How can I fix the size of the posts, so all can be the same size? Like: https://dmixbrasil.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/22.jpg

Sorry, I just gave you a bad exemple.This one was fixed before. The problem is not the image, but the text. It does not have the same numer of characters/space: https://dmixbrasil.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/33.jpg

Hello,

If the post titles are long, the height of the post block will increase. Post titles can not be trimmed to a desired length. However, you can control the post excerpt length by choosing “Excerpt length” inside the “Content” tab of the module settings.

The excerpt is trimmed by word length. For example, if you set the length to ‘12’, it will show 12 words. Now if one of the word is too long, it is natural that the entire text block height may increase.

Great. Thank you so much

Hi. I can just find samples, but I can not find how to do each sample. Please can you help? some like how can I do it: https://dmixbrasil.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/11.jpg

Hello wsinsideweb,

Thank you for purchasing the plugin. In order to create such layout, there is a procedure of around 10-12 steps. I have created screen shots for each step which I can send to you. Please send me an email at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will send you the screenshots.

New Error :(

More happy with your plugin but upgrade to 1.7 and I have a new bug using betheme

Hello jucapuna,

As you can see in the screen shot, the error is with the mpc shortcodes plugin. Kindly check by disabling that plugin for a while. If the error goes away, you need to check with the author of MPC shortcodes plugin to fix this issue.

Regards

I received an email that there is an update available, and on your website it shows version 1.7.0 and I have version 1.6.0 installed. The plugin directory is not showing an available update. Please advise on how to update the plugin without deleting all of my data.

Thanks!

Hello lpoindex,

In order to update the plugin, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your codecanyon account’s downloads section. Then download the installable WordPress file of the plugin.

2. Using FTP or File Manager of your hosting account, replace the /wp-content/plugins/wp-post-modules/ folder with the latest one.

If you need to do an automatic update, kindly install the Envato Market plugin on your site. This will automatically update themes and plugins which you have purchased from Envato.

Hi

I’m trying to paste shortcode in sidebar and in custom template I created with Toolset Types plugin. The sidebar shortcode is giving me a fatal error and the shortcode I’m pasting in custom template is not showing on the front end.

Can you please help

Best regards

Hello again!

Can you please give complete reference to how to use/write shortcodes? It’s a bit hard to guess now.

Best regards,

Hello HELKE,

Thank you for purchasing the plugin. If you are using WP Bakery Page Builder, you need not create the shortocode manually. All parameters can be generated using the WP Post Module element in page builder. But if you intend to use the shortcode in sidebar widgets, you can copy the raw shortcode from “Classic” mode of editor. The shortcode of this plugin starts with [wppm] name. See http://prntscr.com/h0fbtc

In custom php templates, shortcode doesn’t work by pasting directly. It should be executed using do_shortcode as:

$shortcode = '[wppm post_type="post" taxonomy="category" terms="fashion,lifestyle" template="list"]';
echo do_shortcode( $shortcode );

I will also try and include complete shortcode reference in the documentation file. Since the plugin is intended to use with page builder, I didn’t included this reference so far. Do let me know whether you are using it standalone or with page builder.

Regards

Changeling…. time without knowing what changes there are, 1.7… 1.8

Hello jucapuna,

Changelog has been updated on the item details page. You can also find complete changelog inside plugin folder’s readme.txt file.

Hi SaurabhSharma. I am testing your module by trying to create 1/2 colums like your demo (section) FOOD & RECIPE on http://labs.saurabh-sharma.net/plugins/wppm/

I want something like this: https://plik.root.gg/file/Kdj8Ksm4PMrmGaGo/JOfM5gJ1pGm8Fapm/2017-10-10_18-52-41.jpg

Do I need to create two columns: the first with the module with 1 pots and the other with the same module but listing 4 posts?

How to do this?

Regards

Hello jftell,

Thank you for purchasing the plugin. Yes, you would create two columns inside a row. Then in each column, use the WPPM element to show the posts.

The first column will have one post with “Grid” style template. The number of columns will also be 1 so that it occupies full column width.

Then the next column will have “List” style posts. In that, choose around 33-66 split ratio for list. From the “Content” tab, choose a smaller font size for post headings, and you can choose to hide excerpt.

In second column WPPM module, choose offset as 1 (in “Query” tab) so that the post of first column do not get repeated.

Regards

Do I need to do anything special within my theme’s single.php template? It’s only displaying the post content and no navigation or share buttons.

Hello tommycutter,

Thank you for purchasing the plugin.

Can you send me the URL of such single post please. I will check the issue.

Regards

Hello! Thanks for the great plugin. I’m using the tile format and want to make the entire tile clickable, not just the text. How do I do that?

