Customizing the posts in a page

    I’m sure this has been asked before… I just couldn’t find it.

    I’m trying to pull posts from one category on my website, and post them to a separate page. So far, so good. However, the posts on the separate page (it’s a fitness page) look awful. I want to code them to make them look like the posts on my main page. I’m sure it has something to do with loops and php, but I can’t figure it out.

    My website is https://www.momburntdinner.com and the sub page on which I would like the main page style mimicd is https://www.momburntdinner.com/fitness

    Thanks for helping me out.

    Also, the only code I have on the /fitness page right now is this:

    [ic_add_posts category='fitness'} I thought If I tried to do something like [ic_add_posts category='fitness' template='page.php'] that it would mimic the coding on my page.php but that didn’t work.

    Hey fauxtograph,

    Awesome handle, by the way. ??

    I believe you’ll find your answer here:

    It’s most likely the exact same situation. Our plugin has no resident styles, so you need to adapt the plugin’s loop template to coincide with the IDs and classes used in your theme.

    Hope that helps.

    So would I edit the posts_in_loop.php file with css, id’s and CSS of my own?

    Hi fauxtograph,

    So, you’ll need to copy the posts_loop_template.php file from the plugin’s folder to your theme’s main directory and customize it to match your theme’s IDs and classes. You can rename it, if you need to have multiple custom loops, and point to it within the shortcode.

    To find your theme’s IDs and classes, you can use a tool like Firebug.

    Feel free to copy/paste your current posts_loop_template.php file into your reply, and I can suggest changes.

    Cheers,
    Eric
