The option to add wpspw-post-content has gone?

Can I add a search blog to this? I got my layout setup but I do not see search in settings.

Hi,

I am using the WP Blog widget on the sidebar to display small news items.

The thumbnails of the images look blurred, although the original images are of good quality.

Kindly help with an appropriate css code or resolution.

Hi,

I try to filter by category with this command : [wpspw_post category=”20”] but it doesn’t work, the page becomes white.
I tried another solution that I found here in the support section, with show_tags=”false” but it still doesn’t work.

Could you please assist me ?

Thanks.

Posts are not in one line. When is post title longer than other post titles read more button is lower than other read more buttons and it doesn’t look very good. Can you please help me with it?

Good day, I just wanted to ask how do I change the pagination area from being vertically aligned to a horizontal alignment?

Hi,

I am trying to display category specific post slider on the given page, using Blog Designer – Post and Widget plugin.

It has an option to filter posts by category id, as mentioned in the documentation with following shortcode: [wpspw_recent_post_slider category=”category_id”]

However, I am getting all posts despite using a specific category ID available on my website.

All other filters such as grid design, order, pagination are working properly through their respective shortcode attributes.

But the category=”category_id” is not able to filter out posts by category.

Please help.

I would like to create a front-end search & filter feature using the Facet Wp Plugin, is there a way to make your plugin compatible with it?

I have a slider and a grid on my page. I want to change the size of the font for the title on the slider without impacting the size of the titles on the grid. How can I do this? I’ve tried several different options to get to the specific text just on the slider, but the size isn’t changing. Any suggestions?

I need random option in ordering of your plugin. Is is possible in our plugin?

Can I have categories on different pages?
one page for news, one for archive and one for features?

Hi,

Are there any compatible plugin with your plugin that can make a post as featured post ?
Please suggest if there are any.

Hi There

Can anybody help provide a simple solution to this problem? I am using blogdesigner on my website. The site is in Danish and the blog text is in Danish. But as you can see in the link alle the blog features are in english like comments and reply.

My general site settings are in Danish so I don’t understand why Blogdesigner isn’t adapting danish in the styles? I’m not a tech guy at all so please go easy with technical specifications.

The default font size for the gird posts title is quite large and I can’t figure out how to change it. Is there a way to do this?

Good day,

I’m using Blog Designer – Post and Widget to display posts in grid and slider on our blog. However, the slider loading after everything on the site. Is there a way to make it load faster? I placed it on top of the page to display trending posts but it’s taking to long to load and display, leaving a huge blank on the website for more than 2 minutes. Please help.

I have been using your plugin for a long time and I needed to add a search engine. Review the code and find an easy way to add it.
Just add three lines of code and the entries are filtered according to the text passed through the url.
I added in the function bdpw_get_posts 3 lines
line 3: $ search = $ _GET [“wpspw_search”];
line 43: $search = !empty( $search ) ? $search : ”;
line 70: ‘s’ => $search,

Could you review the proposal and add it to the plugin?
I send you the complete modified function.

When I go to “https://puponpup.com/new-blog-page/&#8221; it shows the format like the template that I have selected.

However when I click on any post, the blogs are formatted in the traditional WordPress format, and not the format of the template I selected.

I am sure it is something simple I need to change within my WordPress settings, however I can’t figure it out.

you assistance is appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi!

First off, this plugin is fantastic! It is exactly what we needed for this site, and the ability to customize all of the elements in the shortcode is sooo great! Thank you!

We only have one little glitch in that the content_words_limit=”10″ element isn’t working for us. We’ve tried multiple lengths and it just shows the full excerpt.

Not sure if this is a conflict with our theme, or if it’s a plugin issue, but we would truly appreciate any advice on how to get that element to work.

Thank you so much!

Hi – Really good looking plugin.

When using the Widget:

The posts are being shown with the oldest first and sticky posts are not first in the list as might be expected.

I can’t see any settings in the Blog Designer – Post and Widget settings page or in the widget itself.

Can you give me any thoughts on why this might be happening and if it is possible to fix it.