Hello,

The entire tile can be made clickable by changing the output of tile using filters. For that, add the following code at the end of your current theme’s functions.php file:

function main_tile_clickable() {
  return '<li%10$s%11$s class="tile-2x2%1$s"><div class="tile-wrap"><a href="%4$s" title="%5$s">%2$s<div class="tile-content%15$s"%16$s><div class="tile-overlay"><%9$s%12$s class="entry-title%13$s%14$s">%5$s</%9$s>%7$s</div></div></a></div></li>';
  }
function sub_tiles_clickable() {
  return '<li%8$s%9$s class="%1$s%7$s"><div class="tile-wrap"><a href="%3$s" title="%4$s">%2$s<div class="tile-content%15$s"%16$s><div class="tile-overlay"><%6$s%10$s class="entry-title%11$s%12$s">%4$s</%6$s></div></div></a></div></li>';
  }
function thumblink_small_change() {
  return '<div%5$s class="post-img"><img%6$s src="%3$s" alt="%2$s" title="%2$s"/></div>';
  }
add_filter( 'wppm_tile_small_items_output', 'sub_tiles_clickable' );
  add_filter( 'wppm_tile_first_item_output', 'main_tile_clickable' );
  add_filter ( 'wppm_tile_thumbnail_small', 'thumblink_small_change' );
  add_filter ( 'wppm_tile_thumbnail_medium', 'thumblink_small_change' );
  add_filter ( 'wppm_tile_thumbnail_big', 'thumblink_small_change' );

Make sure to add this code before closing ?> tag of php.

This code will wrap entire tile thumbnail and it’s contents into an anchor. The limitation is that you can not have category links or other links inside the tile, because a valid HTML doesn’t support nested links or buttons inside a link.

Regards

And how do I do the same thing for the portfolio post type?

For portfolio clickable grids, add the following code inside your theme’s functions.php file:

function portfolio_output_change() {
    return '<article%10$s%11$s class="%1$s"><a href="%4$s" title="%5$s"><div class="tile-wrap">%2$s<div class="tile-content%15$s"%16$s><div class="tile-overlay"><%9$s%12$s class="entry-title%13$s%14$s">%5$s</%9$s>%7$s</div></div></div></a></article>';
}
function portfolio_thumblink_change() {
    return '<div%5$s class="post-img%8$s"><img%6$s src="%3$s" alt="%2$s" title="%2$s"/>%4$s%7$s</div>';
}
add_filter ( 'wppm_grid_thumbnail_s1', 'portfolio_thumblink_change' );
add_filter ( 'wppm_portfolio_thumbnail', 'portfolio_thumblink_change' );
add_filter ( 'wppm_portfolio_output', 'portfolio_output_change' );

Hello, I’m having an issue where the plugin recognizes some, but not all of my custom post types. I’ve already added

remove_action( ‘init’, ‘cptui_create_custom_post_types’, 10 ); add_action( ‘init’, ‘cptui_create_custom_post_types’, 1 );

To my functions.php file, as referenced in another post and having the same issue still.

Hello draedeae,

Thank you for purchasing the plugin. Are your custom post types added via “Custom Post Types UI” plugin? Or registered via theme. Also let me know if some of the custom post types (registered via plugin) are showing, or none of them. In that case I will need your site URL and login to check the issue. You can send those details to my email address xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com.

Regards

I have resolved this on my own. Thanks

Thank you for resolving the issue. Can you please share the solution, just in case any other user faces same problem.

Regards

Hi, great plugin! I’m trying to use it with a specific custom post type (create through CPT UI plugin), but the query screen doen’t show the custom post type I’ve created (called ‘team’), only “post” and “page” options. What I have to do to show the CPT?

Hello dpmeneghetti,

Thank you for purchasing the plugin. The CPT UI plugin registers custom post types ‘after’ the Visual Composer has been initialized. So those CPTs are not detected. This priority of post registration can be changed by adding the following code snippet inside your child theme’s functions.php file, or main theme’s functions.php file:

remove_action( 'init', 'cptui_create_custom_post_types', 10 );
add_action( 'init', 'cptui_create_custom_post_types', 1 );

Make sure to add this code before closing ?> tag. After adding this code, the admin UI will show all registered post types. Reference here.

Regards

Hi, I can’t select any category for filtering, I only get the tags list on Terms. Category is shown bold, but not categories to display. How can I fix it?

Best, André

Hello André,

This was a known issue and was fixed in v1.2.0. Are you using latest version of plugin or the older one? If using latest version, kindly send me your site URL and login details at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will check and fix the issue.

Hi. Will this plugin work WITHOUT visual composer or is it required? Thanks

Hello terryatsm,

Thank you for browsing. This plugin requires Visual Composer. However, this same plugin is also available for King Composer. You can download King Composer for free from WordPress.org.

You can check WP Post Modules King Composer Version and King Composer plugin.

