News feed from the blog post

[riasage]

II there a way to edit the looks of the classic recent post widget in the front page? Or are there alternatives plugin i can use. I wanted to include images in the feed and also the text to be formatted.

I want something like this: https://monosnap.com/file/yUK0yihQdpnGQ5yBWTTNgTSUfCLL9y

Here is the page of the site i am working on: http://minami.grlpro.com/home/

This is going to be a news feed. But all the info will be pulled from the blog posts

Thank you in advance

Hello @riasage,

Thanks for asking.

The post element that’s shown in screenshot looks like changes the content on hover effect. As of now Pro Theme recent post element does not has this feature. You can use a 3rd party plugin from WordPress plugin repository or purchase plugins from Codecanyon. You can use following source to get research plugin:

1. WordPress plugin repository: https://wordpress.org/plugins/
2. Codecanyon: https://codecanyon.net/

Thanks.

Hi Present, Thank you for your response. I downloaded “Recent Posts Widget With Thumbnails” from the repository and installed it. But I can’t find it in cornerstone. How can i add it in cornerstone so i can insert it into the page?

Hello There,

Are you referring to this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/recent-posts-widget-with-thumbnails/?
This is a widget plugin. It is only available for your sidebar and footer widget area. You can manage this widget in Appearance > Widgets. Drag this widget to your sidebar if you want to display the recent post items.

You cannot use this in Cornerstone because this does not provide any shortcode at all. You may need to find another plugin that offers a shortcode so that you can easily use it within Cornerstone.

Hope this helps.

Hi There,
So I found this plugin in the WP repository: W4 Post List

But when I try to use the shortcake from the plugin documentation, it doesn’t work in cornerstone.

E.g:
[posts] <div class="[post_class]"> <h3><a href="[post_link]">[post_title]</a></h3> <p>[post_excerpt wordlimit="20"]</p> </div> [/posts]

Only the this shortcode works:
[postlist id=1078]

Hi There,

Could you please try adding the shortcodes to the text element instead?

Regretfully, we cannot provide support for third party plugins or scripts as our support policy in the sidebar states due to the fact that there is simply no way to account for all of the potential variables at play when using another developer’s plugin or script. Because of this, any questions you have regarding setup, integration, or troubleshooting any piece of functionality that is not native to X will need to be directed to the original developer.

Thank you for your understanding.
