</article>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
</ul>
</div>
<script>
jQuery(window).load(function() {
jQuery('.x-post-slider').flexslider({
controlNav : false,