Hi, The plugin is fantastic. Great work!! I’m really appreciating all the detail you put into it. One question: I’m using WP Post Modules for Visual Composer and using the WP Posts module to display a list of posts…. but I don’t see where I can allow for pagination. I can choose the total # of posts (which is great) and the offset (which is also very appreciated) but outside but I don’t see an easy mechanism to allow either lazy loading or ‘load more posts’ options for the list. Is there any easy way to handle this? thanks!

excellent. thanks so much for the quick response. fantastic work!!! it’s going to make the pluginn even better. cheers!

has this update been posted to the site? looking forward to it! thanks

Yes, this update is available since Aug 10. You can download it from your codecanyon account’s downloads section.

Regards

Congrats, good luck with sales – DCSF

Thanks mate. :)

Hi there,

Im considering using this plugin but i need to be able to show posts that have specific tags rather than categories. Is this possible?

Thank you

Hello,

I just checked some of the demos of that theme. By looking at the source code and CSS, the plugin shall work without any issue. The heading and text styles will be inherited from theme. If any CSS conflict arises, I will provide necessary fix. Besides these I do not see any major compatibility issue.

Regards

I have bought and installed the plugin now. We are not using a specific page for the home page as we have customised the theme home page through their customizer. Is there a way i can builder the slider and insert it into our code, maybe using a short code or a snippet of HTML?

Hello bythescruff,

Thank you for purchasing the plugin. Yes you can copy the shortcode and paste inside a text block in your page builder or hard code the shortcode in theme core files using do_shortcode(). To do that, first create the slider using normal page and Visual Composer. Then check the page in front end. Once you are satisfied with the output, switch to the text mode of editor. You will see a shortcode named [wppm]. Copy this entire shortcode and use in your theme text blocks, or you can echo it using the following code:

echo do_shortcode( '[wppm template="slider" ... other parameters ...]' );

If you let me know which particular slider module you want to insert, I can provide you a sample shortcode markup.

Regards

I could not make the plugin work. None of the templates has worked. I have tried to add it as an element. From all the templates only List Style has worked. But that way it doesn’t look like one of the pages you have in your demo. I have sent you the admin user and password per email. Could you please have a look? Thanks in advance

Hello soulofrain,

Thank you for purchasing the plugin. I just checked your site. There were some CSS conflicts with the theme. I have added necessary CSS and emailed you all the details. The issue has been resolved.

Regards

I have never thought that the cause would be CSS conflicts. Thank you for the support and the good job.

No problem. I’m glad I was able to help. Thank you for taking time and rating the plugin. It is very much appreciated.

Regards

Hi, I need this issue resolved very fast… When using the module add-on it does not allow me the opportunity to choose specific categories to display…

Please help with a response to this issue, I’d prefer to keep my log-in information out of this.

Hello ariadaryadel,

Thank you for purchasing the plugin. It seems your site’s php version is below 5.4. I have already submitted an update 3 days ago which is still in queue. Kindly send me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will send you the update. That shall work fine.

Regards

Can I pull in posts from a specific category as apposed to all posts?

Hello rhysgregory,

Thank you for browsing. Yes you can show posts from specific category, tag, custom post type, a custom post ID, author ID, etc. You can select these from the settings panel. See screenshot. You can also use multiple categories or just one.

Regards

Thank you for the help! I’ve just purchased it and installed… can you make some recommendations on the layout / styling please? http://walesblognetwork.com/magazine/ I’d like it to be more of a magazine style. Also, I’m having trouble hiding blog posts appearing from other categories, despite only selecting to display posts from one category.

Hello,

Thank you for purchasing the plugin. If you intend to use sidebar on Home page, I would recommend using narrow Home layouts like this one. You can load this pre built template in Visual Composer as described inside the documentation file.

Regarding post categories, kindly check again if the categories have got deselected before saving. Also, if the same post is filed in multiple categories, it will appear in both of them (unless excluded using post IDs). You can send me the page URL for checking at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com.

Regards

This plugin only can work with Visual Composer installed? I am using Divi theme, can the plugin support Divi theme?

Hello wayne_min,

Thank you for browsing the plugin.

The plugin has support for Visual Composer UI. It can also work standalone, but in that case you do not have a shortcode generator as in VC. You will need to manually enter shortcode inside your theme’s pages. If your theme supports layout columns, you can use the shortcode in those columns. If you are interested in using it standalone, I will write a shortcode reference and include in documentation. For very basic example, the shortcodelooks like:

[wppm num="3" terms="health" template="list" list_split="33-66" imgwidth="300" imgheight="200" imgquality="90" hsize="20" excerpt_length="18" hide_cats="true" hide_excerpt="true" ... etc. ]

There are more than 135 parameters to this shortcode. What I can do is, include the examples in text files so that those can be used standalone.

Regards
