Blog featured slider and last blog post

Hi tellthemsol,

not sure why you slider is not being shown.

Did you check the Theme Option theme (Appearence > Theme Option) to see if you didn’t hide this slider?

Can you provide me your website link, please?

Hi

The slide is being shown, the problem is that the slide show all the post but not the last one, you see ?

Regards

Ok, you have to look if you didn’t enable the random mode or picked a specific category.

I also noticed that also in the official demo:

https://wp-themes.com/lupercalia?TB_iframe=true&width=1239&height=501

The last post does not appear in the Blog featured slider only the 2nd ,3rd, ect.

Yes i checked random and specific category, but it is not resolved

I also checked “Post(s) offset”, it is set on 0

Ah ok, now I understood what you are saying and I think you are right.

Front page slider shows the last post, but on blog it is skipping one post, the last one… I am going to take a look and see what is happening… thank you for reporting this.

It will be fixed on the next update.

Ok thank you, if you fixe this , can you post here the solution? before the update?

Sure, no problem.

tellthemsol,

I found the source of the problem, but I am not sure if I can help you right now. I made a couple of changes, I’ve removed and added some code on my function.php to make it works as it should.

Also, my original files are a bit different of yours now because I am thinking about change the jQuery Slider to another one.

Hi
Ok is it possible to give me what you did the code ill try

Sure,

All changes were made on function.php.

at lupercalia_slider() add this (around line 572):

$defaults = array (
“category_id” => 0,
“visible_items” => 1,
“num_posts” => 4,
“post_offset” => 0,
“auto_play” => true,
“mobile_items” => 1,
“orderby” => ‘ASC’,
“post__not_in” => null,
);

and this (around line 587):

$the_query = new WP_Query( array( ‘category__in’ => $category_id, ‘offset’ => $post_offset, ‘showposts’ => $num_posts, ‘post__not_in’ => $post__not_in, ‘orderby’ => $orderby, ) );

after this, you have to change lupercalia_relatedpost() function to make it skip the post which is being displayed (around line 672 ):

$args = array (

‘category_id’ => lupercalia_post_category(),
‘num_posts’ => $option[‘relatedposts_slider_field’][‘relatedposts_slider_numposts_field’],
‘visible_items’ => $option[‘relatedposts_slider_field’][‘relatedposts_slider_visibleitems_field’],
‘mobile_items’ => $option[‘relatedposts_slider_field’][‘relatedposts_slider_mobileitems_field’],
‘auto_play’ => $option[‘relatedposts_slider_field’][‘relatedposts_slider_autoplay_field’],
‘orderby’ => $option[‘relatedposts_slider_field’][‘relatedposts_slider_random_field’],
‘post__not_in’ => array($post->ID),

);

and this (around line 686):

$args = array ( ‘num_posts’ => 5, ‘visible_items’ => 3, ‘category_id’ => lupercalia_post_category(), ‘mobile_items’ => 2, “auto_play” => ‘false’, ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’, ‘post__not_in’ => array($post->ID) );

Thank you very much, i have applied what you told me and now its work very well.
thank you again for you help
Regards