Thanks.

Are custom post types supported ?

Hi,
There is a problem with heading level nesting in the wpspw_posts shortcut if the page where it is used uses h2 headings to separate sections. In this case the section headings are at the same level as the post title headings. This is inconvenient for screen reader users who want to skip to the next section by skipping to the next heading of a particular level. I am trying to modify the plugin to allow specification of the HTML tag used for each post title. This HTML element tag is hard-coded to h2 in templates/grid/design-[12]. I have added another parameter
to the wpspw-post shortcode and pass it to the template. To make this work I changed the style sheet to remove references to h2:

When I run this with h2 output appears as the unmodified version. When I change to h3 the h2 text gets larger. Since I changed the stylesheet to depend only on .wpspw-post-title, there is another style rule that is affecting h2. Can you tell me what it is?

For my purposes, it is okay that h3 in the posts list looks the same as h2. It is smaller than the h2 that is outside the posts list.

I have tried to determine the controlling CSS rule with Google Chrome Developer Tools, but I’m using the JAWS screen reader, and accessibility of Devtools isn’t the greatest.

Thanks.

I want to be able to click on the categories to view all articles in that cateory. But the page generates first a thumbnail of the post, then includes the full post (but still add the ‘read more’ button at the end), and then does the same with any additional posts in the category. Is there a way to just have the thumbnails of each story in the category show?

Hi,
My security plugin picked up on a change in the file “blog-designer-post-and-widget.php” (version 1.6.2) and I need to ask if these changes are valid or if it’s due to malicious activities. I have not updated the plugin and I don’t use automatic updates.

original string:
‘offers’ => array( ‘trial_premium’ => array( ‘image’ => ‘https://analytics.wponlinesupport.com/?anylc_img=27&#8217;, ‘link’ => ‘https://analytics.wponlinesupport.com/?anylc_redirect=27&#8217;, ‘desc’ => ‘Or start using the plugin from admin menu’, ) ),

Changed to:
‘offers’ => array( ‘trial_premium’ => array( ‘image’ => ‘https://analytics.wponlinesupport.com/?anylc_img=27&#8217;, ‘link’ => ‘https://www.wponlinesupport.com/simplified-checkout3/?edd_action=add_to_cart&download_id=106568&edd_options%5Bprice_id%5D=2&wpos_cart_flush=1&utm_source=optin&utm_medium=WP&utm_campaign=WPOptin&#8217;, ‘desc’ => ‘Or start using the plugin from admin menu’, ) ),

I have also downloaded a fresh plugin package from the WP plugin catalog and compared this with the changed file in my installation, and the change is not present in the fresh downloaded version.

Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks,

Donald

Hi, I bought blog designer pro and I have tried blog designer for posts but I can’t get either of them to do the 3 grid layout. Please help as I am very frustrated that I bought the pro version and I don’t know if I need it.

Everything works fine, but the strange thing is it doesn’t show any content at all. When selecting a post, it does appear in the single post page.

Even if I use show_content=”true”, nothing appears. Any idea what this could be?

i have trouble in disabling author in a single blog, also when I clicked on the author link, it directed me to the wp author posts instead of the plugin’s author blog list, which showing all wp post but not those i have created with the plugin.

I have clicked on the date and it linked me to the wp post date link (e.g. https://society.origami.hk/2019/02/12/) instead of the page showing all blog created by the plugin on a date. If possible, I would like to disable the date link on my post since my site is unlikely having more then 1 blog per day.

Also I am not able to remove/disable the default /blog-post/ page.

Greetings,

Love the plugin! However, post categories are not being properly formatted. My blog page is rending nicely using [wpspw_post grid=”2″ design=”design-1″]

But the category list (example: /category/a-category/) is not being formatted… not using the grid, no thumbnail image, etc.

We are interested in upgrading, but would like to make sure this works.

Thanks!

after update my slider is now showing huge space from where the slider should be and posting my posts in a list down the page. When I go into elementor the slider is showing correctly but not in live site
