Is is possible to hide the date info that appears under the excerpt?

Hi, I want to love this plugin, but it’s currently giving me a hard time if I want to use the extra parameters. I’m using Divi and I want to show the last “project” which is a divi built-in custom post type. This plugin can pull in the “projects” but it doesn’t respond to the custom parameters I add.

I have tried this in both a text and a code module:
[recentposts-sc numberofposts=”4″ post_type=”project” get_cat_name=”true”]

It still won’t show me the category, it did not show me 4 projects, and it showed “Posted on…” so it seems like whatever parameters I’m passing are being ignored.

I only want to show title, category, and featured image.
And I only want to show ONE project, which would be the latest one.

Please help

HI,

I’ve tried to edit the CSS to remove the border & change the font. As well as removing the date/time based on css you provided another user. None of the changes I input into the CSS editor are coming into effect on my page.

I would like to:
remove the borders, center everything, and remove the date/time

Thanks,
Amy

Hi, thanks for this plugin, it’s been very useful. I have feature request, is it possible to exclude a category using the shortcode? I have some posts with multiple categories but I only want to show posts from Category A and not from Category B. Even if the post contains both Category A and B. I hope that makes sense…

I was hoping to do something like this…

[recentposts-sc category=”categoryA,-categoryB”]

Is that something that can be added to your plugin? Thanks again!

I added label but it doesn’t seem to work.

(Custom label for “Read More”)
Apply your own custom read more label
Example: [recentposts-sc excerpt_more=”true” label=”Keep Reading…”]

Please advise.

Regards,

Eugene

Can this plugin take a video from the post and use that as the image that shows in the post list? This is a feature that is becoming more valuable.

I really like the simplicity of using this plugin but do not have it in use on the above site because it insists on placing a goofy-looking icon in place of the “linked image” that none of my posts contain. I would like a simple, easy to follow solution to this so that just the text of the most recent post appears on the page.
I know, boring and dull. Too bad. Can this plugin accommodate posts without images, or is there one that someone knows of that will?

Hi everyone. I’m trying to use this plugin inside a website realized with Massive Dynamics. The use of shortcode is demanded to the shortcode Mapper of WPBakery Page Builder.

So I parsed some fields, standard and none. The problem is that the plugin shows just the latest news, just one!

What could be the problem? I’ll try to add more informations if needed.

Hi,

i′ve no idea why, but the shortcode [recentposts-sc enable_excerpt=”false”] shows not only the thumbnails, it shows th full content of the last shown post after it.

please help.

In at least some browsers, the text underneath the shortcode wraps around the recent posts. I’ve tried inserted a <br> after the shortcode, but it doesn’t help.

Here’s a screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/k4yn7cs8g77i67g/image.png?dl=0

Using:

[recentposts-sc category=”site-operations”]

On the page and I get:

Notice: Undefined variable: post in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/recent-posts-shortcode-widget/index.php on line 185

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/recent-posts-shortcode-widget/index.php on line 185

Have not looked at source code yet but this seems to be the intent of the plugin and hence suspect that some setup is incomplete.

This is a site under a network.

Hi,

Where do I change the font size,text transform & font family of post title in the tiles?

Secondly ,if post title length(e.g.one line or two lines of title in tiles)is not same in tiles, tiles get disoriented.
This means , say for 6 tiles,disorientation- 3 appears in first row, 2 in second row & 1 in third row.
It should be 3 tiles first row, 3 tiles second row.

Hi, I’ve just noticed that the featured image is not showing anymore, only the post title shows. We haven’t changed any settings, so I’m not sure what happened. Can you please advise? Thanks.

Howdy,

I’m trying to use your plugin to create a filtered posts section on my homepage. It’s a sort of weird project where I just need every blog post in the category “review” to appear. It worked great for the first 3, but when I hit 4 it drops off the oldest. I tried to add numberofposts=”52″ (one for each week of the year), but it then only showed 1 post (the newest)

Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

Any way to show or hide the image? I know I can do it with CSS but it would be better to include a simple attribute like show_image=”false”.

Hello,

When you are ready to review this, I can send you a page where this issue happens.

On one of my pages I have different <sections> through the page. I went to add another section between 2 sections and put my shortcode in there. Everything displays fine but the following sections underneath get broken. For example my video suddenly has an “unknown” source instead of the youtube source that is set in the CMS. My

appears but my <H3> and <H5> tags are gone. My <p> tag is also gone. Any are all unknown and not showing up.

I have used this on a previous page before but did not have any problems. Let me know what you think and perhaps we can share emails and troubleshoot this together.

Thanks

My image that is being used is very low res compared to what the featured image actually is. I tried using image_size in the shortcode with no differences no matter what I put in there. It uses https://advancedkiosks.staging.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Church-check-in-3-150×150.png every time and then resizes it large making it low res. Is there a way to change this so it doesnt use the 150×150?

Hello,
I would like to increase the space between each block.
I suppose that I need to modify this file :
recent-posts-shortcode-widget/css/style.css

What should I change ?
Thanks
Yann

It shows thumbnail just in the posts created BEFORE installing plugin.

In posts created after installation, image doesn’t appear: IMG TAG is missed!!:
Here HTML:
<div class=”rpscw-widgetp”>

</div>

Hello can i have the same design like on this page side bar on the right: https://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv/krypton/241974/krypton-tv-show-trailer-cast-and-characters-story-details-sdcc-info-and-more-news

Is there a way to hide the post date? I’m using shortcode on a page. Thanks.

Posts without a featured image just have a grey generic image but when i upload a featured image no image shows at all, am i doing something wrong? Thank you

Steve Stern on www.remarpro.com plugin forum, suggested that this plugin would let me highlight most recent blog post on my static front page. I see how Supercargo was using it, but I don’t want it in a sidebar.

How to I set up a space on the Home page that will feature the latest posting? Add all that code onto the page, I’m assuming? I see how you got posts before and after a certain date, but I’d like that date to be sort of rolling…grab the post for ‘today’s date’ or the one closest to it. How do I word that coding? (I’m a real techo-dummy, and code is definitely NOT my thing, so I need help explicitly spelled out.)

I’m using Happenstance theme, if that matters.
Thanks.

Here’s an observation.

It would be nice to be able to change the shape of the thumbnail images. Most of my featured images seem to be the right shape to shrink to your thumbnail size, but some aren’t. The image thumbnail size specified for the plugin appears to be 160×380. But how about having square images? Or images that are taller/less wide?

Something to think about for a future upgrade perhaps?

Hi there!

I was looking for a replacement for a Recent Post widget that is no longer maintained and found this one. Most impressed! It looks good with my theme and I will happily try it out for a while. There are two changes I would like to see.

1) I would like to use my “hand crafted excerpt” instead of pulling the first 30-odd words from the text.

2) I’d like to stop the text wrapping around the thumbnail – just have it show under the thumbnail. It does what I want most of the time probably because my featured images are the shape they are, but one or two short words (I, In) are turning up as orphans to the right of the featured image which I think is ugly.

Examples of pages where I’m using plugin:
