Hello Sandra,

Thank you for browsing the plugin. This plugin can be used to add post modules on your site pages in WordPress. If you have a pre designed blog page in HTML, this can work to some extent, depending upon the design of that page. If you send me the link of that pre designed blog page, I can confirm whether such designed can be achieved by this plugin or not.

Regards

Here’s a page I’m working on that shows the Read More link in some of the posts http://968.42b.myftpupload.com/demo-18-custom-inside-sidebar/

Thank you, I look forward to your help with getting a button.

Hello,

Kindly add these CSS rules inside WordPress admin’s Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:

.wppm .readmore-link {
  background: #0088cc;
  color: #fff !important;
  padding: 2px 8px;
  border-radius: 2px;
}

.wppm .readmore-link:hover,
.wppm .readmore-link:focus {
  background: #0b6694;
  color: #fff !important;
}

You can change the colors as required. Then click on “Save and publish” button and check the site.

Regards

Very Nice – Thank You!!!

Hello madetobeunique,

Thank you for purchasing the plugin. The sidebar on that demo uses two instances of WP post modules, and other widgets like Social Widget, Recent Posts, etc. In order to add these widgets, kindly follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Appearance > Widgets. Then inside your theme’s sidebar, add a “Custom HTML” widget. Then paste the following shortcode in it:

[wppm template="portfolio" gutter_grid="2" imgwidth="210" imgheight="140" imgcrop="true" category_name="featured" num="9" show_overlay="never" image_effect="fadeout"]

Change the category name(s) inside category_name=”featured” to the ones as required. Then save this widget. This will create a Mini gallery widget.

2. In order to add a Recent Posts with small thumbnail, again use a “Custom HTML” widget and paste the following shortcode in it:

[wppm num="4" terms="art-culture" template="list" list_split="33-66" gutter_grid="16" imgwidth="120" imgheight="80" imgquality="90" hsize="14" hide_cats="true" hide_author="true" hide_excerpt="true" hide_reviews="true" enable_schema="true" publisher_logo="197"]

Change terms=”art-culture” with the actual term names or category names.

3. The social widget is not included with this plugin. That is theme specific. But you can find similar widgets on WordPress.org for free.

4. The advertisement image is created using a “Custom HTML” widget and the following markup in it:

<a href="https://codecanyon.net/item/total-recipe-generator-visual-composer-addon/19410410"><img src="http://labs.saurabh-sharma.net/themes/newsplus/demo-2/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/ad_300.jpg" alt="total recipe generator"></a>

Do let me know if you find any difficulty with the above mentioned methods. I will help further.

Regards

Very helpful, thank you!!

Hello austinwebdesign,

In order to change this appearance, copy the file wp-content/plugins/wp-post-modules/wppm_templates/grid.php, and paste inside your current theme as wp-content/themes/your_theme/wppm_templates/grid.php.

Then modify the output in this file at around line no. 190:

$format = apply_filters( 'wppm_grid_s1_output', '<article%12$s%13$s id="post-%1$s" class="%2$s%3$s">%4$s<div class="post-content">%5$s<%11$s%14$s class="entry-title%15$s%16$s"><a href="%6$s" title="%7$s">%7$s</a></%11$s>%8$s%9$s%10$s</div></article>' );

The number %4$s is for post title, and %10$s is for the date and meta. You can swap these numbers or re position them for desired order or appearance. You can also use filter hook in functions.php file. If this all seems complicated, simply send me a screen shot of the desired output; I will suggest appropriate fix and solution.

Hello latenightpixeljunkie,

Sorry for the delayed response. Yes you can show WooCommerce products using this plugin. But the price, variations or any other custom field will not be shown. The output will show product image, title and description.

Regards

No problem. Thanks for sending the update. I haven’t tested it yet. But I will get back once I do.

Thanks Saurabh for providing the updated file. I was able to migrate it to the test environment early this morning and the errors / warnings seem to have disappeared. I also saw the update from Code Canyon as well. Good work. Really appreciate the quick turnaround and great support.

You’re welcome, Arjun.

Hello antoniskonst,

Thank you for purchasing the plugin. The plugin works fine with WPML. I suspect it could be a cache issue. Are you using any caching plugin, in which the non-cached version is shown to logged in user. If not using caching plugin, kindly send me your site URL. I will check what is wrong.

Regards

Hello,

Can you send me the URL of page containing those links please. I will suggest appropriate CSS fix.

Regards

Hello,

Kindly add the following CSS rule inside Appearnce > Customize > Additional CSS:

.wppm-tabs li a {text-decoration: none;}

Save these changes and then check the site by clearing auto-optimize caches and browser caches.

Regards

Hello jucapuna,

As I mentioned earlier, using a draft preview may not save the options properly. You will need to update the page to retain those changes. I can further check if you send me your site URL and login at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com.

The height issue of multiple select list was resolved in v1.1.0:

* Increased height for textarea and multi select drop-downs in Visual Composer elements

Are you using older version or latest one?

Regards

Hello maxtitov,

Thank you for the feedback. I will add this feature in next update.

Regards

Thanks for your work.

Hello 5onlinenl,

Please find my answers below:

1. Thanks for reporting the issue. I am submitting an update for this fix. You can email me at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com to get the updated archive earlier.

2. The post modules show ‘excerpt’ of initial post text in trimmed down manner. For best results, provide an excerpt inside the “Excerpt” panel of post edit screen. If this panel is not visible, you can enable it from the “Screen Options” button on top right corner of the post edit screen. If your post content has structured shortcodes and HTML at starting of post content, it may not be trimmed down properly and show blank lines of plain shortcodes.

3. Yes, it is possible with this latest update. I have added unique class names for each category link which can be targeted in CSS. I will suggest the CSS once you update the plugin.

Regards

Hello Arjun,

Kindly add these rules inside your theme’s custom CSS:

.wppm-tile .entry-title,
.wppm-portfolio .entry-title {
    color: #fff;
}

.wppm-tile a:hover .entry-title,
.wppm-portfolio a:hover .entry-title {
    color: #f00;
}

You can change the hover color #f00 to any other value. Then save these changes and check the site by clearing all caches.

Regards

Thanks Saurabh. You’re awesome.

You’re welcome.

Hello Chris,

You can insert any amount of ads between the modules. Each module is like a column block inside page builder. You move blocks and replace the space with an advertisement. For example, on live demo you will see a leaderboard ad between the module content. You can also have a 300px ad or 428px ad anywhere inside the content.

The header location is theme specific. If you want to show a leaderboard ad next to the site logo, that should be accomplished by theme.

Currently, there is a color picker for category links inside the module. But that applies same color to multiple links in same block. If you want different color for each link, that can be done with a couple of lines of CSS. I will help with that if required.

Regards

Hello jucapuna,

Latest changelog has been added. See here.

Regards

Hello Chris,

Thank you for browsing the plugin. Please find my answers below:

1. Yes, plugins are also updated like themes to keep up-to-date with latest WordPress versions, php and other plugins. Plugins purchased from CodeCanyon will not automatically update like the ones installed from WordPress.org repository. You need to manually update these plugins using FTP or File Manager when any new update is released. You can also use Envato Toolkit for updating plugins automatically (which you purchase from CodeCanyon).

2. Yes, you will be able to use this plugin in any theme. Some themes may have CSS style conflicts with the output of plugin. Those can be overridden with simple style fixes. You can use this plugin in X theme too, provided, you are using WP Bakery Page Builder. (This plugin requires WP Bakery Page Builder). The inner body part will contain all the modules whereas head, sidebar and footer can be of the theme.

3. This plugin currently only works with WP Bakery Page Builder or King Composer (separate plugin). If your current theme is using CornerStone Editor, you can still use WPB Page Builder to create pages. I have read on X theme’s support page about this topic.

4. Yoast SEO detects raw output in page/post editor and suggests if the content is good enough or not. Since this plugin uses shortcodes in editor, Yoast will not be able to detect the output in backend, however, the front end (compiled HTML output) is SEO friendly and also supports rich Schema microdata.

5. Yes, each module can be customized to some extent, like, heading colors, font, category link colors, text color, etc. Module background can be changed by adding a background to the column in WPB Page Builder.

6. Yes, this feature is part of plugin. Each module has posts which are linked to their respective permanent post page. This is general behavior of WordPress posts in archives.

7. NewsPlus is a completely separate product. The live demo uses this theme to showcase WP Post Modules plugin. NewsPlus also has a built in post module plugin. But WP Post Modules provide more options and scope of customization (independent of the theme).

Feel free to ask if you have more questions. I would be glad to respond.

Hello alonakorov,

Thank you for purchasing the plugin. You can either use a pre-built template which contains different post module styles, or create your own one in a blank page. For both these, you can find step-by-step instructions inside the documentation/index.html file of your main download archive. If you have downloaded only “Installable WordPress files”, make sure to re-download all files package.

If you are using pre built template, and the posts still do not appear, it will be required to assign appropriate category inside post module from which posts shall be shown. If you can send me a URL of page on which this plugin is used, I will check and let you know why posts are not displayed.

Regards

Hi Saurabh, I installed the WP Post Modules on a test website with the Boss theme. I am seeing some styling issues – with bullets showing up along with the tiles – I guess list styling as you had pointed out earlier. Can you please provide me with the CSS overrides? The page is running at https://geeknet.gq/discover where you can see the sample error.

Thanks.

Hello Arjun,

Kindly add the following CSS rule inside theme’s style.css or via Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:

.wppm-tile > li {
    list-style: none !important;
}

Save these changes, and then check the site by clearing browser caches.

Regards

Thanks Saurabh. This is neat.

Hello jucapuna,

Sorry I didn’t clearly understood your first query. Do you want carousel images of fixed height? And they shall be loaded with ajax when clicked on pagination? Kindly confirm and also send me a screen shot and URL if possible.

Regarding VC fields going blank, whenever you make any change to the module, those changes will remain temporarily until you update the page. If you duplicate a module block, it may not show same settings. They will get saved only when you click on update/publish button. (I have noticed this too, with other VC elements and this element; but it works when you update the page).

Regards

I need you to help me, is that if the texts are very short I need that in this almost leave by default a maximum of high, so that the text does not roll the link to share.

http://prntscr.com/h3nhhr

otherwise, change the points by number, per page.

if you want I give you administration of the site but I would have to send it separately. How we do?

Hello jucapuna,

Yes please send me your site/page URL containing the slider with login details at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will check it.

There is also an “Auto Height” option inside the “Display” tab of the module. You can choose autoheight as yes/no and see the results. When set to ‘Yes’, the slider will smoothly slide up or down according to the content.

Regards

Hello HELKE,

Thanks very much for the feedback and kind words. I’m glad you like the plugin. Please find my answers below:

1. As I mentioned in previous comment, a shortcode can be generated using VC and then copied from “Classic” mode of editor. But if you want a completely standalone generator, I will consider adding a separate button with modal window of generator fields (which works without VC).

2. If custom post types are registered after the VC has been initiated, they may not show in the UI. So when Custom Post Types are registered, they shall be initiated with highest priority 1. For example:

add_action( 'init', 'your_post_type_init_function', 1 );

This will make them show in Custom post type menu and Taxonomy menu.

3. Auto filtering from tags, categories in single posts and archives will be added in next update. It is a good feature for showing related posts too.

Thanks once again for the comprehensive feedback and feature suggestions.

Regards
